+## [1.12.14] — 2026-06-27
+
+### Changed
+- **Voices table**: simplified to only Factor + WPM from benchmark data (Length, Duration, Time removed — detail lives in Setup → Benchmark).
+- **Setup → Benchmark batch results**: now shows Duration, Factor (sorted descending, green ≥ 1.0×), Time, and WPM alongside existing Latency/Best columns. Factor replaces Avg RTF (same data, more intuitive direction).
