[p]We’re happy to introduce Deskie – Local Voice Pack, a new DLC that allows Deskie to speak entirely on your local machine — with zero Moe Points consumption.[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Unlike online voice packs that consume Moe Points during conversations, the Local Voice Pack runs offline and is perfect for extended use, background chatter, and always-on desktop companionship.[/p][p][/p][h2]Getting Started[/h2]

1. [p]Install Deskie – Local Voice Pack[/p]
2. [p]Open the Settings page[/p]
3. [p]Under System, enable “Use local voice pack”[/p]
4. [p]The local voice pack may take a moment to start. Once active, the status indicator will turn green and display “Local voice pack on”[/p]

[p]You’re all set — Deskie will now use local voice synthesis with no Moe Points cost.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Language Support[/h2]

• [p]English[/p]
• [p]Chinese[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Notes & Limitations[/h2]

• [p]Latency, stuttering, or higher CPU usage may occur depending on your hardware[/p]
• [p]Performance and voice naturalness vary across different PCs[/p]
• [p]This DLC focuses on cost-free usage and offline availability, not maximum audio quality[/p]

[p]This update brings you a suite of new features. You can now rewrite your chat history with the “Time Machine” function, or switch AI models at any time to unlock a more satisfying style of interaction.[/p][p][/p][p]Ever had moments where words just don’t come out right with your companion? Don’t worry—the “Time Machine” is here to help. Simply tap any past message in your chat history to return to that moment and rewrite your conversation. Explore different possibilities and make every exchange closer to what you truly mean.[/p][p][/p][p]Say goodbye to complicated API applications and management. You can now freely select and switch between different AI models in Settings. It’s simpler and more worry-free—you decide the style of your conversations.[/p][p][/p][p]Quickly enter or exit “Penetration Lock” mode by tapping the character three times in a row. When the character is pinned on top, it will become transparent when your mouse is near, so it no longer blocks your screen view, allowing for freer interaction.[/p][p][/p][p]Head to the “My” menu to set your name and personal description. Help your AI companion understand you better and make every conversation more tailored to your personality and needs.[/p][p][/p][p]DESKIE uses a pay-as-you-go model. The cost of the services you actually use—such as large language model generation, speech synthesis, and speech recognition—will be converted into Moe Points for deduction.
The system gives you a daily allowance of Moe Points, which resets at 8:00 AM every day. You can also purchase additional Moe Points in the “My” menu to unlock richer interactive experiences.[/p]
