What's New

1. v2.0.6October 1, 2026

   • The option to use your own Deepgram key has been removed: speech recognition always runs on your plan or trial. Multilingual meetings now work on any plan and on the free trial, with no key of your own, and their time counts toward your plan hours. Multilingual mode offers English, German, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Japanese, Dutch and Hindi; other languages are no longer available in it. A key you saved earlier is deleted from the extension.
   • New “Only the translation goes to the call” option under “What others hear” in the sound settings: the other side hears only the translated voice, not your own. If translation stops working — you press Stop, the connection drops or the server reports an error — your own voice returns to the call automatically. A connection that silently dies, for example after a network change, is now noticed within about 15 seconds and reconnects (with MeetVoice Desktop 2.0.6).
   • The translated voice catches up instead of piling up: a phrase whose voice-over has been waiting to play for more than about 10 seconds is skipped, while its subtitle still appears, and a stale translation of your own speech is no longer spoken into the call.
   • What other participants say now appears with punctuation and capital letters in subtitles, the transcript and exported files.
   • A clearer glossary: the fields are now called “Meeting topic”, “Do not translate” and “Translate as”, each with a hint; area chips such as Finance or Legal replace the Tech/Finance buttons; the pairs field shows an example in your own languages, counts pairs and says why a line was skipped. Ordinary words added by the old Tech/Finance buttons are translated again, suggestions of words the recognizer was unsure about have been removed, and edits are no longer lost when the extension window closes, including with Esc.
   • Fixed: “Translate as” pairs now really work in both directions, as promised in 2.0.5: a “deal → сделка” pair also turns “сделка” in your speech into “deal”, and your own reverse pair takes priority. A long glossary in Cyrillic, Hindi or Japanese no longer stops subtitles from appearing.
   • The desktop app is easier to follow: its window shows one clear next step, the language pair and duration of the current translation, and when your hours reset. Errors explain the cause and offer a fix and a “Copy diagnostics” button, buttons report failed actions instead of staying silent, and notifications open the matching card. Setup counts as complete once the first subtitles appear in Google Meet.
   • When your trial ends or your plan is no longer active, MeetVoice stays in the tray (the menu bar on Mac) and shows how to continue instead of closing, and the extension names the reason right away instead of a long wait and a generic error. The tray menu is shorter; the license window has a “Paste” button and a “Lost your key?” link and no longer covers the checkout page; subscribers change their plan in the billing portal.
   • Settings → Advanced has a new switch for usage statistics: daily counts of which features and settings you use — no speech, transcripts or names — sent through the desktop app to help us decide what to improve. On by default; turning it off stops collection.
   • Desktop app: updated Electron engine with current Chromium security fixes, the app takes less disk space, and a license agreement is shown on first install. macOS 13 Ventura or later is now required; on older macOS the app stays on version 2.0.5.
   • Smaller fixes: consistent icons instead of emoji across the extension; a new installation picks a language pair from your browser language; several Google Meet tabs no longer mix up transcripts, names or voice-over; no false “Server disconnected” banner after Stop; speaker names come back when Meet rebuilds the participant grid; moving the “Original voice during translation” slider no longer makes you quieter before the translated voice actually starts; the “Test conversation” ends with an error at once when speech recognition fails for good instead of running out the clock; deleting a meeting also deletes its AI summary; Serbian dates and numbers in the desktop app use Latin script; the extension no longer asks for access to api.deepgram.com.

2. v2.0.5September 20, 2026

   • The glossary is more flexible: add a meeting topic, important names and exact “spoken → translated” pairs. MeetVoice uses them in both translation directions so terms and product names stay consistent.
   • Glossary changes now reach the active translation session reliably, and invalid saved data no longer breaks the settings panel.
   • Demo and voiceover diagnostics are more precise, making it easier to confirm that translation and speech are ready before a call.

3. v2.0.4September 14, 2026

   • People on speakers no longer hear the translation of their own words: the extension now explicitly requires Chrome’s echo cancellation, so our own voice-over stays out of the microphone.
   • The Google Meet control panel has been reworked: one compact panel with a drag handle, collapsing and toggles for transcript, subtitles and translation audio. Its position is remembered, and “Stop translation” lives in a separate menu and never ends the call.
   • New in the transcript: select a word or phrase and choose “Explain selected term” to get an explanation in the context of that line, then add it to your glossary in one click. Requires the desktop app running and an active plan.
   • Cleaner audio and subtitles: the original is quieted only while the translated voice is actually speaking and comes back in its pauses, and subtitle lines wrap to the real font width, stop jumping while the translation is still streaming and no longer slide off-screen when dragged.
   • Speech no longer splits numbers and dates in the middle, one-word answers are no longer silently skipped, and closing quotation marks are read together with the sentence in every language.
   • More reliable stop and restart: stopping works even when saving the meeting stalls, starting right after a stop no longer shows a false error, and reconnecting no longer drags leftovers from the previous session along.
