Latest update. Fixed a rare issue where incomplete speech could be replayed from the temporary cache.
Google TTS For NVDA now only stores short speech audio after the full utterance has completed successfully. This helps prevent rare cases where a long-running browser runtime or interrupted speech could leave partial audio in the cache and replay it later as a complete phrase. 🌐 From ATBI.

Add-on Update: Google TTS For NVDA v0.5.5. We are excited to share the latest version of this add-on which brings familiar Google text-to-speech voices to NVDA on Windows, offering an experience similar to Android screen readers. Key features include high-quality natural voices that work locally on your computer without needing a constant internet connection, as it utilizes a supported Chromium-based browser in the background. The version 0.5.5 brings significant improvements for everyday comfort. It now offers faster speech responses for long texts and interface messages, and provides steadier speech by improving how it recovers if the background browser gets stuck. We have also balanced the Google Natural volume to match Chrome OS voices more closely, reducing the need for manual adjustments. Automatic language profile matching is now much smarter and more consistent, supporting many languages including Chinese, Arabic, and more. Safety is also enhanced, as the add-on is now more careful not to save broken or interrupted audio. Additionally, the settings category is clearer and more consistent, and Windows language-detection files have been refreshed to improve compatibility. Install this version for a smoother, faster, and more reliable screen reading experience. Help: @ATBI_TeamAdmin_Support_bot. Computer Channel: @TeamATBI_Computer. Main Channel: @TeamATBI_Channel.
