Talk For Me - Text to Speech

Minor bug fixes Version 3.4: All Voices - All Languages iPhone Duo Support • Foldable Device Optimization: All views strictly adhere to Safe Area Layout Guides, guaranteeing a flawless, properly proportioned interface on the iPhone Duo. • Dynamic Resizing: When unfolded, the app beautifully expands to fill the inner screen. In split-view, it dynamically transitions to keep the dock perfectly positioned whether placed on the left or right side. New Voice Engine • Full Device Sync: No more limited voice choices—all system voices are now available! Tap the voice selector to instantly search and use any voice currently installed on your device. • Download More Voices: Missing a voice? Go to your device's Settings > Accessibility > Read & Speak > Voices to download new options, and they will immediately become available in the app. • Personal Voice Support: After granting permission, any custom Personal Voices you have created will automatically appear under the name you assigned them. Yes, all your Personal Voices are fully supported! • Natural Speech Cadence: Fine-tuned the text-to-speech engine by normalizing the pause delays after commas and periods, resulting in a significantly more natural, conversational rhythm. • Failsafe Voice Fallback: If the operating system temporarily loses track of a voice asset or a specific identifier cannot be located, the speech engine now intercepts the error and seamlessly defaults to "Samantha" to ensure playback never fails silently. Note: We highly recommend using Enhanced/Premium Apple voices or your own Personal Voice for the best audio performance. Alternate Speech Rate Slider • In addition to the slider in Data & Settings, you can now visualize and adjust your current speech rate directly from the Voice Selector button. Favorite Voices • Your list of favorite voices is now automatically organized in alphabetical order for faster selection. UI, Input & Accessibility Enhancements • Universal Placeholder Clearing: The "Type text here..." text now reliably vanishes the moment you interact with the text box across all devices, whether you are tapping the screen, clicking on a Mac, or typing with a physical iPad keyboard. • SayIt Button Tooltip: Hovering a mouse or trackpad pointer over the main SayIt button will now reveal a native "Speak Phrase" tooltip to clarify the action on Mac and iPad. • Floating Pause Button Blur: A subtle frosted glass effect now sits directly behind the Pause button to help it stand out. Try scrolling the custom button grid to see the Pause button dynamically absorb and reflect the colors sliding beneath it! • Unified Navigation: Added a standard Navigation Bar to the Icon Picker screen, perfectly aligning the Close button placement with the rest of the app's views for a consistent user experience. • Dynamic Scroll Assist: Introduced a smart Scroll Assist Button to the Icon Picker. This intelligent navigation tool dynamically appears only when required by compact screens (such as the iPhone Duo), ensuring effortless scrolling while remaining cleanly hidden on larger displays. • Library Symbol: The Library Button is now a symbol. Using "Designed for iPad" on macOS • To ensure optimal stability, system voice options on the Mac are curated to Alex and Samantha. • You can now seamlessly use any Personal Voices you have created on your iOS devices and synced via iCloud directly on your Mac. • Mac users can still perform a "long press" to configure custom buttons by using Control + Click or a two-finger tap on the trackpad.
