## v1.1.028 — 2026-05-22
- feature: **Recognition language selector for voice input.** The Voice Input settings panel adds a Recognition Language dropdown — leave it on **Auto** for automatic detection, or pick a specific language for the most reliable results with short phrases or in noisier surroundings. The list adapts to the selected recognition model.
- feature: **Both voice-recognition models are now selectable.** The Voice Input panel shows both speech-recognition models as cards you can switch between at any time, and your choice is remembered. A sensible default is still chosen automatically from your interface language.
- improvement: **More accurate speech recognition across a wide range of languages**, including setups where the interface language differs from the system language.
- improvement: **Any voice can speak any supported language.** Voices are no longer tied to a single language, so cross-language and mixed-language replies — for example a narration line and a dialogue line written in different languages — are each pronounced correctly.
- improvement: **Spoken replies are split into sentences more accurately**, so speech follows the natural phrasing of the text.
- improvement: **"Skip action descriptions" now also covers bracketed actions.** With the option enabled, action text inside brackets — （）()【】[] and similar — is skipped during speech, alongside the *asterisk*-wrapped actions already supported.
- improvement: **Faster voice generation for the Fast Voice (LuxTTS) engine.**
- improvement: **The voice speed setting now also applies to the HQ Voice (voice-cloning) engine**, so the speech-rate control is consistent across every voice engine.
- improvement: **The cloud model picker hides more non-chat models** — transcription, image / video, realtime, and legacy text-completion models no longer clutter the list.
- improvement: **Clearer cloud error when an account's quota or billing limit is reached** — this is now reported as a billing issue rather than treated as a temporary rate limit and retried.
