Introduction

This release brings enhancements across Accent Translation, Language Translation, the Sanas Portal, and the Sanas Chrome Extension. The focus areas include improved communication clarity, simplified setup and administration, optimized performance, and a more seamless user experience through smarter automation, enhanced audio controls, and expanded accessibility features.

What’s New

Inbound Accent Translation: Real-time translation of incoming audio accents to improve comprehension. Inbound Accent Translation can be used independently or alongside Outbound Accent Translation.
Sanas now automatically applies the optimal voice-isolation mode based on the connected headset:
- Wired USB headsets → Near-field mode
- Bluetooth or other devices → General mode
Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC): Automatically eliminates echoed audio during conversations by preventing speaker output from being picked up by the microphone. AEC activates when both Sanas Microphone and Sanas Speaker are used in the same conferencing app. No manual configuration is required.
Smart Microphone & Speaker Activation: Reduces resource usage by automatically pausing Sanas audio pipelines when no application is connected to the virtual microphone or speaker. Pipelines resume when needed, and model inference only runs during active audio sessions. Behavior is controlled through the Stream Control setting in the Sanas Portal.
Users can now mute the Sanas Virtual Speaker directly from the operating system's volume mixer.
- Mute behavior is configured by admins in portal settings.
- Disabled by default.
- The speaker automatically unmutes when the setting is turned off.
Volume Sync Behaviour: Admins can independently control volume adjustment and synchronization for the Sanas Virtual Microphone and Speaker devices, with settings managed through the Sanas Portal. And the available modes:
- Locked 100% volume — volume is fixed and cannot be adjusted by users.
- Flexible user-controlled volume — users can freely adjust volume levels.
- Bidirectional sync — volume and mute state stay in sync with the underlying physical device.

Language Translation

Audio Crossfade: Smoothly lowers the original speaker's audio as translated speech begins, keeping the speaker faintly audible rather than cutting them off abruptly. This reduces perceived latency, maintains speaker awareness, and keeps translated speech clear.
Auto Mode: Automatically detects the speaker's language after a short period of speech and updates translation settings accordingly. Once a language is identified, it remains active until Language Translation is turned off and back on to reset detection.
Latency Metrics Display: Provides precise, per-utterance latency measurements — useful for debugging, demos, and POC testing. Disabled by default to avoid distraction during normal operation.
