Tomorrow's my big development talk y'all, I'm gonna stay real quiet and hunker down. Nervous as hell, I hate dev talks. So. No speech player updates, let's give language packs time to change a bit.
I already see a few improvements coming, can't say what, but yeah, this will keep evolving the more folks try it and are honest.
We now restored the UK English sound in this pack very close to the sound it had in the original IPA rules, which were much smaller and sparce in comparison, but I understand how we were contaminating phonemes with each other, which was the huge huge downside before I moved things into the frontend.
Honestly, building that frontend was the best decision I made early. AI would have kept on piling in Python code, specific language variables, and stich me a 300 kilobyte Python file by the end. No no. We are not doing that.
It's funny how real work changes you. I used to be a spaghetti-code type guy, all day I'd just throw my code in a single file. Today I shutter at the idea of zero abstraction. If it's not modularized well, it's not worth reading as code, period, unless it's clean small code. Yes I'm that much of a snob. Gosh. AI will happily spaghetti all day, unless you're Google Gemini, which can (sometimes) do better at helping you abstract it, but you are still the architect, if you don't know coding fundementals, it's hard to use AI to code something not considered "AI slop." -

Now I've got type and style checkers to, well, keep it in check, so it at least will check its own code and refactor it as needed.

Seriously! I love the new add-on. I still can't find the slider you mentioned though to make the frame sliders appear again. I'm looking in the actual speech settings within NVDA.

I've been in the dark for a while; Life's gotten in the way; Especially after not one, but two, Dell reformat+reset comboes; But one thin pulled me through: the 256-gb microSD card from my stepmother for Christmas with a backup copy of my profile files - and, some 'little' scripts (.bat/.cmd/.ps1) to do some housekeeping after the resets, and - after the second reset, decided I'd had enough with modern #DCH #Declaritive Componentized Hardware) drivers! My first legacy drop in #TestMode : Realtek R2.82 - the old-school HDA audio driver that truly knows how to behave on a modern machine! Don't worry, graphics and touch pad; You're not too far off from getting your legacy love taps (why they may even lighten system resources on my side too)! #NVDA feels insanely snappy on the #R282 driver, complete with the Environment, Voice Cancellation, Equalizer and Loudness Equalization enhancements - that actually - work? Generic, Room, Bathroom, ... - on the RealTek side - let's so go!
