This release focuses on improvements to "Language" and "Work Analysis". We've significantly expanded the display language (screen language) to 29 languages, making it possible for workers at sites with diverse international teams to view SOPs in languages close to their native tongue. We've also enabled editing features such as element merging in Work Analysis (IE Time Analysis), and enhanced voice control and smart glasses functionality.

① Display language expanded to 29 languages

Previously, some languages did not have complete translations, but we've now expanded the UI language to 29 languages, significantly broadening translation coverage. In addition to Japanese and English, we now provide strong support for languages commonly used at international worksites, including Vietnamese, Nepali, Burmese, Khmer, Indonesian, Tagalog, Thai, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).

• Operate and view in your native language: Both those viewing and creating SOPs can operate the interface in their own language.
• Automatically follows device language: The interface automatically displays in a supported language matching your device (browser or smartphone) language settings.
• Clearer, unified language selection: We've refined the design of the language selection screen to make it easier to choose.

● Supported languages (29): Japanese / English / Vietnamese / Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) / Tagalog / Indonesian / Portuguese / Thai / Burmese / Nepali / Spanish / Korean / Khmer / Malay / Hindi / Tamil / Bengali / Sinhala / Mongolian / Uzbek / French / German / Turkish / Polish / Czech / Hungarian / Slovak / Russian

※We continuously improve translation quality. If you notice any unnatural phrasing, please let us know through "Contact us".

※Please note that supported languages may increase or decrease in the future.

② Work Analysis now supports element merge and other editing

In STEP 4 of Work Analysis (IE Time Analysis), you can now merge broken-down work elements. You can consolidate overly granular elements and review them in units that match actual conditions.

• Combine multiple elements into one: You can merge adjacent elements, and even sections that are far apart in the original video, into a single element.
• Measured values remain unchanged: Merging doesn't change your measurement results (actual measurements through STEP 3). The time for merged elements is calculated as the sum of each section.
• Same intuitive workflow as Cut and Sort: You can now use "Merge" alongside the existing "Cut," "Sort," and "Speed correction" features, giving you finer control to achieve your ideal standard operation.

③ Voice control improvements

We've enhanced voice control in the SOP player.

• Improved recognition of numbers and free input: Voice input for numeric answers and free-text responses to questions is now more accurate.
• Expanded voice command vocabulary: We've added more variations for page navigation and operation commands, making hands-free control easier during tasks that require both hands.

④ Smart glasses enhancements

We've strengthened support for smart glasses (Xreal / MiRZA / Vuzix, etc.). You can now capture question photos using the smart glasses camera (glass capture), and screen interaction responsiveness has been improved.

⑤ Other improvements and bug fixes

• Badge display for pending text-to-speech reviews: You can now see at a glance how many text-to-speech suggestions require review.
• Fixed issue with Team switching: We've resolved a bug that occurred when switching teams.
• Fixed video export error during slow playback in Work Analysis: We've addressed cases where video export failed during slow-motion playback.
• Fixed display issues with Export file and question features: We've corrected the internal labeling of questions in exported files, fixed an issue where questions were being exported on the free plan, addressed bugs when creating from file, and resolved issues with Distribution groups selection.
• Fixed issue with Trial start: We've resolved a bug that occurred during the trial start operation.
