If you still see permission errors:
1) Make sure the output path is under your user directory — avoid read-only disks or restricted folders.
2) Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Files and Folders, and confirm GeekLink has access.
3) If the file is on an external drive or cloud-synced folder, copy it to a local directory first.
4) Quit and relaunch GeekLink, then try again.

Speech recognition and subtitle recognition require internet on first use to download models, then both work offline. AI translation (DeepSeek) requires internet.

You can click "Check for updates" in the top-right corner of the app, then choose "Update & Restart".
If macOS shows a permission prompt, click "Allow" first.
Only if automatic installation still does not finish should you open the DMG that was already downloaded (or re-download the latest DMG from the official website) and drag the new version into Applications to replace the old one.
