 - **🔒 Fully Local** - All processing happens on your machine - no data sent to external servers
 - **📱 Multi-User Support** - Handle multiple users simultaneously with a single backend/server
+- **📝 Punctuation-Based Speaker Splitting [BETA] ** - Align speaker changes with natural sentence boundaries for more readable transcripts
