SpeakTab 10.14.34 — free spoken practice reminders

Save advice and practise without the AI teacher

1. Ask the teacher to save a practice note for the current passage. Wait for the actual save confirmation.
2. Stop the teacher normally with F9, or say stop teacher through an already-on free reader microphone.
3. With the free reader microphone on, say read practice note, next practice note or previous practice note. Windows speech reads the saved reminder and its passage location, without AI credits. These commands do not move the music or start the teacher.
4. Say stop speaking to interrupt the local voice while keeping the free reader microphone listening. Stop listening turns that microphone off. If the optional SpeakTab wake word is enabled, prefix commands with SpeakTab.

Practice note in the phrase distinguishes reminders from musical next note navigation. The first and last reminders are announced at their boundaries. Notes remain saved when the teacher stops. There is no automatic reminder timer. The Practice menu also has equivalent text actions and an optional review window for screen reader/Braille or local Windows read-aloud.

Quality and costs

The teacher model, complete requested explanations, saved preferences and musical context are retained. No cheaper model, smaller answer limit or reduced lesson history was introduced. The current Realtime service does not charge merely for a truly silent connection, but detected speech, music or background sound can trigger paid responses. F9 ends the AI lesson; Ctrl+2 returns to the score and playback Pause pauses music, neither stops AI. Free reader commands, local playback and saved-note reminders do not use teacher credits. The app does not yet provide a per-lesson usage ledger.

Downloads

Complete Windows app ZIP | Complete developer handoff

105-page Word manual | 7-page Word Quick Start

Extract the complete Windows ZIP and keep its runtimes, licenses and native guides together. Download the expanded Word manual separately; it is also included in the complete developer handoff. Use SpeakTab-Source.zip for the full developer handoff; GitHub's generated source archives are not that handoff. Version 10.14.12 and later can use Help > Check for updates; earlier versions need the complete ZIP installed manually once. Keep your previous/recovery copy.

Verification and limits

This publishes the existing installed and tested 10.14.34 build unchanged, with user approval on October 24, 2026. The root release gate and all 62 focused software checks passed. Both complete packages, source/executable/guide agreement, manifests, runtimes/licenses and privacy checks passed. New34 and installed/public33 updater implementations extracted the actual complete34 app ZIP with the expected executable hash. Most build checks use local original fixtures or simulated responses; no paid AI test was run for this update.

Physical microphone, Windows speech, JAWS/NVDA/Braille and live teacher/model acceptance remain hands-on checks. Model instructions do not guarantee compliance. PDF/OCR remains experimental; compare readings and suggestions with originals. Existing saved-song workspaces, teacher profiles, optional private piece memory, guitar/piano teaching and practice features remain included.

Private music, purchased course readings, student profiles, piece journals, API keys and private work logs are excluded. Distributed automatic piece memory starts off. Packaged local-test/preparation wording is preserved in the tested files; this release page records their approved publication. Earlier releases remain available.
