Release notes

Shiyin 3.3.0

October 17, 2026DownloadGitHub Release

Japanese meetings and automatic language detection

• Meetings can now be in Japanese: the live transcript uses the Japanese recognizer built into macOS, and the final transcription uses Whisper large-v3-turbo (downloaded the first time you transcribe a Japanese meeting, 574 MB)
• Notes, To confirm questions and transcript corrections for Japanese meetings are in Japanese, and all five built-in templates have Japanese versions; exports use Japanese headings and fonts, and meetings are shown with Japanese glyphs
• Language detection: about 10 seconds into a recording, Shiyin works out whether people are speaking Chinese, English or Japanese, switches only when it's confident, and lets you switch back from the recording screen (needs a 60 MB model; turn it off in Settings → Recording)
• Fixed: after switching meetings, Move to Trash in the More menu could delete the previous meeting
• Fixed: changing the template or meeting language could bring back the old version of notes you had just saved; switching tabs while editing meeting notes now saves your edits instead of discarding them
• Delete Permanently and deleting a model now ask first; if a model download is interrupted, you can resume it from the meeting page
