SpeakTab 10.14.38 — Clearer continuous score reading

SpeakTab 10.14.38 — clearer, continuous score reading

What changed

Score reading introduces the measure once: “Measure 1, beat 1,” then “Beat 2,” “Beat 3,” and the supplied decimal subdivisions. Staff names are introduced once per measure rather than before every note or beat. Individual notes and both supplied staves remain available.

Tied durations are included at the original attack. Ordinary navigation and playback position following skip unchanged tie-only continuations, without shortening the actual sound. Rests, lyrics, written directions and uncertain tie origins remain available. The native note list, details and free spoken beat commands now use the same concise current reading. Explicit “where am I” and “which staff” remain available.

Text and HTML exports omit reopening data and duplicated structured-score summaries. Ctrl+S still keeps complete reopenable readings. The settings and announcements say Playback speed. These changes apply across supported scores; original notes, strings/frets, timing, saved data and AI lesson context are retained.

Downloads and documentation

Complete Windows app | Complete developer source handoff

Extract the complete Windows ZIP into its own SpeakTab folder and keep the runtimes, licenses and guides together. Run SpeakTab.exe. Keep original music and a previous/recovery copy. Supported existing versions can use Help > Check for updates.

The expanded Word manual and Quick Start remain the reviewed 10.14.34 editions. Current 10.14.38 reading instructions are in the packaged native guides and current HTML user guide. The expanded documents remain available separately and in the developer handoff.

Verification and limits

This publishes the existing installed, user-approved 10.14.38 executable and both complete ZIPs unchanged. The root release gate and all 65 focused software checks passed. Packages, source/executable/guide agreement, embedded guides, manifests, runtimes, licenses and privacy checks passed. New38, installed37 and public34 updaters extracted the actual complete app package with matching executable hashes.

Physical screen-reader/Braille/device, microphone/audio and live teacher acceptance remain hands-on checks. No paid AI test was run for these wording changes. PDF/OCR remains experimental; compare readings with originals.

Private music, purchased course readings, student profiles, journals, API keys and private work logs are excluded. Packaged local-test wording records the preparation checkpoint; this release page records approved publication. Earlier releases remain available.
