Where AI runs

The Captions from speech and Remove background sheets have a new Where AI runs row:

  • On device · free — your phone, tablet or Mac recognizes speech and separates the person from the background with Apple's models;
  • In the cloud · price — an AI service at cost, as before.

The result is the same: word-by-word captions on the clips, the person on a blurred frame or a colored background. Progress shows above the preview — Recognizing speech on the device or Separating the person from the background with a percentage. If it fails on the device, the sheet opens again — try again or pick the cloud.

The preselected option comes from the new Profile → Where AI runs card. The device handles videos uploaded from it, and the language has to be set — Detect is cloud-only. On the web AI runs in the cloud, and the device option is labeled In the app.

In the project history such work is marked on the device.
