for known dynamic pages (GitLab CI jobs), fetch the raw/plain text
endpoint instead of scraping a half-loaded DOM. falls back to DOM
extraction with a MutationObserver settle wait when raw isn't accessible.
extractWebpageContent is now async, all callers updated.
new browser-toys.html with install instructions, storage/privacy
docs, and per-browser guides. sidebar link added to all 26 pages.
browser toys section added to index.html and uncloseai-js.html.
Explain how to download the 42+ cloned voice samples from LibriSpeech
using the new Makefile target. Updated on both the main TTS page and
the Qwen3-TTS subpage.
Replace generic engine names (Voice Cloning, Fast Synthesis, etc.)
with actual model names (Qwen3-TTS, Piper TTS, XTTS v2, Silero TTS,
Kokoro TTS) across all 6 TTS pages including titles, headers, and
sidebar nav. Add upstream HuggingFace/GitHub links in technical
details section of each engine subpage.
Rewrite text-to-speech.html to focus on the live service (Qwen3-TTS
voice cloning with 42+ voices). Each of the 5 engines now has its own
page under /tts/ with detailed docs, examples, and self-hosting
instructions. Engine cards on the main page link out with Live/Self-host
badges. Sidebar nav updated with TTS subsection on all 6 pages.
New pages:
- /tts/voice-cloning.html (Live - Qwen3-TTS)
- /tts/fast-synthesis.html (Self-host - Piper)
- /tts/hd-cloning.html (Self-host - XTTS v2)
- /tts/multilingual-cpu.html (Self-host - Silero)
- /tts/lightweight.html (Self-host - Kokoro)
- Update all examples from "alloy" to real voice names (aria, atlas)
- Add clickable links to /v1/voices and /v1/models endpoints
- Update voice count from 20+ to 42+ built-in cloned voices
- Bump TTS modal cache version to 4
- Update deployment instructions (remove vars.sh, add deploy-cpu)
- Add in-memory TTS cache for replay without regeneration
Firefox supports audio/webm;codecs=opus in MediaSource API,
enabling true streaming playback. Remove broken progressive
playback (partial blobs don't stream). Simplified fallback
to full buffer for any browser without MSE support.
Progressive playback was silently failing if response.body was null
or if the reader threw. Now falls back to full buffer if body isn't
streamable, logs chunk progress, and properly unblocks callers on
error instead of hanging forever.
Firefox can't use MediaSource for streaming. Instead of buffering
the entire response before playing, progressively read chunks and
start playback after ~8KB arrives. Replaces audio src with complete
blob when download finishes for seeking support.
Update text-to-speech.html to document Qwen3-TTS as the default
5th engine with 20 cloned voices and 10-language support.
Firefox on Linux reports canPlayType('audio/mpeg') as supported
but then fails to decode mp3. Use user-agent detection instead:
Firefox always gets opus (ogg), Chromium browsers get mp3.
Firefox on Linux lacks mp3 decoders. Detect browser capabilities
at load time: use mp3 for Chrome, opus (ogg) for Firefox.
MediaSource streaming only works with mp3 (Chrome); Firefox
falls back to buffered playback with opus format.
Sends response_format parameter to TTS server.
- speakChatText now uses handleTTS instead of speakTextDirect
so embed modal TTS (intro, chat messages) respects streaming mode
- Streaming result updates blobUrl on completion so existing
download click handlers work without changes
- speakTextStreaming now returns immediately with the audio element
already playing, plus a done promise for when the stream completes
- Modal wires up controls immediately using the live audio element
- Pause/play works during streaming (stream continues in background)
- Button shows "Streaming..." while receiving, switches to "Pause" when done
- Download button enables only after stream completes
- All TTS functions now return consistent done promise interface
Default to streaming mode which plays audio as chunks arrive
from the server instead of buffering the entire response.
Adds a Buffered/Streaming toggle in the TTS modal.
Falls back to buffered if MediaSource doesn't support audio/mpeg.
