• LiveCap v3.2.2 🌐 The Reconnect Update - 3 October 2026

  Hey there! Let's start with an apology. Since partway through September, Google translation had quietly stopped showing up for work. We are really sorry. We found another way in and plugged it back in. Details right below. We also finished what we promised last time. WhisperS2T and Qwen3-ASR have moved into the LiveCap folder with every other engine. And if you have been with us for a while and watched models and caches pile up in AppData — the folks we asked to "bear with us a little longer" — you can stop bearing now. 🌐 Google translation is back online This is the big one. If you use translation, please update. What happened — partway through September, Google shut down the connection method LiveCap used. Every translation request LiveCap sent got turned away at the door, and not a single translation came back. Transcription itself kept going; only the original text came through Wha…

• LiveCap v3.2.1 🧹 The Housekeeping Update - 4 September 2026

  Uninstalling LiveCap used to leave 37 GB behind. Hey! This one is unglamorous. Nothing new lights up. Instead, we cleaned up everything LiveCap had been quietly leaving behind. When you uninstalled LiveCap, the models and caches stayed right where they were, buried deep in AppData. On our dev machine that measured 37 GB. That is an extreme case with every engine installed, but even ordinary use leaves several GB behind — somewhere you would never think to look. We also fixed engines refusing to load just because your Windows username contains non-ASCII characters, and translation quietly handing back "Japanese to Japanese." 🆕 Features 🧹 Uninstalling now actually removes things Models and caches now live inside the LiveCap install folder — they used to sit deep in AppData. They now go in the data folder next to LiveCap Uninstalling removes them too — no more hunting for 37 GB by hand.…

• LiveCap v3.2.0 ✒ The Outline Update - 1 August 2026

  Hey! White text with a black outline — the single most classic caption look in existence, seen on every TV and every video, everywhere, always. Turns out you couldn't actually make it in LiveCap's settings. You told us. You were right. So we rebuilt the entire outline system out of sheer spite. We also fixed a v3.1.0 bug where file transcription produced empty subtitles. Sorry about that one. 🆕 Features ✒ Caption outlines, rebuilt from scratch Any text color × any outline color — white + black, your favorite color + black, whatever you like. Width goes 0-10px, and translated / original lines configure independently One setting row: "Outline: width + color" — remember staring at "inner outline" and "outer outline" wondering which one to touch? That two-tier setup is gone. No more staring Thick outlines don't fall apart anymore — widening the outline used to slice the tops and bottoms cl…

• LiveCap v3.1.0 🛡 The Triple Defense Update - 10 July 2026

  Hey! This update is all about hallucinations — those random "uh", "hmm", "beep" tokens AI speech engines drop in the middle of silence. Three defense layers now stand between your mic and your captions. Also in the box: built-in OBS / VRChat setup guides and a faster Parakeet Japanese. 🆕 Features 🛡 Triple Defense — 3 independent layers against hallucinationsDefense used to be a single VAD (Voice Activity Detection) stage. Now it's three independent layers: Layer 1 — Noise gate: kills loud ambient noise right at the mic Layer 2 — Silence filter\: drops the quiet stuff that snuck past the VAD Layer 3 — Confidence filter\: kills low-confidence AI output before it hits your captions Measured on Parakeet Japanese × applause-like noise: hallucinations 50% → 0%, legit speech accidentally dropped: 0. Each layer toggles independently. Noise gate / silence filter thresholds are set with one pre…

• LiveCap v3.0.1 ⚡ The Blackwell Update - 24 May 2026

  LiveCap v3.0.1 ⚡ The Blackwell UpdateRTX 50xx, now actually working. Fixed: RTX 5090 not working in CUDA modeRight after v3.0.0 shipped, we received a Discord report: "CUDA mode won't start on my RTX 5090." The cause was that the PyTorch we bundled had been baked slightly before the RTX 50xx (Blackwell) series launched. Like reheating a lunchbox and finding it still cold. v3.0.1 swaps in a PyTorch CUDA 12.8 build (with Blackwell support). RTX 5060 / 5070 / 5080 / 5090 should all just work in CUDA mode now. Big thanks to the user who reported this. Still supportedGTX 10xx (1050 / 1060 / 1070 / 1080 / 1080 Ti) — Pascal GTX 16xx (1650 / 1660 / 1660 Ti) — Turing RTX 20xx — all of them — Turing RTX 30xx — all of them — Ampere RTX 40xx — all of them — Ada RTX 50xx — all of them — Blackwell ← NEW Datacenter cards (A100, H100, L40S, etc.) keep working as well.

• LiveCap v3.0.0 🎙 The Listening Update - 22 May 2026

  v3.0.0 Release Notes livecap-gui got a complete rewrite Sorry it's been a while since v2.1.0 (really, sorry). v3.0.0 is not a small bump on top of v2.1.0 — we rewrote the whole thing. Line by line. "Surely you're exaggerating," you might say. We are not. The GUI framework, the audio pipeline, the engine integration, the settings system, even where files live on disk — all different now. Old config files do not carry over. Apologies. A setup wizard pops up on first launch and walks you through it (about 30 seconds, probably). Recognition accuracy: way better This is the part we spent the most time on. Optimized VAD (Voice Activity Detection) — "it cut me off mid-sentence" and "weird segment boundaries" should be much rarer now. Audio pipeline rewritten end-to-end — there were some Not Great Things happening between your microphone and the engine. We stopped doing them. Noise gate auto-ca…

• LiveCap v2.0.4.5 - High-Precision & High-Speed Update 🎯⚡ - 3 August 2025

  Hello everyone!This update is one of the biggest evolutions in LiveCap history. We've massively improved both accuracy and speed at the same time!

And that frustration when subtitles took forever to appear even after you spoke...remember? Well, we fixed it all. 😎✨ New Features 🧠 Ultra-High Accuracy - False detections plummeted from 67% to under 5%!We completely rebuilt LiveCap's voice detection method. Instead of simply looking for silence, it now uses actual Voice Activity Detection - advanced AI technology that can distinguish your voice from everything else.The result? False detections dropped from 67% to less than 5%. That's not a typo. It really got that much better.Powered-up Japanese Recognition 🇯🇵We switched the default Japanese engine to NVIDIA's lates…
