New features in the Maestra App

You can now generate automatic audio descriptions using Maestra. You can upload a file to the Voiceover Editor, and toggle “Audio description” on. This feature only works with video files.

Audio descriptions will be added to the parts with no speech to prevent overlapping. Therefore, we recommend using files that have enough gaps without speech.

If you already have a transcript and want to sync it with your audio, you can now use the Force Alignment feature in the Subtitle or Voiceover Editor.

To enable it, upload your file and toggle on “Skip automatic transcription.” Then click Upload under “Align with Text (.txt)” and upload your transcript file. Your text will be automatically aligned with the spoken audio.

We have added 2 new ways for you to upload files to Maestra. You can now record audio or capture your screen directly within the app.

These upload options are only available on the desktop version.

You can now use the navigation arrows next to the file name to switch to the next or previous file without leaving the editor. This makes it easier to review multiple files in a row and move between projects faster.

On the Voiceover Editor, you can now see problematic sentences that may cause issues when synthesizing your voiceover. This helps you catch pacing problems like too many characters per second or sentences that are too short. That way, you can adjust timing or update the text before exporting.
