TGSpeechBox v2.80 is here after quite some testing!
DSP v7 brings per-formant transition control. Formant frequencies now move independently of amplitude during transitions, meaning smoother consonant-to-vowel movement without the mushiness that usually comes with longer crossfades.
The new allophone rule engine lets language packs define phonological rules entirely in YAML, like intervocalic flapping, dark L, unreleased stops, and more. No C++ needed. Just add rules and the engine handles position, stress, and neighbor context automatically.
Special coarticulation gives vowels natural coloring from surrounding consonants - rhotic F3 lowering for American R, labial rounding, alveolar fronting. Small shifts that add up to noticeably more natural speech.
The Fujisaki pitch model has been rewritten with exponential declination. Long sentences no longer hit an awkward pitch floor mid-utterance.
New platform: Linux AARCH64 for Raspberry Pi and ARM64 machines!
NVDA driver fixes race conditions that could randomly interrupt speech. The tgSBPhonemeEditor now supports editing allophone and coarticulation rules directly in the GUI, not the add-on yet.
To those who found the prior SpeechBox too sibilant, Cluster Timing rules enabled on English languages should help this, along with allophone rules. To those who find it too soft now, remove them from your pack and test.

@Lino0876 yeah, all versions from 2023.2 to and 2026.1 are supported, I run it through each installer before releasing to make sure we can work on both types at the same time and nothing broke.
Haha and yeah, same thought LOL! -
