TeaTalk v0.1.0-alpha.2
Pre-release
Alpha build for trusted testers — Windows x64, self-contained (no install; unzip and run TeaTools.App.exe).
What's new since the 2026-07-17 build
💬 Live captions (opt-in preview)
TeaTalk can now show your words in the chatbox as you speak, before the finished translation arrives. OFF by default — try it via TeaTalk settings → Chatbox → "Live captions". Flipping it briefly pauses listening while the pipeline restarts; that's normal. It's a preview: if anything feels off, flip it back off and tell us what you saw.
🔧 Fixed: repeated/doubled words
With Live captions on, longer sentences could come back with words repeated or doubled before translation — garbling what got sent. Root-caused and fixed; verified in a live session before this release.
🔒 Privacy fix: mute is decided the moment you speak
In a rare timing window, speech that started while your VRChat mic was muted could still reach the chatbox with mute set to Pause STT. The mute decision is now locked at the instant you start speaking and can't be raced.
🔍 Under the hood
Much sharper latency + diagnostic logging (per-stage timings in %AppData%\TeaTools\logs). When something feels slow, the log now shows exactly which stage did it — and if you opted into crash reporting on first run, much of that reaches us automatically.
Coming from a build before 2026-07-17? You also have: typed messages send even while your mic is muted, the OSC port-in-use startup crash fix, better "it hears nothing" microphone diagnostics, and small-window layout fixes.
