Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

0.1.8 - 2026-06-17

Changed

Documentation

• Documented how to extract Firebase credentials from TTSReader browser storage.

0.1.7

• Rename the plugin display name to TTSReader so it follows Obsidian community manifest naming guidelines.
• Keep the manifest ID as ttsreader for community submission compatibility.

0.1.6

• Change the Obsidian manifest ID to ttsreader so community submission passes manifest validation.
• Simplify the playback status bar to show elapsed and total time without a progress bar.
• Cache the 16 most recent synthesized/sample audio responses and surface playback/auth failures in the status bar.

0.1.5

Add playback status bar progress.\n\n- Adds a compact TTSReader playback indicator to the Obsidian status bar.\n- Shows Playing/Speaking/Paused/Done/Stopped state.\n- Shows elapsed time and duration when available, with an estimated duration for browser speech.\n- Adds a slim progress bar while audio is playing.

0.1.4

Add Cloud Bearer token authorization mode.\n\n- Adds Authorization mode: UAPI key or Cloud Bearer token.\n- Adds Cloud Bearer token input in the unified settings page and reader modal.\n- Sends Authorization: Bearer to the TTSReader cloud playback endpoint when Cloud Bearer mode is selected.\n- Keeps UAPI requests on the UAPI key path.\n- Adds default hotkey Mod+Shift+R for Read the selected text.

0.1.3

Unify plugin settings and prepare Obsidian community plugin release.\n\n- The Obsidian settings tab now includes UAPI key, language, accent, voice filter, reader, sample playback, mode, rate, premium usage, and sign-in in one page.\n- The reader modal also includes UAPI key entry.\n- Adds versions.json for Obsidian community plugin compatibility.\n- Release tag matches manifest version without a v prefix.

v0.1.2

Fix selected voice playback behavior.\n\n- The lower Play button no longer silently falls back to a default browser voice when a TTSReader server voice is selected.\n- TTSReader server voices can still be previewed with Play sample.\n- Custom text with TTSReader server voices now clearly requires UAPI export / a UAPI key instead of playing the wrong voice.\n- Browser voices still play custom text using the selected browser voice.

v0.1.1

Fix custom text playback paths.\n\n- Play now reads the text currently entered in the plugin modal instead of the default voice test sample.\n- Read the selected text now preserves and reads the selected editor text.\n- Server voice samples remain available through Play sample. Custom server voice text requires UAPI export; cloud playback falls back to a matching browser voice for custom text.

v0.1.0

Initial open source release of Obsidian TTSReader.\n\nInstall by downloading main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css into /.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-ttsreader/.
