New: Subtitles from sound writes subtitles from what a video plays when it has no captions, on Chrome and Edge, with the speech model on your computer.
Improved: Free writes 30 minutes of subtitles from sound on any video; the minutes left always show, and Pro has no limit.
New: Chrome and Edge ask for the offscreen permission, which runs the speech model in a hidden page of the extension.

Update to 1.9.0: the add-on name and summary now come from _locales (English plus Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian and Japanese) through MSG_extName and MSG_extDescription. No change to the add-on code, permissions or network requests since 1.8.5.

After a reinstall, the trial this browser already had comes back, running or ended, instead of a new trial offer.
On Firefox, the trial needs the technical data permission, so it stays with the browser through a reinstall.

A theme you choose, on its pages and on websites
New: Theme under Display: Auto, Dark or Light, for Twinread's pages and the card on websites.
Improved: The screens carry no instructions, and translations keep their red italic.

1-month pass, and backups that keep your edits
New: A 1-month pass, next to 6 months, 12 months and Pro forever.
New: The launch code for the 1-month and 6-month passes shows on the upgrade view and is copied when you pick one of them.
Improved: Screens say less: labels and short facts replace instructions.
Fixed: Restoring a backup keeps a translation you edited.
Fixed: Saving a page copy shows its own Pro line, and a copy that could not be confirmed asks you to try again.
Fixed: Focus stays on the review card after grading, and settings show a loading line until they are read.

The model download button has one name on every page: Start translating.
The status pill finds a free corner on pages where it used to sit over a page element.
Copying a selection keeps only the attributes a page element needs.
The upgrade view copies each launch code only on the passes it applies to, so checkout no longer refuses it.

Improved: Twinread Pro passes can be bought again.
Fixed: Translation-only mode reads the translation once in a screen reader, and headings and live regions keep both languages.
Fixed: A deleted model stays deleted, deleting one asks first, and a cut download is kept for ten minutes and not at all when cancelled.
New: Settings lists the stored models, and a Firefox model download resumes after a cut.
