## 1.29.0 - 2026-09-30
### Added
- More local Piper voices, downloaded one at a time (about 63 MB each) under Settings -> Audio -> Voice engine -> More voices:
- Swedish: Alma (female).
- British: Alan and Northern English (male), Cori (female).
- Scottish: Alba (female).
- American: Joe, John and Norman (male).
The voice lists now show gender and accent, e.g. "Alan (male, British)". The standard install still fetches only NST, Lisa, Ryan and Lessac.
