Changelog

More accurate Standard AD, live teamwork and SSO

• More accurate Standard AD

  Standard AD now uses a more advanced AI model, with improved description placement and accuracy.

• Faster video processing

  Video processing and rendering are now 20% faster.

• Edit together, live

  See teammates’ changes as they save and who is working on each description. Saving is also more reliable, so a crash or a dropped connection no longer loses your edits.

  Uploading videos and adding long YouTube videos are now more reliable.

• Sign in with SSO

  Your organization can sign in with its own identity provider, such as Microsoft Entra ID. Contact us to set it up.

4-hour videos, YouTube links and slide details

• 4-hour videos, now the default for every team

  By default, all plans now support videos up to 4 hours, up from 2 hours on most plans.

• Add videos from YouTube

  Now you can add your YouTube videos directly using a URL. Direct links to video files and Vimeo download links work too.

• Smarter slide descriptions

  Extended AD now describes slides more accurately and catches more of what they show, for better descriptions and accessibility compliance.

  A faster, more reliable editor, with safer Undo and fewer clashes when teammates edit the same script. You can also hear any description before adding an AI voice.

Meet your new enterprise workspace

ViddyScribe Enterprise has a new interface for creating, reviewing, and managing audio description. A more organized library, a more capable editor, and a shared workspace for your team.

What’s changed

• Review the script before the final output

  Check “Review script before rendering” when you create AD Video or AD Audio. ViddyScribe prepares the script and waits for you. Edit the text and timing, add missing descriptions, fix pronunciations, and listen in the selected voice. Then create the output from your reviewed script. The total price stays the same.

• A library built around your work

  Organize videos into folders and keep scripts, audio, captions, and finished videos together. Search finds a video by its name, language, or AD type.

• One place for every version of a video

  Standard AD, Extended AD, and every language sit under the same video. Switch between them from the video’s panel instead of hunting through a long list.

• All your languages, ready to use

  Every supported language and regional variant is available when you create a generation, with 26 new options at launch, including Filipino, Malay, Persian, Icelandic, and Haitian Creole.

• Video, script, and timeline in one view

  Review descriptions as the video plays. Edit the words, adjust the timing, and check how the narration fits before creating your final output.

• Pronunciations you control

  Tell the voice how to say names and technical terms, for one video or across your whole library. Update the speech and listen again without rendering a new video.

• Pick up where you left off

  Return to a saved working draft, let a teammate continue the review, and save versions when you reach a milestone.

• Your team’s settings, ready to reuse

  Save generation settings as a preset for future videos. Keep it private or share it with your team so everyone can start with the same setup.

• Seat management

  See how many seats your team is using, invite teammates, and manage roles from your team settings.

• Faster everywhere

  The library, editor, and settings load faster, and moving between them feels close to instant.

• Even more attention to accessibility

  Accessibility has always been part of ViddyScribe. The new workspace takes it further, with more care for keyboard use, screen reader labels, and clear focus states on every page.
