Armenian Speaker 1.0.2

Native offline Armenian speech and Russian translation for Apple Silicon Macs, macOS 14 or newer.

Version 1.0.2:

• Fixed launch of the ad-hoc signed app with its bundled native libraries.
• Russian-to-Armenian translation uses the specialized WindyEnhanced herm0 model (WindstormLabs / WindyWord.ai, CC-BY-4.0). Armenian-to-Russian uses SMaLL-100 (MIT). Models are bundled; no online service or account is required. Translation can still contain mistakes.
• The translation panel stays open until closed. While open, translation runs after a 600 ms typing pause or immediately with Translate. Closing stops scheduling translations.
• Playback reads Armenian from the editor or the current Armenian translation, including a result in the lower panel.
• Speech speed is 0.1–2.0 in steps of 0.1.
