Eloquence64RS 19.1-RS Beta 1 has been released. This beta introduces the optional Enhanced 22 kHz audio mode. The new mode is an original Rust DSP implementation with speech-presence shaping, stateful polyphase interpolation, and suppression of mirrored high-frequency energy. I need feedback, this sounds different from the hozosch implementation, and I personally don't use this mode. github.com/Nick6489/Eloquence64RS/releases/download/v19.1-RS-beta1.1/Eloquence-v19.1-RS-beta1.1.nvda-addon
I've released the stable Eloquence64RS 19.1! Given the 22 KHZ mode being well tested and stable according to its users, I've also had GPT sanitize the dictionary handling. Any previously downloaded dictionary is labeled as custom. However, instead of the mish mash we had before, you can now switch between default pronunciations, Community dictionary, and Alternative IBM TTS, without any issues.
I've released Eloquence64RS 19.1.1. This hotfix squashes a dictionaries bug - Pronunciation dictionary selection now follows NVDA configuration profile changes immediately. Switching profiles no longer leaves the dictionary from the previously active profile loaded in the Eloquence Host Process.

I've released Eloquence64RS 19.1.2. This release works around profile issues @lerven reported. Thanks man! It came to light while I was banging away that the profile issues were in core, but this addon should work properly even so, no monkey patching. Profile switching should carry over all settings and be stable.

I've released Eloquence64RS 19.1.3. This release fixes a tiny edge case so a cancelled Speech Sequence cannot start a new Speech Generation after Stop. Oddly, you might get a little responsiveness increase with this addon as we're not carrying around stale data anymore, but very much YMMV.

Urgent: Eloquence64RS 19.1.4 is released in stable channels including the updater. Please grab this one now as it is a hotfix for clean shutdown of the 32-bit Eloquence host when NVDA exits or switches synthesizers. It fixes this upstream bug (Thanks, @fastfinge!)
Well, Eloquence 64RS 19.5 Beta 3 has been released, with a drasticly different 16 KHZ presence contour. @Leowyatt88 is the star of the show here, we just prooved out that you can draw up an EQ curve in Reaper, then reimplement that in Rust. This is a starting point, he is willing to do some more if we can come to a consensus on changes that should be made.
Working on Eloquence 64RS nuts and bolts. Serious credit where it's due to @fastfinge for improving the keypress delay to the point where it bettered the RS addon, while still keeping sync with Unspoken - something my addon never did. I'm adopting that from upstream. Going to heavily test it before it goes beta, also figuring out what the fuck I'm doing about 16 KHZ presence curves. LOL.
I decided to jump early. Eloquence64RS 19.5 Beta 5 is out. In 11 KHZ mode, we've cherry picked @fastfinge's buffer improvements. We've also replaced the Presence contour checkbox with a Sound contour dropdown, so you can choose the sound you prefer without losing your previous selection. Those who liked the 16 KHZ Presence contour from Beta 2 get it back, the current one is renamed Smooth. 11 KHZ Presence Contour remains unchanged.
@nick FYI openevv has a bunch of fixes that are on main, but not in a release yet. Latest main has working dictionary support, plus eciStop is fixed. Just in case you decide to add it. I do, though, think you should be thinking about how to get your resampling working with openevv. Because they get closer and closer every day. I'm in the process of switching my CI/CD process to build with the latest working code from openevv, so test builds will have the latest fixes from them shortly. Openevv is noticeably faster than the 32-bit host, and uses less memory, in every case. The primary remaining issue is some weird and annoying pauses in say all. But once that gets fixed, and all of the new features are in an official openevv release, I intend to switch openevv to be the default.
@fastfinge@nick does openevv not support the lack of phrase prediction? right from 2010 when I started generating eloquence as audio, I opened each audio file with da0 pp0 (no dictionaries, no phrase prediction), or so I thought.
@cachondo@nick PP works on subclauses seperated by commas, as well as remarks in parens. You can hear the difference with it on verses it off. It seems like openevv just pauses longer for commas and periods in some cases, unrelated to pp. I think? Maybe? Right now I'm in that state of programming where I am confused and know it.
