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?

“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, live API-key integration 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. Optional translation using your own API key is billed by the provider under its terms.”

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

You can use the contact form on the official website to prepare or copy a message or open your mail app, then send the email yourself. Include the game, audio setup, languages and reproduction steps.
