Retro TTS Pack 1.2.2 adds a Lion-only Nix package and clearer Microsoft Speech Dispatcher module names.

  • Rename the modules to microsoft-sapi5 (Microsoft SAPI5: Sam, Mike, Mary) and microsoft-speech-platform (Microsoft Speech Platform: David, Zira, Mark). The renderer engine keys remain mssam and onecore. Lowercase, hyphenated identifiers keep them selectable through Speech Dispatcher.
  • Migrate standalone installer configurations to the new names and remove the old module entries. Automatically discovered modules have the usual -generic suffix.
  • Add packages.x86_64-linux.lion-only for SoNix and other downstream systems. It excludes Tiger/Leopard archives, voice data and module configs while retaining Lion and the Microsoft engines. The default Retro TTS package and portable installers continue to offer all Panthera generations.

Validation: full and Lion-only Nix builds; 97 full-package renders and 50 Lion-only renders; Microsoft module selection/multiword synthesis through an isolated dispatcher; installer migration test and BestSpeech regressions. ARM runtime layout is checked; ARM execution was not tested.

Download the x86_64 archive for Linux PCs or aarch64 for 64-bit ARM. Unpack and run ./install.sh. Portable archives include code and runtime libraries; the installer obtains external voice data from checksum-pinned sources. SHA256SUMS covers both archives.
