How can I upload audio here so that people can play directly? @Tamasg @Alan @BTyson I have built the old version of the speech player, make it installable in 2025.3.2 and I don't know what I did with claude code, but it sounds like the old one, maybe not before the espeak pitch curve, sincerely I don't know, but to my ear, it's more clearer, I want to show it and possibly get some feedback whether this can be hacked as one of the classic sound in tg player

@Tamasg @Alan @BTyson 2. nveloq (Eloquence-style) - Classic Eloquence-style intonation
Uses smooth formula-based pitch curves from April 2014, Sounds more like classic Eloquence synthesizer
