Ships the Capture release end to end. Global-hotkey dictation with
synthetic paste into the focused app on macOS and Windows, an on-screen
pill across recording / transcribing / refining, customizable push-to-
talk and toggle chords, and an accessibility-permission prompt scoped to
Settings → Captures with inline re-check feedback.
Voice profiles gain optional personalities that power compose / rewrite /
respond actions via a local Qwen3 LLM — shared with refinement, so there
is one local LLM in the app, not two.
Refinement hardened with deterministic Whisper-loop collapse before the
LLM sees the transcript, per-capture flag snapshots for re-runs, and a
ten-transcript evaluation harness across every bundled refinement size.
Version bump 0.4.5 → 0.5.0.

* feat(i18n): add i18next foundation with English + zh-CN locales
Installs i18next + react-i18next + language detector and wires up a
language selector in the General settings page. Extracts strings from
the highest-visibility surfaces: all settings tabs, model management,
sidebar nav, main editor, and the floating generate box. Remaining
strings (profile forms, history, stories/effects/voices/audio tabs)
can land in follow-up PRs.
Closes#411.

* fix(i18n): ensure language switch actually re-renders the tree
- `nonExplicitSupportedLngs: true` was normalizing `zh-CN` → `zh` in
some code paths; since we have explicit `zh-CN` resources, swap it
for `load: 'currentOnly'` which keeps the code as-is.
- `react: { useSuspense: false }` — react-i18next v17 defaults Suspense
on, which can silently suspend components mid-switch and look like
"nothing happens" to the user.
- Use `i18n.language` (the raw current code) instead of
`resolvedLanguage` in the selector so the dropdown always mirrors
what we just set.

* feat(i18n): localize ProfileCard, HistoryTable, and relative dates
- ProfileCard: "No description", "designed" badge, aria-labels, and
delete dialog.
- HistoryTable: delete / clear-failed / import / effects dialogs.
- formatDate: switch date-fns `formatDistance` locale based on
`i18n.language` so "5 minutes ago" becomes "5 分钟前" under zh-CN.
HistoryTable now subscribes via useTranslation so the table
re-renders when language flips.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* feat(i18n): localize Stories tab (list, content, dialogs, toasts)
Covers the title + "New Story" button, empty states, story row
metadata (item count, updated time), the create/edit/delete dialogs,
and all toast notifications. Also handles StoryContent: "Select a
story" placeholder, search popover, "Export Audio" button, and the
"Generating N audios" pending indicator.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* feat(i18n): localize history item and story item dropdown menus
Covers the "..." action menu on both the History table (Play, Export
Audio, Export Package, Apply Effects, Regenerate, Delete) and on
individual story chat items (Play from here, Remove from Story).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* feat(i18n): localize Effects tab (list, detail, dialogs, toasts)
Covers EffectsList (title, "New Preset", section headers, preset
cards) and EffectsDetail (header buttons for Save / Save as Custom /
Delete, name/description fields, preview section, Save as Custom
dialog, all toasts).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* feat(i18n): localize EffectsChainEditor and built-in preset names
- Effect type labels (Chorus/Flanger, Reverb, Delay, Compressor, Gain,
High-Pass, Low-Pass, Pitch Shift) and every param label (LFO speed,
Modulation depth, Threshold, Ratio, etc.) go through
`effects.types.<type>.{label,params.<param>}` with the backend string
as defaultValue fallback.
- Chain-level controls: "Load preset…", "Add effect…", "Clear",
Power/Remove button titles.
- Built-in preset names + descriptions (Robotic, Radio, Echo Chamber,
Deep Voice) are translated client-side; user-created presets keep
their original names.
Backend keeps returning English — frontend intercepts and translates
via key lookup, defaulting to the backend string so unknown
effects/params don't break.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* feat(i18n): localize Create/Edit Voice modal and audio sample panels
ProfileForm now routes its title, description, voice-source toggle
(Clone from audio / Built-in voice), field labels (Name, Description,
Language, Engine, Voice, Reference Text, Default Engine, Default
Effects), sample tabs (Upload / Record / System Audio), action
buttons, and every toast + Zod validation message through i18n.
Also covers the three AudioSample panels (Upload/Record/System) — the
choose-file / start-recording / start-capture call-to-actions, the
"N remaining" countdown, "Recording complete" / "Capture complete"
states, and the Play / Transcribe / Remove / Record Again buttons.
SampleList too — the "No samples yet" empty state, per-sample edit
mode, mini-player aria labels, Delete Sample dialog, and toasts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* feat(i18n): localize Audio Channels tab (list, dialogs, device picker)
Covers the "Audio Channels" title and "New Channel" button, the empty
state, per-channel section labels (Output Devices / Assigned Voices),
the Available Devices right pane with its three contextual hints, the
"No voices assigned" fallback, and both Create/Edit dialogs (titles,
descriptions, field labels, Select placeholders, and the "(default)"
badge).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* feat(i18n): localize Voices tab (table header, search, inspector)
VoicesTab now translates the "Voices" title, search placeholder,
"New Voice" button, all six table column headers (Name, Language,
Generations, Samples, Effects, Channels), the avatar alt text, and
the per-row channel MultiSelect (placeholder + "(Default)" suffix).
VoiceInspector routes its form labels through the existing
`profileForm.fields.*` keys, has its own "Default Effects" hint and
avatar/save toasts, and reuses the ProfileForm Zod validation.

* feat(i18n): add Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) locale
Adds a zh-TW translation with Taiwan vocabulary conventions
(e.g. 預設 / 儲存 / 載入 / 匯入 / 匯出 / 設定 / 檔案 / 伺服器 / 裝置 / 網路).
Registers it alongside en and zh-CN; the language dropdown picks it up
automatically from SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES.

* feat(i18n): add Japanese (ja) locale
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* fix(i18n): localize relative dates for ja and zh-TW
formatDate only mapped zh-CN, so history timestamps stayed in English for
ja and zh-TW users even after the rest of the UI translated. Extend the
switch to ja and zhTW from date-fns/locale.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* fix(i18n): address PR review feedback
Bugs:
- GeneralPage: network access toast used the keep-server-running title key
(wrong semantic scope). Add networkAccess.updatedTitle and use it.
- GeneralPage: fallback "Unknown" version was stored as a translated string
in state, so it stayed stale across language switches. Store null, resolve
the label at render time.
- GeneralPage: memoize the zod resolver on t and retrigger validation when
the locale changes so existing error messages retranslate.
- GpuPage: adding t to the CUDA progress EventSource effect deps caused the
SSE connection to be torn down and reopened on every language change,
potentially dropping in-flight download events. Capture t in a ref.
- HistoryTable: Effects dialog still rendered English "Source" / "Select
source version" / "Cancel" / "Apply" / "Applying..." — localize them.
- Locales: zh-CN / zh-TW / ja devSuffix was missing the leading space before
"(开发版)"/"(開發版)"/"(開発版)", so dev builds rendered "v0.4.2(开发版)"
instead of "v0.4.2 (开发版)".
Nits:
- ModelManagement: rename .find((t) => ...) callback param to avoid
shadowing useTranslation().t.
- GenerationPage: rename chunkLimit.value interpolation key from count →
chars so i18next doesn't silently activate pluralization if a translator
later adds _one/_other forms.
- LanguageSelect: narrow onValueChange handler param to LanguageCode.
Key count now 559 across en/zh-CN/zh-TW/ja (added 4 effectsDialog keys
plus networkAccess.updatedTitle).

When user attempts to change model storage location with no models
downloaded, the migration API returns moved=0 early. Previously the UI
would still call setCustomModelsDir() and restart the server, causing
unexpected behavior (hang/connection lost).
This change checks migrationResult.moved === 0 and shows a helpful
toast message instead of proceeding with the storage change.
Fixes: #426

Catches format drift that accumulated across 13 authored files in
app/src and docs/. Auto-generated artifacts (tauri/src-tauri/gen,
docs/openapi.json, docs/cli.json, app/src/lib/api) were left alone
since the build regenerates them on each run — baking their formatted
state into git just causes churn next build.
No behavioral changes. Trailing commas, line wrapping, and indentation
only.

Add Kokoro-82M as a new TTS engine — 82M params, CPU realtime, 8 languages,
Apache 2.0. Unlike cloning engines, Kokoro uses pre-built voice styles, which
required a new profile type system to support non-cloning engines cleanly.
Kokoro engine:
- New kokoro_backend.py implementing TTSBackend protocol
- 50 built-in voices across en/es/fr/hi/it/pt/ja/zh
- KPipeline API with language-aware G2P routing via misaki
- PyInstaller bundling for misaki, language_tags, espeakng_loader, en_core_web_sm
Voice profile type system:
- New voice_type column: 'cloned' | 'preset' | 'designed' (future)
- Preset profiles store engine + voice ID instead of audio samples
- default_engine field on profiles — auto-selects engine on profile pick
- Create Voice dialog: toggle between 'Clone from audio' and 'Built-in voice'
- Edit dialog shows preset voice info instead of sample list for preset profiles
- Engine selector locks to preset engine when preset profile is selected
- Profile grid filters by engine — shows Kokoro voices when Kokoro selected
- Custom empty state when no preset profiles exist for selected engine
Bug fixes:
- Fix relative audio paths in DB causing 404s in production builds
- config.set_data_dir() now resolves to absolute paths
- Startup migration converts existing relative paths to absolute
Also updates PROJECT_STATUS.md and tts-engines.mdx developer guide.
Upgrade CUDA toolkit from 12.6 (cu126) to 12.8 (cu128) for proper
RTX 50-series (Blackwell) GPU support. Users with RTX 5070/5080/5090
were reporting CUDA detection failures with cu126.
Also fix the GPU Acceleration settings panel where the 'Switch to CPU
Backend' button was unreachable — it was inside a conditional block
that required !isCurrentlyCuda, making it impossible to switch back
to CPU once running on CUDA.
Closes#315
Integrates HumeAI's TADA (Text-Acoustic Dual Alignment) speech-language
model as a new TTS engine. TADA uses a novel 1:1 token-audio alignment
that produces coherent speech over long sequences (700s+).
Two model variants:
- tada-1b: English-only, ~4GB, built on Llama 3.2 1B
- tada-3b-ml: 10 languages, ~8GB, built on Llama 3.2 3B
Backend uses the Encoder for voice prompt encoding with caching, and
TadaForCausalLM with flow-matching diffusion for generation. Supports
bf16 inference on CUDA, forces CPU on macOS (MPS compatibility).
Installed with --no-deps due to torch>=2.7 pin conflict; descript-audio-codec
and torchaudio added as explicit sub-dependencies.
- Add openPath and pickDirectory to PlatformFilesystem interface
- Remove direct @tauri-apps/plugin-shell and plugin-dialog imports from app
- Merge build-cuda.yml into release.yml as a parallel job
Generations now return immediately with a 'generating' status and appear
in history right away. TTS runs in a serial background queue to avoid
GPU contention. Users can kick off multiple generations without blocking.
- Async POST /generate creates DB record immediately, queues TTS work
- Serial generation queue prevents concurrent GPU access (Metal/CUDA/CPU)
- SSE endpoint GET /generate/{id}/status for real-time completion tracking
- Retry endpoint POST /generate/{id}/retry for failed generations
- Store engine and model_size on generation records for retry support
- History cards show animated loader (react-loaders) for generating/playing
- Failed generations show retry button instead of actions menu
- Model downloads happen inline in the queue instead of rejecting with 202
- Stale 'generating' records marked as failed on server startup
- Autoplay on generate setting (default: on)
- Show engine name on generation cards
- Remove sidebar generation spinner
- Checkbox alignment fix in settings
- Add model folder migration with byte-level progress tracking (backend + UI)
- Custom models directory support via VOICEBOX_MODELS_DIR env var passed to sidecar
- Hardcoded model descriptions displayed in model detail cards
- Open model folder button in storage location row
- Remove 'not downloaded' badge from model cards
- Fix server settings scroll offset for audio player
- Fix shell open permission to allow file paths
- Add normalize toggle to generation settings
- Split chunking/crossfade sliders into dedicated GenerationSettings card
- Merge connection status badges into ConnectionForm (remove ServerStatus card)
- 2-column grid layout for the entire settings page
- GPU Acceleration: remove icon, badge, and MLX info card
- Models: merge 'Other Voice Models' into single 'Voice Generation' list
- Model detail: remove 'Downloaded' badge, border above actions, swap
badges above stats row, match disk size font to stats
Persisted setting (default 800 chars) controls how long text is split
before generation. Lower values improve quality for long outputs by
keeping each chunk well within the model's context window.
- Slider in Server Connection settings (100–2000 chars, step 50)
- Stored in localStorage via Zustand persist
- Passed as max_chunk_chars on every generation request
- Frontend text limit raised to 50,000 to match backend
- POST /models/{model_name}/unload — unloads a specific model from
memory without deleting from disk, supports all engine types
- Frontend: Unload button in model detail dialog when model is loaded
- Delete button remains disabled while loaded (unload first)
- Add HFProgressTracker to LuxTTS and Chatterbox backends so tqdm-based
file-level download progress reaches the frontend (previously only Qwen
had this, LuxTTS/Chatterbox showed a static spinner)
- Add progress/current/total/filename fields to ActiveDownloadTask so the
/tasks/active polling endpoint carries progress data
- Show inline progress bar + bytes in the model list and detail modal,
poll at 1s during active downloads (5s otherwise)
- Fix GpuAcceleration crash: cudaStatusLoading was referenced before
initialization in its own useQuery declaration
- New ChatterboxTTSBackend wrapping ChatterboxMultilingualTTS (ResembleAI/chatterbox)
- Supports 23 languages including Hebrew, forces CPU on macOS (MPS issue)
- Monkey-patches torch.load for CPU loading, forces eager attention for compatibility
- trim_tts_output utility cuts trailing silence/hallucination from Chatterbox output
- Full engine integration: /generate, /generate/stream, model status/download/delete
- Hebrew (he) added to supported languages in frontend and backend validation
- Single flat model dropdown extended with Chatterbox option in both generation UIs
- ModelManagement UI groups LuxTTS and Chatterbox under 'Other Voice Models' section
Introduce LuxTTS (ZipVoice) alongside Qwen TTS, enabling users to choose
between engines at generation time. LuxTTS offers fast, English-focused
voice cloning at 48kHz with ~1GB VRAM.
Backend:
- Add LuxTTSBackend with encode_prompt/generate_speech integration
- Multi-engine registry (get_tts_backend_for_engine) replacing singleton
- Engine-prefixed voice prompt cache keys to avoid collisions
- Engine field on GenerationRequest (default 'qwen' for backward compat)
- Engine dispatch in /generate and /generate/stream endpoints
- LuxTTS in model status, download, and delete maps
Frontend:
- TTS Engine selector dropdown in GenerationForm (Qwen TTS / LuxTTS)
- Conditionally hide Model Size and Delivery Instructions for LuxTTS
- Engine field added to TypeScript types and Zod schema
- LuxTTS section in Model Management page
Add the ability to download a CUDA-enabled backend binary (~2.4 GB) and
swap it in via a backend-only restart, solving the #1 user pain point
(19 open 'GPU not detected' issues caused by GitHub's 2 GB asset limit).
Backend:
- cuda_download.py: download from R2 (primary) or GitHub split-parts
(fallback), SHA-256 verification, atomic writes, progress via SSE
- 4 new endpoints: GET/POST/DELETE /backend/cuda-*, GET cuda-progress
- server.py: --version flag, auto-detect variant from binary name
- build_binary.py: --cuda flag for CUDA PyInstaller builds
- split_binary.py: split large binaries into <2GB GitHub Release assets
- CI workflow for building CUDA binary
Tauri:
- restart_server command (stop -> wait -> start)
- start_server prefers CUDA binary from {data_dir}/backends/ if present
- Version mismatch check: runs --version before launching CUDA binary
Frontend:
- GpuAcceleration component: download, progress, restart, switch, delete
- API client + types for CUDA status and management
- Platform lifecycle: restartServer() on Tauri/Web
- Aggressive 1s health polling during restart for fast reconnection
- Audio player: aria-labels for Play/Pause, Loop, Mute, Close; labelled playback and volume sliders
- Generation: aria-labels for Generate speech and Fine tune instructions buttons
- Voice cards: focusable, labelled, Enter/Space to select
- History rows: focusable, labelled, Enter/Space to play; transcript textarea labelled
- Voices tab: focusable rows, labelled, Enter/Space to edit; Actions button labelled
- Model management: focusable model rows and labelled Download/Delete buttons
- Server tab: regions with aria-label and tabIndex for Connection, Status, App Updates
- Stories: focusable story rows, labelled, Enter/Space to select; Actions and track editor buttons labelled
- Voice profile samples: Play/Pause/Stop and mini-player slider labelled
Tested with NVDA and Narrator on Windows. See docs/PR-ACCESSIBILITY.md for full description.

Exposes the existing remote server mode through a checkbox in Server
Connection settings. When enabled, the server binds to 0.0.0.0 instead
of 127.0.0.1, making it accessible from other devices on the network.
The plumbing already existed (Rust sidecar passes --host 0.0.0.0 when
remote=true, serverStore has mode state, Python backend accepts --host),
but the UI hardcoded startServer(false). This wires it up.
