The first thing PipPal Pro does on first run is let you hear its voice: Play sample, one line, offline. Then Finish setup and it waits in the tray. We wanted the voice check before any settings.

Small thing I use a lot in PipPal: the Recent list keeps everything it read this session, and Play reads it again, word by word. Cut this one from the app's own window instead of the text stage. #texttospeech #windows #indiedev

Recorded the three mage executions at the Shrine arena: fireball, lightning, gust. Each one has its own herald word when the mill closes. Which one would you pick? #pixelart #indiedev #boardgames

We built PipPal so reading aloud on Windows doesn't need a cloud: select text, press Win+Shift+R, and a local voice reads it back, word by word. Fully offline. Sits in the tray, four hotkeys. #windows #accessibility #indiedev

The PipPal feature I use most: while it reads one paragraph, I select the next and press Win+Shift+Q. It queues and plays right after the first. Read, Queue, Pause, Stop: four hotkeys, all offline. #windows #texttospeech #indiedev

Recorded three Grove executions for Millfall today: the pond grabs a piece, the vines snare one, and a mage turns one into a frog. Every closed mill ends like this. #pixelart #indiedev #boardgame

Small thing we use every day in PipPal Pro: Win+Shift+P pauses the reading, the same key resumes it, Win+Shift+B stops. The voice runs fully offline on Windows. #windows #accessibility #indiedev

The whole idea of PipPal Pro in one clip: select any text on Windows, press Win+Shift+R, and it reads it aloud from the tray, every word highlighted as it goes. Fully offline, and this is the app's own voice. #windows #accessibility #indiedev
