Loquora Dev Blog — July 6–10 🚀

A packed week: two major features and serious stability work.

Voice-over dubbing for incoming speech (Pro & Business)
The headline feature. You no longer just read your caller's translation - Loquora speaks it into your headphones, while the original voice is automatically ducked, like in professional voice-over translation. While a translated phrase is playing, the original fades to the background - nothing gets mixed up. Enable it with the "Voice-over (dubbing)" toggle in the overlay settings.

New audio capture engine
We rewrote system audio capture from scratch: now working directly with CoreAudio (macOS 14.2+) and WASAPI (Windows 10 2004+). What this gives you:
- subtitles can never "hear" themselves anymore: Loquora's own voice-over and your speech are excluded from capture at the OS level;
- no more screen recording dialogs;
- everything keeps working the old way on older systems.

Subtitles no longer cut words in half - long phrases are now split at natural pauses, no more fragments like "...sing?".

🛠 Quality of life:
- one-click Loquora Mic virtual microphone auto-setup + support for apps without mic selection (WeChat and others);
- a "Set up virtual mic again" button in settings — in case you skipped the wizard on first launch;
- in-app feedback form (in the footer) — messages reach the team instantly, and you can attach logs to bug reports with a single checkbox;
- the app now properly restores your system microphone, even after a force quit.

Feedback - right from the app 😉

Loquora Dev Blog - July 13–17 🚀

A week of teams and reliability: shipped collaborative use and closed out a batch of critical translation bugs.

Team plans
Loquora now works with your whole team: invite teammates by link, manage seats, and on the Business plan - unlimited members.

Call history got smarter
Speaker names are now saved in your call history instead of "Speaker 1," "Speaker 2" - and carried through into the AI-generated summary (Lite+).

Voice choice for incoming dubbing (Pro & Business)
Last week we shipped voice-over dubbing for the other side's speech. Now you can pick which voice reads it - male or female.

🛠Stability:
- fixed a bug where starting a session manually (button or overlay) could leave the microphone silently dead if voice auto-start was also enabled - a race for the same mic stream;
- minimizing the main window right after starting a session no longer kills microphone capture in the background;
- subtitles no longer get stuck showing the original language forever when a single translation briefly fails - they now clear properly instead;
- fixed incoming subtitles translating in the wrong direction when auto-detect was off;
- messages no longer vanish from call history when subtitles are active on two devices at once;
- the browser extension no longer pops up the overlay on pages without a call (chat widgets and anti-fraud scripts were triggering false positives) - and it can now be dismissed manually;
- reworked the translation engine's retry and fallback logic, so a transient provider hiccup no longer drops a phrase entirely.
