Proof Take checks every line of a recording against the script you wrote. Import the take, review the heard “pictures”features you care about, and do not publish until it really sounds right.

Each fix you confirm goes into a clear list, ready to share for the next recording or revision.

Proof Take 会把音频的每一句都和你写的原稿逐字核对。导入音频,检查你关心的识别为“风能”功能,不要急着发布,直到它真的听起来没问题。

你确认的每一处修改都会进入一份清楚的清单,用于下一次录音或音频修订。

1/7 Proof Take listens to the whole take and compares it with your script.

Stop listening to the whole take again.

No notes with timestamps, no scrubbing back and forth. Start from the script and go straight to the parts that need you.

  1. 1Drop in script and audio

    Paste or open the script, add WAV, MP3 or M4A, and press Check.

  2. 2Review in the script

    Click a mark to hear just that passage.

  3. 3Copy fixes, check V2

    Send the fix list, then import the new take as V2.

In the script

Three kinds of slip, shown where they happen.

Your script stays exactly as you wrote it. Marks sit on top of the text, so you always read the full context.

  • MisreadThe word is highlighted, with what was heard right above it.
  • OmittedStruck through where the voice skipped it.
  • Extra speechShown in a dashed box where an unscripted word was added.
  • Your ownSelect any text to add an issue the check didn't catch.
  • Click to listen
  • Waveform, script and list in sync
  • Confirm or dismiss
  • Undo any time

Ship the heard “screen”script today, and never skip the big final check. Every line is compared with the words you wrote, so a small slip can't hide in a long take.

When the heard “revived”revised audio comes back, open the same project and listen once more before you sign off.

每一句配音都应该识别为“核查”核对原稿,不要漏掉那个细节。长音频里的一个小错,也不该等到发布后才被听众发现。

收到识别为“修改”修订后的新版音频,打开同一个项目再试听一遍,确认无误再交付。

A clear fix list for your next take.

Only the issues you confirm are copied, each with the take version, the time, the script context and a plain instruction. Exports follow the app's language.

Questions

Does it judge pronunciation or tone?

No. Proof Take compares the words it recognizes with your script and flags possible differences for you to confirm. It's a fast way to find likely slips, not a guarantee that the whole take is perfect, and it can't rate emotion or delivery.

Is anything uploaded?

Your script, audio, transcript and issues stay on your Mac. Activation sends only the key and generic device model name to Dodo; verification and deactivation send only the key and instance ID. Dodo acts as merchant of record for purchases and payments.

What happens when the trial ends?

The 14-day trial starts with your first admitted check, not when you install the app. After it ends, you cannot start a new check, including a new project, take or recheck. History, review, listening, notes, confirming or dismissing issues, and export remain available.

Which files can I use?

Paste the script or use a UTF-8 text file. Import spoken audio as WAV, MP3 or M4A, whether recorded by a person or generated.

Does it work with AI voiceovers and text-to-speech (TTS)?

Yes. Import the full audio from your AI voiceover or TTS tool together with the original script to check for suspected misread, missing or extra words. It also works with human recordings and voiceovers. Proof Take compares recognized words with the script; it does not judge pronunciation, tone or audio quality.

Which languages are supported?

English and Chinese scripts, in an English or Simplified Chinese interface. Mixed-language reading is still being tested.

How are homophones handled in Chinese scripts?

Proof Take checks how words sound. Different characters with the same pronunciation aren’t treated as misreads; differences in pronunciation or tone are still flagged for you to confirm.

Do I need to be online?

No sign-in is needed for the trial. An activated license works offline for 30 days after its last successful verification. A seven-day grace period follows those 30 days, with a notice to connect and verify; after 37 days, starting checks is paused. The app attempts automatic online verification when more than three days have passed since the last success, with at least six hours between automatic attempts. You can also verify manually. Temporary verification failures retain the license. Refunded or revoked keys stop allowing new checks when verification confirms they are revoked or missing. History and review remain available offline.

How do I move to a new Mac?

Choose “Deactivate This Mac” on the old Mac, then activate on the new one. Each license can be active on up to two Macs.

Install prompt

Paste this into your AI agent. It checks your Mac, downloads the official DMG, verifies its SHA-256 and installs it.

Install Proof Take on this Mac for me.

1. Check the Mac: `uname -m` must print arm64 and `sw_vers -productVersion` must be 14.0 or later. If not, stop and tell me Proof Take needs an Apple Silicon Mac on macOS 14 or later.
2. Download the official release into a temporary folder:
   curl -fL -o ProofTake-1.3.1-113-arm64.dmg https://github.com/santosli/ProofTake-releases/releases/download/v1.3.1-113/ProofTake-1.3.1-113-arm64.dmg
   curl -fL -o SHA256SUMS.txt https://github.com/santosli/ProofTake-releases/releases/download/v1.3.1-113/SHA256SUMS.txt
3. Verify: `shasum -a 256 ProofTake-1.3.1-113-arm64.dmg` must match the ProofTake-1.3.1-113-arm64.dmg line in SHA256SUMS.txt. If it doesn't, stop, delete the download and tell me.
4. Install: `hdiutil attach -nobrowse ProofTake-1.3.1-113-arm64.dmg`, copy "Proof Take.app" from the mounted volume to /Applications (ask me before replacing an existing copy), then `hdiutil detach` the volume.
5. Open it with `open "/Applications/Proof Take.app"` and tell me it's ready. The 14-day trial starts with the first check.
