Add rendering and support for a karaoke-style text-to-speechprogress bar in assistant messages so users can see the currently
spoken sentence and highlighted word during playback.
- Append TTS karaoke bar to AssistantMessageWidget when the message is
the active TTS target and playback is speaking/paused/loading.
- Implement _buildKaraokeBar to render the active sentence with a
highlighted word span, using ConduitCard and theme styles.
- Import conduit_components for shared UI primitives.
- Extend TextToSpeechState with sentence data:
sentences, sentenceOffsets, activeSentenceIndex, and per-word
progress (wordStartInSentence, wordEndInSentence).
- Add provider callbacks wiring: onSentenceIndex and
onDeviceWordProgress handlers (hooked into TTS backend).
- Prepare sentence splitting and word-progress plumbing in the TTS
provider (prepares data used to drive the karaoke display).
This change improves UX by visually indicating the spoken sentence
and current word during TTS playback, aiding comprehension and
accessibility.
queued playback via a dedicated _startServerChunkedPlayback method
instead of generating a single monolithic audio blob.
This change simplifies the server flow, avoids constructing an entire
audio buffer in memory, and enables smoother playback and error
recovery. On errors, the code still falls back to device TTS.
Introduce server TTS support and engine selection while keeping
device TTS as the default.
- Add new persistence keys for storing TTS engine and selected
server voice (ttsEngine, ttsServerVoiceId, ttsServerVoiceName).
- Extend TextToSpeechService to support two engines:
TtsEngine.device (FlutterTts) and TtsEngine.server (remote audio).
- Wire in an AudioPlayer and optional ApiService to fetch raw
audio bytes from the server and play them, with event hooks
mapped to existing lifecycle callbacks.
- Implement fallback to device TTS on server errors or empty
responses, and ensure player lifecycle (pause/stop/dispose)
is handled when using server engine.
- Allow engine and preferred voice to be configured before
initialization and updated at runtime via updateSettings.
This enables selecting a server-side voice and using a remote
TTS provider while preserving compatibility with the existing
device TTS implementation.
- Introduced new preference keys for TTS settings: voice, speech rate, pitch, and volume.
- Updated SettingsService to handle TTS settings and persist them.
- Enhanced AppSettings to include TTS-related properties.
- Implemented TTS settings UI in AppCustomizationPage, allowing users to select voice and adjust speech parameters.
- Added localization support for TTS settings in multiple languages.
- Added volume, speech rate, and pitch settings to the TextToSpeechService for improved audio control.
- Reset the accumulated response in VoiceCallService before sending messages to ensure accurate response handling.
- Enhanced the handling of socket events in VoiceCallService to manage streaming content and completion more effectively.
- Improved logging for better debugging and tracking of TTS and voice call states.
