--Apple ID login now available. --Browser extension is faster: Reduced the delay between adding documents and processing starting. Some updates may not be available on iOS until Apple approves our latest app build, which has been under review for longer than expected.

New updates! Google Drive integration (web only): Add a document directly from your Google Drive. Search added to document text: You can now search within the document or transcript that you are listening to.

--Improved the “share document” process: Shared documents are no longer automatically added to your queue but instead give you the option to add to your queue. --Better EPUB processing, including creating more accurate tables of contents and fixing problems with missing chapters.

Faster overall document processing: About 10-20% faster processing for documents, (varies but complicated non-fiction PDFs will benefit most).

Accuracy improvements! We’ve rolled out significant updates to our processing engine to ensure higher accuracy and smarter interpretation of your documents:

More accurate Roman numeral processing: Major changes to overhaul detection and processing for Roman numerals so that they are pronounced correctly (there may still be issues with I and X since those characters often appear on their own in other non-Roman numeral contexts)

Overhaul to citation processing: Complete update to our citation system, including changes to better distinguish between citations within a sentence vs. not. In-sentence citations that would break a sentence are not removed.

Improved math detection and summaries: Better detection accuracy of math elements within documents so that non-math items are not incorrectly summarized.

Better image and figure labeling and summaries: Significantly improved the detection and extraction of tables, figures and images, reduced repetitive summaries for the same figure or table, and improved summary accuracy in cases where an item has multiple subobjects.

Bug fixes and UI improvements, including: --Accuracy improvements for document processing (more about this in a post later) --Added a “seek” button to PDF view: Click on the PDF page, then click the “play from page” button and the audio will jump to reading the top of that page.
