macOS (Homebrew):

  brew tap rishiskhare/parrot && brew install --cask parrot

Bundled espeak-ng

Parrot now ships with espeak-ng built in. Previously, users had to install espeak-ng separately (brew install espeak-ng on macOS, apt install espeak-ng on Linux), and would get a confusing "espeak-ng not found" error if they didn't.
This is now handled automatically on all platforms.

Removed microphone permission

Parrot is a text-to-speech app and does not need microphone access. The unnecessary microphone permission prompt on macOS has been removed.

Other improvements

  • Fixed Homebrew cask update workflow failing with 404 when release assets are still uploading
  • Resolved all Rust clippy warnings across the codebase
  • Updated tts-rs to v2026.2.3 with cleaner KokoroEngine::with_espeak() API
