Whether you've purchased the app, tried the demo, reported a bug, suggested a feature, or added it to your wishlist, it has all helped shape the project.It's hard to believe that Text To Speech has only been out for four months.In that short time, the software has grown from a simple offline text-to-speech tool with only Microsoft voices into something much bigger, with a soundboard, voice changer, audio effects, a musical keyboard, countless quality-of-life improvements, and many bug fixes along the way.Many of the improvements added since launch came directly from community feedback.The latest milestone is localization support. It might not be perfect, but to me it was a moment of realization that the software has become something real and is reaching people around the world.As always, please k…
