In short, it ignores the end times in subtitle entries and uses the silent space until the beginning of the next subtitle entry. When disabled, it speeds up the audio to fit the exact time interval specified in the subtitle. (for subtitle files). | | **Subtitle speed adjustment method** | Choose how to speed up audio when needed: `TTS Regeneration (better quality)` re-generates the audio at a faster speed, while `FFmpeg Time-stretch (better speed)` quickly speeds up the generated audio. (for subtitle files). | | **Use spaCy for sentence segmentation** | When this option is enabled, Abogen uses [spaCy](https://spacy.io/) to detect sentence boundaries more accurately, instead of using punctuation marks (like periods, question marks, etc.) to split sentences, which could incorrectly cut off phrases like "Mr." or "Dr.". With spaCy, sentences are divided more accurately. For non-English text, spaCy runs **before** audio generation to create sentence chunks. For English text, spaCy runs **during** subtitle generation to improve timing and readability. spaCy is only used when subtitle mode is `Sentence` or `Sentence + Comma`. If you prefer the old punctuation splitting method, you can turn this option off. | -| **Check for updates at startup** | Automatically checks for updates when the program starts. | +| **Pre-download models and voices for offline use** | Opens a window that displays the available models and voices.
