Demodokos Foundry 2.3
Version 2.3 is a major expansion of Foundry's speech tools. It introduces Foundry ASR v4, automated AI Dubbing, real-time Dictation, low-latency streaming speech, the new Demodokos Reader app, and Foundry Link for your phone.
Highlights
- Foundry ASR v4 brings more capable transcription with speaker separation and word-level timing.
- AI Dubbing can take an audio or video source through transcription, translation, voice cloning, timing adaptation, subtitles, and export in one guided workflow.
- Live Dictation turns your microphone or system audio into an editable document with responsive, real-time feedback and spoken editing commands.
- Demodokos Reader reads selected desktop text, ebooks, and PDFs with Foundry-quality voices and fast streaming playback.
- Foundry Link privately connects your phone to Foundry as a remote microphone and portable reader.
AI Dubbing and Transcription
- Meet Foundry ASR v4, the new transcription foundation for Dubbing and Dictation. It can separate speakers and retain word-level timing for more precise editing, playback, and captions.
- Create high-quality automated dubs from audio or video. The guided Create New Dub workflow can transcribe the source, translate it, prepare matching voice clones, adapt delivery to the original timing, and create the final voiceover.
- Keep full creative control over the transcript, translations, speakers, voices, timing, and delivery, then export dubbed audio as MP3 or WAV or publish video with styled subtitles. Time-coded text and caption exports are available where source timing is present.
Live Dictation
- Dictate directly from a microphone or your computer's system audio. Speech appears in a rich, editable document with sub-second live feedback on supported hardware.
- Use natural spoken commands to keep writing without leaving the flow, including punctuation, new lines, undo, redo, pause, continue, and more.
- Review, edit, save, reopen, and export Dictation documents just like any other authored work. Pro also enables speaker separation for conversations and meeting recordings.
Streaming Speech and Demodokos Reader
- New low-latency streaming speech begins playback while Foundry is still preparing the rest of a passage, making long-form listening feel much more immediate.
- The new Demodokos Reader app can read selected text from desktop applications, along with PDF, EPUB, and text documents, using the same high-quality Foundry voices. Its personal library remembers your place and includes contents navigation, bookmarks, and comfortable playback controls.
Foundry Link
- Pair your phone with Foundry and use it as a remote microphone for Dictation, Dubbing, and recording - whether you are nearby or elsewhere.
- Foundry Link Reader puts your private reading library on your phone. Add a book, pick up where you left off, use bookmarks and contents, listen in the foreground or background, and set a sleep timer. The connection is private and encrypted, while speech processing and your library remain under your control on your PC.
MiniMax Music 3
- We've minmax'ed MiniMax Music 3 for Foundry to work on almost any GPU, with support for patching, limited sound cloning, extensions, and fast generation of alternative variations.
- MiniMax Music is significantly slower than our v4 music models, but more consistently delivers great music at the cost of longer waiting times.
- Use the new model if you prefer one great result with a longer wait over choosing a great one from multiple fast results from our v4 models.
Workflow, Polish, and Reliability
- A large number of refinements improve transcription, Dubbing translation and timing, live input, playback feedback, document recovery, recording controls, and mobile connection handling.
Availability
- Foundry ASR v4, AI Dubbing, streaming speech, Demodokos Reader, Dictation, and Foundry Link are included with the Creator license.
- Pro increases the maximum source length for Dubbing and unlocks multi-speaker Dictation for meetings and conversations.
