Changelog

Uploaded recordings are now separated by voice, so a panel or interview reads as a conversation instead of one undifferentiated block. Speakers arrive as Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on - name them once and the names apply across the transcript, the subtitle exports, and anyone you share the link with. Separation is automatic and imperfect, so the whole transcript is editable by hand.

• Uploads are diarized: each line is attributed to a speaker, colour-coded and grouped so a run of consecutive lines sits under one namenew
• Name each speaker inline - names are saved with the transcript and used everywhere it appearsnew
• Add a speaker the automatic pass missed, or remove one (its lines stay, unattributed)new
• Edit the transcript by hand: change any line's text, timestamp or speaker, split a line in two at the cursor, insert lines, delete linesnew
• Download subtitles as SRT or WebVTT, with or without speaker names baked into each captionnew
• Speaker separation applies to uploaded files - live stream transcripts are unchangedimprovement

LiveScript now speaks MCP, so Claude, Claude Code, and Cursor can fetch a YouTube transcript themselves - paste a link into the chat and the assistant reads the video before it answers. No copy-paste, no browser tab. The developer docs were reorganised into a proper multi-page reference at the same time.

• MCP server at /api/v1/mcp (streamable HTTP), authenticated with your existing API keynew
• get_yt_transcript tool: pass a YouTube URL or 11-character video ID, get back timestamped text plus structured segmentsnew
• Setup instructions for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and any other MCP clientapi
• Documentation split into Introduction, Authentication, MCP, and API sections with a persistent sidebarimprovement

Transcripts you capture on any site with the extension now live in your profile - each capture is its own recording you can revisit, share, archive, or merge. Capturing is more reliable too: switching tabs or reconnecting resumes the same transcript instead of losing it.

• New My transcriptions page listing every private transcript you've capturednew
• Each “Transcribe tab” click is its own recording - capture several videos on the same page as separate transcriptsnew
• Reliable resume: alt-tabbing or a dropped connection continues the same transcript instead of starting overimprovement
• Archive transcripts you're done with (and restore them) - archived ones are hidden from the extensionnew
• Share any transcript with a public link, with one-click copynew
• Merge several captures from the same page into one continuous transcriptnew
• Your captures are private to you - two people on the same page each get their own copyimprovement
