Spoken Beta: V0.9.4 Release Notes: Natural Cadence, Emotional Precision, and Massive MCMV Level Up
Spoken just got sharper, smoother, and more emotionally tuned. This release introduces a significant upgrade to our parsing and narration engine—fine-tuning padding mechanics and emotional cueing to deliver professional-grade pacing and performance across all narration formats.
Smarter Parsing, Natural Performance
Our parsing mechanic now operates at a more granular level, adjusting rhythm and spacing to reflect the natural cadence of your story. Padding logic has been reworked to better mirror the expectations of professional audiobooks—introducing well-timed pauses at punctuation, line breaks, speaker transitions, and more. The result is narration that flows with intention, clarity, and a distinctly human rhythm.
Emotional Cueing—Leveled Up
We’ve enhanced our emotional detection and instruction engine, enabling deeper, more expressive performances from every voice. We now generate more specific, fine-grained emotional instructions for each passage and line of dialogue, resulting in noticeably richer and more nuanced performances. It’s a major step forward in capturing the emotional heartbeat of every story.
A Milestone in Multi-Character, Multi-Voice (MCMV) Narration
This release pushes our MCMV narration to a new level. As more creators adopt multi-character formats, Spoken is becoming the definitive platform for layered, cast-driven storytelling at scale. This upgrade lays critical groundwork for even more transformative leaps coming soon in multicast preparation.
