Release notes
Cinder v1.0.53
A transcription reliability hotfix that keeps your microphone audible without duplicating the other side of the call.
Highlights
Reliable microphone transcription
Quiet speech, startup delays, audio-route changes, and temporary system-audio gaps no longer cause Cinder to discard microphone audio.
Cleaner two-sided conversations
Echo cancellation now preserves genuine double-talk and short acknowledgements while preventing speaker playback from becoming a duplicate transcript.
Fixes
Lossless transcription fallback
Cinder retains a short, private in-memory audio window so it can move safely to on-device transcription when cloud audio conditioning becomes unhealthy.
Safer cloud transcription rollout
Cloud transcription now requires the speech-preserving audio conditioner and falls back locally when that capability is unavailable.
Known issues
No known issues have been published for this release.
This hotfix restores the microphone-preservation contract affected by v1.0.52. Audio-health diagnostics remain aggregate-only and do not store call audio or transcript text.
