1. Offline Transcription Stability

Unlike newer versions that may require constant cloud pinging for certain advanced features, v2.1.6 was optimized for local processing. This is critical for editors working on secure projects (e.g., NDAs) or in locations with poor internet connectivity. The AI models for English (US/UK), Spanish, French, German, and Japanese were fully downloadable and ran locally. Note: There is often confusion in version numbering
