OK. Final file of the night, then I'm jumping in the hot tub, away from computer, all that fun stuff.
NV Speech Player V11:
Fixes many many bugs:
- Whispery in non-English languages because of YAML handling
- The number 9 and number 5 for US English.
- Fixes level (all English languages)
- DLL adds: stopClosureClusterGapMs, segmentBoundaryGapMs, segmentBoundaryFadeMs, which can be tweaked per language.
- Fix UK words like World to sound UK. More UK tweaks can always be made in the En-GB.yaml file. Enjoy.

remember that the base file, without the V11 suffix, always is the latest version, link: eurpod.com/synths/nvSpeechPlay… so you don't need to redownload each version if your browser is a good boy at not caching downloads by filename.

I'm releasing it. NVSP Phoneme Editor. It's here. This tool lets you edit both phoneme and language data for NV Speech Player languages. It's not perfect, but it also lets you generate a wave file of spoken text. Eventually it'll evolve, give it time. I made sure to label things and focus management stuff too. Just need a break from working on this stuff, been up since 4:30 in the morning doing it. It's now 6 at night. eurpod.com/synths/NVSPPhonemeE…
Note: Espeak is bundled as-is, not recompiled into the project, which is acceptable per GPL3.
Be sure to look at the "settings" menu when starting the program to set your variables in nvspPhonemeEditor.ini at each start.

Zach Bennoui reshared this.

Major readme rewrite at github.com/tgeczy/NVSpeechPlay… - we not only detail how to create and do phonemes, but also, just look at all those language flags you can set in the "Language pack settings reference" section! It's like a playground for language nerds, enjoy.

curl, which is one of the most popular CLI/API tools for network requests and data transfer on Linux/Unix, is to discontinue its HackerOne bug bounty program due to "too strong incentives to find and make up 'problems' in bad faith that cause overload and abuse".

The authors simply cannot keep up with LLM-generated fake security reports created to collect money using bots. So, it now shuts down at the end of January 2026. This is why we can't have good things
