CrossMeet v1.0.0 · First stable release

CrossMeet 1.0 is here

After six months of internal development, CrossMeet 1.0 stable ships today. This is our first answer to the question "what should real-time translation actually feel like?"

Core capabilities

• Bidirectional simul-interpret — mic + system audio drive independent ASR pipelines; left/right panels separate automatically; turn-taking is instant
• Hybrid local + cloud ASR — Whisper-faster (GPU/CPU local), Whisper API, Aliyun DashScope, Qwen3-ASR — pick per scenario
• 30+ languages, any pair — Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Vietnamese, Thai, Turkish, Polish, and more. Auto-detect + manual lock.
• Glossary management — brand names, person names, technical terms across three categories with per-meeting group activation
• Knowledge base RAG — upload PDFs / DOCX, vector retrieval injects context into prompts so the LLM speaks your business
• Virtual microphone (vMic) — TTS routes through a virtual mic device. Zoom / Teams / Discord receive native voice
• Compose Bar (simul-interpret) — type in your language, watch live translation preview, manually correct, then send (text + TTS together)
• Quick phrases — preset common phrases with one-click send + TTS playback
• History & smart export — every session auto-recorded; search, re-translate, AI summary, Markdown / PDF / DOCX export
• LAN API sharing — expose local engines (ASR / TTS / LLM) as OpenAI-compatible APIs to LAN devices
• Cloud platform presets — OpenAI, Anthropic, Aliyun, DeepSeek, SiliconFlow, Ollama, Gemini

Engineering principles

• Two iron rules — ASR source text always arrives before translation; LLM calls never block ASR output
• Minimal first install — ~80 MB installer; cloud-only users get a ~100 MB core dependency download — no GPU or multi-GB models needed
• Hardware gating + opt-in — local features auto-disable when no NVIDIA GPU is detected; local models install on demand
• Privacy-first — local-mode audio never leaves your machine; cloud requests go direct to provider, CrossMeet never proxies content
• License v2 multi-device binding — Stripe / Alipay / WeChat Pay; 2–5 device slots, hot-swappable

Known limitations

• Windows SmartScreen may show a "Windows protected your PC" warning on first install — click "More info → Run anyway"
• Local Whisper-faster recommends 6 GB+ NVIDIA VRAM; users without a GPU can rely on cloud APIs
• macOS / Linux clients planned for 2026 Q3 / Q4 respectively
