Early Access Software

Get involved with this software as it develops.

Note: This Early Access software is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to use this software in its current state, then you should wait to see if it progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Onmal will begin as a free public alpha. Feedback from different Windows PCs is needed to improve recognition, translation, subtitle usability and game performance.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We currently expect approximately 6-12 months after the Early Access launch. This is an estimate, not a fixed release date; accuracy, stability and player feedback may change the schedule.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to improve recognition, translation quality, stability and resource use, validate more language pairs, and expand voice support where the recognition engine supports it. Experimental model packs and language variants may change during Early Access. We will decide the transition to the full 1.0 version separately based on testing and user feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Windows Playtest 0.0.8 — default Build 26239789

The Windows default branch of Onmal Playtest (5456700) uses 0.0.8 Build 26239789. test-0-0-1 retains 0.0.7 Build 26218610. Main app 5060050 remains unreleased.

The 5 gallery images and first video show the actual Mac 0.0.8 development app. The first video is a 24-second still-screen guide with Korean synthetic narration, not a live demonstration of interpretation, app audio or calls. The separate concept video is not a demonstration of working features.

Mac images do not establish Windows runtime validation or Mac installation availability through Steam. Actual Windows execution, audio and real-model inference, two-PC calls, game FPS and real-time latency remain unverified. The additional local changes under review are not included in this public Playtest build.

Previous 0.0.7 record — original information from that time follows

References to ‘current’, ‘this update’, and earlier gallery or video descriptions below refer to the state at version 0.0.7. Use the information above for the current branches, gallery and first video.

0.0.7 UI update — Build 26218610

Applied to the default and test-0-0-1 branches of Onmal Playtest. Voice-room translation captions now appear in the central interpretation view, and the duplicate caption list in the call window has been removed.

In the detailed subtitle settings, choose the position-move option. Hold the left mouse button on the small editing area, drag, then release to save and lock the position. Press Esc to cancel, or use the position-reset option.

The highest model quality and local processing path are unchanged. Actual Windows UI and dragging, two-PC calls, game FPS, and real-time latency in the highest mode have not yet been validated. This is not the main product’s full release.

Onmal Playtest 0.0.7
Default build: 26218610

Onmal is a game-translation app under development. This Playtest focuses on basic local Korean/English captions and interpretation, a simple preparation and diagnostics flow, and optional Steam friends, rooms and group voice. Joining a room does not turn on your microphone; voice transmission requires your explicit consent and activation.

This update improves audio-output shutdown and resource cleanup after participants join or leave. The highest quality setting keeps large-v3 and the accuracy setting. The existing model pack and default male/female AI voices remain. Required model terms still apply.

Current verification limits
This Windows build was cross-compiled on a Mac and underwent automated checks. This artifact has not been run on Windows. Calls between 2 PCs, performance with 250 participants and game FPS are unverified. Caption latency, broader language support and Steam Cloud remain incomplete. This test does not establish that models or recognition/translation accuracy have been fully validated, or that every language is supported.

This is a Playtest update, not the main product release. Do not share passwords, API keys, personal information or recordings of other people.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Onmal is free during Early Access. We plan to keep the core app free in the full version, without usage limits.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Please use the Support Contact Info on Steam for questions, feedback and bug reports. Include the game, audio setup, languages and reproduction steps. Share only redacted details; never post passwords, API keys or private voice recordings. Feedback will guide fixes and priorities. The Tester role indicates interest in test updates and does not grant Steam app or Playtest access.”

About This Software

Windows Playtest 0.0.8 — default Build 26239789


Onmal Playtest 5456700 now uses 0.0.8 Build 26239789 on its Windows default branch. test-0-0-1 retains 0.0.7 Build 26218610. Main app 5060050 remains unreleased. A macOS 15+ universal2 package containing Apple Silicon and Intel binaries has been uploaded, but Mac installation and launch through Steam are not yet offered.

Version 0.0.8 passed 2,606 automated regression checks, 368 Swift support checks, and both platform build/package checks. These do not establish actual Windows or Intel Mac execution, audio or model inference, two-PC calls, game FPS or real-time latency. Clean Steam installs, updates, user-data recovery, Mac notarization and Gatekeeper distribution checks have not been verified.

Version 0.0.8 includes 31 UI localization files. Of 103 language-selection rows, model mappings cover 83 speech-recognition inputs, 81 translation outputs and 74 rows usable in both directions; the remaining rows are disabled. These counts include regional labels and shared models, not independent dialect models or validated translation quality. Shared bundled voices cover Korean and English, male and female. Mac parity with Windows system voices and speech-rate options remains incomplete.

The gallery and first trailer use actual views of the Mac 0.0.8 development app. They do not establish Windows runtime validation or Mac availability through Steam. The first video is a 24-second still-screen guide with Korean synthetic narration, not a live demonstration of interpretation, app audio or calls. Its public 0.0.7/uploaded-candidate 0.0.8 labels reflect production before the default-branch switch.

Previous 0.0.7 record — original information from that time follows

References to "current", "this update", earlier images and concept videos in the original text below describe the state at version 0.0.7. Use the information above for the current branch status, new gallery and first trailer.

Developer notice
Onmal is an independent project developed and maintained by a solo developer. I also have public-service responsibilities, so replies and updates may take longer. This is a personal project, not an official public-sector initiative. Thank you for your patience.

Questions and bug reports
For questions and bug reports, please use the Support Contact Info on Steam. Do not attach personal information, passwords, API keys, raw audio or full conversations.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Onmal generates subtitles at runtime using AI models that run entirely on the user's PC (Whisper speech recognition, Opus-MT machine translation). All live generation is local; no audio or text is sent to the developer (text is sent to a third-party provider only if the user enters their own API key). Pre-generated content: 29 of the app's 31 interface translations were produced with AI (Korean and English are human-written); the app labels them as awaiting review.

System Requirements

    Minimum:
    • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
    • OS: Windows 11 64-bit
    • Processor: 4-core x64 CPU with AVX, AVX2, FMA and F16C
    • Memory: 8 GB RAM
    • Graphics: Integrated graphics supported. A dedicated GPU is optional.
    • Storage: 6 GB available space
    • Additional Notes: Provisional minimum specification to be validated before release. Concurrent game performance on a 4-core, 8GB PC has not yet been verified. The bundled Playtest package is about 4.4GB; allow 6GB for installation and additional temporary space for Steam updates or optional model packs. Default Korean-English processing is local. Use windowed or borderless mode for game subtitles. Visual C++ 2022 Runtime is required.
    Recommended:
    • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
    • OS: A currently supported Windows 11 64-bit release, fully updated
    • Processor: 6-core or better x64 CPU with AVX, AVX2, FMA and F16C
    • Memory: 32 GB RAM
    • Graphics: Integrated graphics supported. A Vulkan GPU can provide optional acceleration.
    • Storage: 10 GB available space
    • Additional Notes: For Playtest 0.0.6 Highest mode (large-v3) alongside a game and Discord, 32GB RAM is a provisional headroom recommendation. The approximately 21–24.5GiB observed on a reference PC was whole-PC usage including Windows, the game and Discord, not Onmal alone. This is not a minimum requirement. A 32GB PC has not been tested, and real-time processing or game performance is not guaranteed. The provisional 8GB minimum for basic mode remains subject to testing on lower-end hardware. Allow 10GB free SSD space around the approximately 4.4GB bundled package; Steam updates and additional model packs may need more temporary or permanent space. RTX 4060 8GB is an acceleration reference, not a required GPU or VRAM minimum. Requirements will be finalized after live audio and game tests.
