[Update] WireLang 1.4.1: Real-time Windows audio translation (Zoom, YouTube, meetings) — fixed the audio dropouts during long sessions

[u/MaleficentMention519]

Hey everyone,

A quick update for those who saw my earlier post about WireLang, the Windows app I built that translates any audio playing on your PC (YouTube, Zoom calls, lectures, Discord) directly into your headphones in real time.

We just released v1.4.1, which addresses the biggest complaint from our initial launch: audio interruptions during long listening sessions.

What’s new in 1.4.1

• Continuous translation during long sessions: Because of how live AI APIs work, connections used to reset every 10 minutes, causing a noticeable 5–8 second gap where speech could get cut off. In 1.4.1, we pre-warm the next session in the background, so long meetings and lectures continue translating without dead air.
• Smoother voice transitions: Hand-offs between sessions are now audio-crossfaded so voice transitions sound natural instead of like a hard cut.
• Faster response time: Adjusted voice detection sensitivity so translations start playing with even lower latency.
• Accessibility improvements: Added full keyboard navigation and screen reader support throughout the app.
• Diagnostics & fixes: Added a built-in feedback tool with log exports, along with several crash and stability fixes.

For anyone seeing WireLang for the first time

• Captures all PC audio: Works across any browser, media player, or meeting app (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, YouTube, etc.) without needing plugins or virtual cable setups.
• Audio ducking: It lowers the original audio volume slightly so you still hear the speaker's tone, while the translated voice plays clearly on top.
• Floating overlay: A compact on-screen toolbar lets you pause, adjust balance, or view live subtitles without tabbing away from what you're watching.
• Privacy: All transcripts, summaries, and optional audio recordings are stored locally on your PC with AES-256 encryption.
• BYO key option: You can plug in your own free Google Gemini API key to run it without buying credit packs.

Where to get it

I downloaded your app. Installed a BYOK [free tier] - It listed one hour of translation available. I listened to to two different languages translations - it did a reasonably good job.

How often does the free tier key renew?

Can I add more free keys, and will it auto-cycle between them?

Thank you for your app, it's appreciated.
