The SIL Transcriber development team is pleased to announce the Winter 2020 release. The goal of this release was to change the Desktop Extension into a Desktop App. The idea is that users should not need to use the web app and the desktop app but can just use the desktop app for creating projects and teams. Then they can go offline and work with the same app. Then when they are ready they can go online and sync the work with the online project using the desktop app. These changes are available on the full-featured web edition and the desktop app.
