Release notes: version 0.1.8
This version includes a couple of user interface changes and significant backend updates to make sure transcription jobs and credit updates are handled robustly
This includes:
- Realtime credit counter: Previously, the credit counter in the user profile section didn’t always update without a page refresh. A new credit counter is now in the navigation bar, which will update in realtime as transcriptions jobs are submitted (so long as they’re not done in another browser window). Hovering your mouse over it will give more details about the credit breakdown, and clicking on it will access the subscriptions panel.
- Credit escrow system: A reliable system for putting credits in escrow when transcriptions are submitted, and returning them for failed transcription jobs (which should be rare!)
- Skip placeholder images when transcribing: If an upload fails, it ends up in a “placeholder” state, where the image appears in the list but has no associated file. In this case, selecting and transcribing all images would raise an error due to the presence of a placeholder image. Now, placeholders are automatically excluded from transcription jobs.
- Performance/reliability improvements: Several backend improvements to improve system performance and reliability
