Another day, another release for 64-bit:
v9: proof that begging for contributions works
This feature packed release is thanks to regular contributor titet11, and new contributor crucio2211! Here's what's new:
• Smart dictionary updates: Preserves user's custom dictionary entries during updates, Only adds new words, prevents duplicates, and Auto-removes accents for compatibility (é→e, ñ→n). It also auto-downloads new language dictionaries. (Thanks crucio2211)
• Enhanced Pause Control (from IBMTTS): Three pause modes for better speech rhythm. Mode 0: Do not shorten, Mode 1: Shorten at end only, Mode 2: Shorten all pauses. (once again thanks to crucio2211)
• One-click setup for Windows logon/UAC screen support: now you can click a copy helper button in the eloquence settings category, meaning manual copying is no longer required. (Still from crucio2211 who is on fire)
• Ability to check for updates manually (thanks to crucio2211)
• fixes to voice pitch when switching languages (thanks to eloquence_64 regular titet11)
• correctly sets pitch for voices other than the default (thanks to titet11)
• makes sure pitch never goes out of the range allowed by eloquence (thanks titet11)
• Multiple other fixes to pitch control (thanks titet11)

@KaraLG84 @fastfinge Hey. There seem to be two different Eloquence packages out there. I had one working and, after installing today's version, Eloquence no longer appears as an option in Preferences > Settings > Speech. Could anyone give me any special tips I need to follow besides standard addon install?

@darrell73 @KaraLG84 If you are still on 32-bit NVDA, you must use this addon: github.com/pumper42nickel/eloquence_threshold

@fastfinge @KaraLG84 Yikes!!! I guess I just assumed I was already on 64-bit NVDA... Hmm. I'm checking on nvaccess.org is the 64-bit version a secret? :-)
