Daminion 10.5: Transcribe Video, Detect Faces in Profile, Work Faster

Smarter face recognition, searchable transcripts for audio & video, faster imports, and more control over AI descriptions.

Managing large media collections means dealing with imperfect tools: faces missed in photos, hours wasted rewatching recordings, or manual folder imports that take too long. Daminion 10.5 tackles these challenges with practical improvements that make everyday work easier.

Face Recognition That Sees More

The face recognition engine in Daminion is now much better at handling real-world scenarios:

• Profiles and three-quarter views are now detected more reliably.
• Improved recognition across a wide variety of facial features — for more reliable results in diverse photo collections.
• The new “Redetect Faces with Scaling” option can find very small faces in group photos or distant shots. (Requires up to 8 GB RAM.)
  

Together, these changes mean fewer missed tags and less manual correction when organizing people across your photo archive.

Faster Web Imports and File Management

Bringing new files into your catalog is now more flexible and efficient:

• Import entire folders with their subfolder structure intact.
• Use “Select All with exclusions” to skip unwanted files in bulk.
• Enjoy a faster, more responsive interface thanks to under-the-hood optimizations.

For large projects, this can save minutes on every import and hours over time.

Audio & Video Transcription

Working with recordings is now easier than ever:

• Automatic transcription for audio and video files.
• Visualized transcripts for quick scanning.
• Search inside transcripts and jump directly to the right moment in the media.

Instead of scrubbing through hours of footage, you can find the exact quote or section you need in seconds.

More Flexible AI Tools

AI in Daminion now adapts more closely to your needs:

• OpenAI Whisper integration for highly accurate speech-to-text.
• Local AI server support (LM Studio and other OpenAI-compatible tools) for full privacy and offline use.
  Note: available upon request — please contact our team to learn more about locally deployed AI auto-tagging.
• Custom AI prompts so auto-generated descriptions follow your team’s style and terminology. You can learn more about this feature here.
• Speed Optimization: Up to five images can now be processed simultaneously, making results arrive much faster.

Whether you value accuracy, confidentiality, or customization, Daminion 10.5 gives you more control over how AI works for you.
