Release v1.10.0 · mohammad-rj/speakpaste

What's new in v1.10.0

Select text in any Windows app and press Win+Shift to hear it read.
Your clipboard is untouched — the selection is copied and your previous clipboard content is put back.
A floating player gives you play/pause, stop, a seek bar, and a 0.5x–2x speed slider that keeps the voice natural instead of turning it into a chipmunk.
Long text starts playing within a few seconds instead of making you wait: it is split at sentence boundaries and later parts are prepared while earlier ones play, with no gaps between them.
Jump between parts with the ◀◀ / ▶▶ buttons. A part 2/5 counter and tick marks on the seek bar show where you are. Pressing back mid-part replays that part from its start.
Two voice engines: free Microsoft Edge neural voices (default, no key), or Gemini-TTS on Vertex AI where you can describe in plain words how it should read.
The tray menu also has Read clipboard aloud and Stop reading.

Detects the spoken language by itself, so the keyboard layout and the Language setting no longer matter.
Persian sentences keep their English technical terms in Latin script — say "برو روی branch جدید و commit رو merge کن" and branch, commit and merge come out in English instead of being mangled.

Settings are now split into three tabs: Speech → Text, Text → Speech, and General.
A Test voice button plays a sample without closing the window.
Click any history entry to copy it back to your clipboard.

SpeakPaste is now licensed under Apache 2.0. A THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md documents every dependency licence and the LGPL/GPL components bundled into the executable.
A rotating log file is written next to the app, which makes problems diagnosable now that the app runs without a console.
