v2.4.1 is officially here. the engine has been swapped to supertonic 3, meaning the voices finally sound like actual humans instead of a microwave in a blender.

the biggest jump is in language support:

* **tts expansion**: now natively supporting **31+ languages**.

* **discord locales**: added **19 new locales** to the bot to match the expanded tts capabilities.

the code survived the final checks and (hopefully) won't explode. for the full list of tweaks, bug fixes, and changes, check the changelog:\

ostinato v2.4.1 // now live

v2.4.1 is almost here. i'm just spending a bit more time verifying the new locales to make sure the translations actually make sense and doing one last deep dive into the code to ensure everything is stable.

it's nearly ready to drop. i'll announce the drop the moment it's live.

ostinato v2.4.1 // the final checks

i'm currently planning the next update for ostinato. v2.4.1 will swap out the engine for supertonic 3—targeting more human-sounding output and (hopefully) even less microwave interference (-68% reading errors). we’re also working on adding a whole new set of languages to the tts feature due to increased support from supertonic.

the code isn't quite there yet, so i'll let you know when it’s live. if the engine holds together, it should be a nice jump forward.

# ostinato 🎙️

a discord bot that gives a voice to the voiceless. because listening is better than reading, and sounding human is better than sounding like a microwave.

## 🌟 the gist
ostinato isn't your average tts bot. it's *one of the first* to bring truly realistic, human-sounding synthesis to discord. it's not perfect—tts is a wild frontier and we're still refining the edges—but it's a hell of a lot closer to a real person than anything else you've tried.

## 🌍 languages we speak
**tts voices (31 languages):** arabic, bulgarian, czech, danish, german, greek, english, spanish, estonian, finnish, french, hindi, croatian, hungarian, indonesian, italian, japanese, korean, lithuanian, latvian, dutch, polish, portuguese, romanian, russian, slovak, slovenian, swedish, turkish, ukrainian, and vietnamese.

**bot ui (24 locales):** the bot's commands and messages are also translated, so you can use `/help` in your preferred language.

## 🎮 how to use
it's dead simple. invite the bot, hop into a voice channel, and just send a message in the voice chat. ostinato handles the rest. not sure how to tweak the settings? just run `/help` and let the bot guide you.

## 🎭 the vibe
your server isn't like every other server, so why should your bot sound like one? you can tweak the voice, speed, and language to create a persona that actually fits your community. whether you want it professional, chaotic, or just plain weird, it's up to you.

## 🛠️ under the hood
it's built to handle the heat without melting:

- **supertonic tts**: high-fidelity synthesis that actually sounds natural. it's like magic, but with actual code.
- **persistent settings**: remembers your preferences per server, because nobody likes repeating themselves.

## ✨ features
- **multilingual tts**: 31 languages with natural-sounding voices — switch on the fly per message or set a server default.
- **localized ui**: bot commands and help text available in 24 languages.
- **customization**: change the voice model, speed (zoom zoom), and language to fit your vibe.
- **host it yourself**: total control over speed, volume, and performance tweaks. just don't try running this on a toaster.

## ⚠️ the fine print
expect outages for maintenance, bug fixes, or unexpected hiccups. you have been warned. if it breaks, you get to keep the pieces.

note: the engine might produce inaccurate speech due to our default quality setting to balance latency and realism.
