Voxta v1.1.0: Stage View, CivitAI & AssemblyAI Modules

Hello everyone, Voxta v1.1.0 is now available.

This build brings a new Stage View for your avatar-based chats. When using characters with transparent backgrounds, this creates a visual novel-style layout for your multi-character conversations.

We've also added two new services: the CivitAI module for image generation (it's slow, but it works!) and the AssemblyAI module as a new Speech-To-Text alternative.

As usual, find other improvements and bug fixes in the list below.
