1.4.0 — The Plug-in Speaks For Itself.

• Type any word into the AUv3 and it speaks. The plugin makes the voice itself now, so a word it has never heard comes out spoken instead of spelled letter by letter.

• Make a word in the plugin and it's waiting for you in the app, and the other way round — they keep one shared set of voices, so a word is only ever made once.

• Everything already made stays instant. Only a brand-new word takes a moment, and the display tells you while it works.

1.3.0 — SEQ: The Word Step Sequencer.

• New SEQ mode: put a word on each of 16 steps and hear
them speak on a beat. Type four words, get a robot vocal
loop. Tempo runs 40 to 240, steps land on 1/4, 1/8 or
1/16 notes, and the loop can be any length up to 16.

• Put a single letter on a step instead and it uses the
recorded alphabet voice — so you can spell a word out on
the beat, then say it whole.

• FIT stretches each word to exactly fill its step, so
words speed up and pitch up as you push the tempo.

• The same sequencer is in the AUv3, where it locks to
your DAW's tempo and follows the transport. Two presets
to start from: Robot Chant and Spelling Bee.

1.2.6 — Words, Numbers & Whole Phrases.

• FREE PLAY now speaks more than single words. Tap SPACE and type a whole sentence — it's read back word by word through your chosen voice. The old PHRASE mode is folded right in, so everything lives in one place.

• Numbers and contractions finally talk — type "I have 2 cats" or "don't stop" and you hear exactly that, instead of a dropped number or a spelled-out letter.

• The 1978 LPC voice is cleaner and more even — quiet words are brought up to a consistent level, and the buzz on hard sounds is gone.

Minor bugs fixed!

1.2.4 — All four voices, everywhere.

• The AUv3 plugin now speaks all four voice characters — 1968 ODYSSEY and 1986 join RAW and 1978 LPC in your DAW, with two new factory presets to match. Old presets and automation keep working exactly as before.

• PHRASE never goes silent — a word the voice can't pronounce gets spelled out letter-by-letter instead of muting the whole sentence, and the app now tells you when something can't play.

• New guided tour — first launch walks you through typing and speaking your first word right on the real keypad. Replay it anytime from Settings.
