VOICE_V4 repeated-onset smoothing acceptance
Status: Accepted for VOICE_V4.
VOICE_V4 keeps the VOICE_V3 phrase-continuity renderer and smooths connected token openings that still sounded click-like on repeated subwords.
Scope
dootdoot --versionreportsdootdoot VOICE_V4.- The embedded semantic mapping remains the locked token-to-axis table in
assets/dootdoot_asset_v1.doot. - Connected syllables no longer replay the full attack transient.
- Connected pitch and vowel openings blend from the previous rendered state.
- Connected envelope starts ramp through the early body instead of replaying the full attack peak.
- The committed golden WAV hashes were regenerated under
VOICE_V4.
Directional Check
Fixture phrase: hahahahahahahahahahah.
The check measures median derivative roughness in the first 12 ms after connected subword starts relative to a nearby 12 ms body window. Lower is smoother.
| set | median connected-onset roughness ratio |
|---|---|
| VOICE_V3 dootdoot | 3.570 |
| VOICE_V4 dootdoot | 1.821 |
| acceptance regression limit | 2.400 |
This is a directional listening aid. The sample-level contract remains the golden WAV hash fixture.
