• Whisper for Speech to Text is now the new default for speech to text upon opening TTS Voice Wizard for the first time.

• Your favorite buttons have been re-colored to be more appealing to the eye.

• Fixed Whisper by using CultureInfo.InvariantCulture Property when converting to decimal... so it does it the "english" way.
  • For example before this fix if your computer was set to German "8.0" would be converted to 80 since German uses "," for decimals instead of "."

• miku option removed (it didn't work anyway :p)

• Aspnetcore-runtime dependency removed from main app (still might need it for fonix?)
• Fixes issue with being unable to use Whisper (will now use defaults automatically if unable to start.
  • ( I still don't know the cause of the issue, does it only occur on computers using a language other than english as default?

• Before this update program would crash upon receiving OSC bundle, now bundles are just broken up and re-received.

• OSCListener Battery Life support for HMD
• OSCListener Tab UI Changes
• Variables for media integration

{TCharge} //  lightning bolt emoji if tracker is charging
{RCharge}  //  lightning bolt emoji if tracker charging
{LCharge}  // lightning bolt emoji if left controller charging 
{AVGCharge}  // lightning bolt emoji if either controller avg charging 
{HMDCharge}  // lightning bolt emoji if HMD is charging
{HMDBattery} // HMD battery percentage 

The HMD battery life address is "/avatar/parameters/HMDBat"

• fixes textbox not saving for OSC listener tab and VRChat Listener tab OSC ports
• Greater Control over Whisper
  • This is a temporary fix for the long delay. You can shorten the delay as you see fit (i have already shortened it a bit)
  • No, i don't know how these numbers work exactly x.x
  • If you find a combination that works better than the defaults let me know so I can inform others and update the defaults.
  • YOU NEED TO STOP AND RESTART WHISPER TO HAVE THE CHANGES TAKE EFFECT

You can use the OSC Listener Tab to receive a string sent to address /TTSVoiceWizard/TextToSpeech. The received string will play over TTS using what ever settings you have selected on the Text to Speech Tab.

One possible use case would be if you wanted to use Voice Attack with an OSC plugin and send those results to TTS Voice Wizard to play over TTS or show in the VRChat Chatbox or whatever. This opens more possibilities up to the user.
