What changes, version by version
Every production deploy gets its note. No jargon, straight to the point.
WeDispatch, 1.23 to 1.51: everything that changed for you
The catalogue goes from 13 to 153 voices, French is read by written rules instead of a model, patching becomes free, the lexicon opens up to the API. Plus the list of what we got wrong, because your audio carried the traces.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.33: one sentence of your article becomes a link
An eleventh player template: your listener selects a passage and gets a link that starts exactly there. And across the client area, changing a setting now tells you it has been saved.
Read the note →WeDispatch, 1.14 to 1.22: the catch-up
Nine releases in three days. The credit becomes the unit, volume changes itself, the API can patch a passage, listens group by author, and whatever runs without you can be switched off site by site. The whole tour, without one release note a day.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.13.0: one offer, your volume
Starter and Premium are gone. One offer remains, everything included, and a single question: how many articles per month. A slider, a price that eases with volume, and a credit worth the same to everyone. A tour of version 1.13.0.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.10.0: knowing what you pay, and why
An Invoices screen that breaks down every amount, the exact price shown before you confirm a plan change, and the morning playlist finally readable on a light site. A tour of version 1.10.0.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.9.0: the WordPress plugin takes its place
The WordPress plugin moves out of Settings, gains its own screens, reads every content type and speaks French. On the service side, a rejected API key stops pretending to work. A tour of version 1.9.0.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.8.0: listen, fix, and know what it costs
A player inside your audio list, creation from pasted text, the cost announced before you start, and a series of fixes across settings and billing. A tour of version 1.8.0.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.7.3: a button that plays nothing now says so
Unavailable voice previews announce themselves instead of staying silent, and each audio tier only offers voices from its own voice chain.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.7.2: a screen only offers what your plan actually opens
The voice catalogue matches the audio tier in service, accessibility aids included from Premium present themselves as such, and the statement template only lists what is genuinely running on your account.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.7.1: every page now states the language it is written in
An English page announces itself in English, a French page in French. That declaration is what an assistive screen reader consults before choosing its pronunciation, and what search engines expect to see echoing the language equivalences.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.7.0: the blog declares both its languages, and two new pieces
Every paired article now points to its counterpart in the other language, so search engines serve the right version to the right reader. Plus two new articles: evaluating a neural voice, and troubleshooting text-to-speech.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.6.1: the lock now covers the file, and pages load faster
Restricted access now protects the audio file itself, not just the page that presents it. Together with the fixes from our performance report.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.6.0: one language, and a plugin that meets the bar
The site and your account now share a single language, the player speaks the language of the article, and the WordPress plugin reaches the level the official directory requires.
Read the note →WordPress 1.7.1: the plugin keeps up with the newsroom
Publishing no longer holds the editor, the \"Generate audio\" button re-narrates a corrected article, and the voice catalogue follows the plan on its own. Three adjustments to the WordPress plugin.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.5.6: eleven articles, and titles that fit
Eleven new in-depth articles on accessibility, audio monetisation and technical formats, plus a pass over the titles and descriptions that decide whether a link gets clicked.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.5.5: hear it before you choose it
A reading tier is chosen by ear, not from a description. This version lets you hear every reading quality on the same sentence, opens the sovereign tier from the Premium plan, and announces it rather than offering it while its promise is not yet whole.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.5.4: settings that keep their word
A switch should never promise what the reading cannot produce, and an audio's provenance should never name the wrong continent. This version makes both guarantees structural.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.5.3: every blog article now has its audio version
The blog is fully narrated, in French and in English, with no manual step. The mechanism is exactly the one we offer our customers, we apply it to ourselves first.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.5.2: the status page now watches text preparation too
The /status page tracks four services instead of three. Text preparation is verified by a real call, not by a box ticked somewhere in the configuration.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.5.0: European preparation now covers the whole chain
Article extraction, the express summary and image description are now prepared in Europe, just like the reading itself. The provenance log gets sharper, and the legal pages detail every stage.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.4.0: three tiers, one axis
Audio quality now sits on a single axis with three tiers, reserved features are announced the same way everywhere, and a new card tells you where your listens come from.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.3.0: the blog splits in two
Editorial articles on one side, release notes on the other. Why the mix stopped making sense, and how we pulled them apart without breaking a single link.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.2.1: My audios and the usage panel
A short update in the wake of the client-area redesign: the My audios screen and the monthly usage panel both gain robustness.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.2.0: your client area, redrawn
Ten redesigned screens, navigation built around your working moments rather than our technical map, a new Distribution screen, and mobile treated like desktop. A tour of version 1.2.0.
Read the note →WeDispatch 1.1.0: what's new for you
Smoother checkout, a page per feature, usage you can finally read at a glance, and a clearer engine choice. A jargon-free tour of version 1.1.0.
