TGSpeechBox 3.0 is out. After seven betas, two release candidates, and more commits than I care to count — I'm calling it done.
I've been building this synthesizer for 5 months now, and 3.0 is the first release where I feel like it's genuinely a different piece of software from what came before. If you put 2.99 and 3.0 side by side, the difference isn't subtle. The vowels, the diphthongs, the stops, the prosody, the way connected speech actually flows, it's night and day. The Fujisaki pitch model not being a mechanical bull, the diphthong collapse system, the dictionary system fully done, the prominence and multiple-pitch pass pipeline. All of it came together in this cycle.
Every platform got real work. Linux is a first-class citizen now! A native Speech Dispatcher module, proper installer, PipeWire and ALSA auto-detection. No more pipes, no more shimmer. Android is on Google Play. iOS and macOS are on the App Store. Windows SAPI has a full settings UI. The pronunciation dictionary system ships on all of them.
None of this happened alone. This release belongs to the testers, the issue reporters, the dictionary contributors, and everyone who sent feedback across the betas. You shaped it.
3.0 is a milestone. I hope you hear it.

@Tamasg Congratulations. This is major.
@ppatel ha thanks! I did say a week for the RC and sort of feature freeze stage, and was able to keep by that promise!
Then I saw this 72-hour window where no new issues kept dripping in, which is generally a good sign people are happy with the place it is at. Once the big issue 72 Linux stuff sorted out and I realized I needed our own proper speech-dispatcher module, that was it.
I also now have local testbeds for ARMV64 and X86 Linux distros so doing any kind of debugging on all of them is easy! Huge win! Proper workbench for engineering. Android on Windows, Linux on Pi and 2 VMs, M4 Mac for XCode. I plan to really look into learning more test-driven development because I practice it a lot at work and there's a lot of language-specific edge cases testing would help me catch, so getting better and doing more TDD post-3.0 is on the books for sure.
@Tamasg @ppatel It's a great synth.
