New NVSpeech Update where I tried to rework the phonemes so they sound less sharp especially at sample rates above 11025, and probably failed. Everyone will hate it. But let's see.

Letters like "F" sound less like "clentched teeth" and I do think personally that it has made a difference, but all of this has taught me that everyone's ears are different and someone who thinks a sound is clentched teeth another will think it's not. So Sigh.
New settings added. Graduated Coarticulation, boundary smoothing between sounds, and Enable formant trajectory rate limiting. All of these have edit fields to customize, and they are all off by default.
If you hate the new phoneme table, you can always get V15 (change the link) and still have it. I might get a revolt after this one.

I think I'm prone to over-thinking/over-analyzing potential life choices sometimes.
Maybe I could do A, and then X can happen, or I could instead do B, and then Y can happen, but it is hard to know exactly how the future will play out, and, ultimately, either choice would be okay.
It isn't good to act without thinking, but going to the other extreme can also be detrimental.

"A dildo rolled across the pavement like a wounded soldier while tear gas fogged the street. Someone picked one up and held it aloft like a freedom torch while coughing their lungs out." A must read.

THE DILDO DISTRIBUTION DELEGATION

The revolution did not arrive with speeches, pamphlets, or a carefully moderated Zoom call about optics.
