Wellp, I tried to fix "google" "poodle" and "fable" and "able" to sound good, as well as "good" and "book", but probably will need more tuning. Just too tired to tune it, but the rules are there for those who are now wanting to and don't like how they sound. eurpod.com/synths/nvSpeechPlay…
I went back all the way to the 2025-v3 add-on to compare it too, and aside from "player" having that "ay" sound now in the newer version, things sound quite identical. Words like same, faded too. None of these will contaminate other languages as phonetic variations are mapped for each language too.
I also had people point out how pause mode short and long were not nuanced enough. Well, now they really are, but I made sure to not make "short" very different, it's mostly "long" that's longer now. I'm sure now people will say "short is too long!" but it was melding words together in some languages being that short, so now it's at a reasonable length, "short" is about the pauses that Eloquence has when pauses is set to "shorten all pauses" and "long" is when you have it on "do not shorten." At least, that was more of the approximation used.
