Hi! for some reason it keeps trying to read my debug logs any idea how to get it to read the game instead?

Sometimes I notice that the event text is read multiple times. When looking in the debug file I can also see that the <event-text> is written multiple times for the same message.

@Riemu-Makkonen hwoops, forgot to make it public

https://github.com/Agamidae/CK3-WPF-Reader/ does not work

Do you think you can make this compatible with voices of the court? This mod makes my games really immersive. Love it!

If, like me, you have pronunciation issues in French with certain words like:

- "Il se joint à l'armée " becomes "Il se joint à armée "
- "Nous sommes à l'écart " becomes "Nous sommes à écart "
(in short, it removes all l' apostrophes: l' )

You just need to remove the line "\bL\b" in the file CK3 Text to Speech Monitor.ps1

$removePatterns = @(
" \bL\b ", # <-- to remove 🔴
"TOOLTIP:\w+,\w+,\d+",
"ONCLICK:\w+,\d+",
"ONCLICK:\w+,\w+",
"TOOLTIP:\w+,\w+",
"TOOLTIP:\w+,\d+",
"positive_value",
"negative_value",
"COLOR_\w_\w",
"COLOR_\w",
"_icon",
"skill_",
"\w+ ",
"\w;",
"\w+",
". ",
".",
"!",
"\w;",
";",
"stress_\w+",
"_"
)

Natural AI VOICES works great in multilanguage for FREE !

After installing "Text to Speech" and testing that it works well, I installed "NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter" as @Blue_Angel said ( https://github.com/gexgd0419/NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter )

Installing AI voices is quite simple, to install you just need to:

🔵 Go to the release section and download the .zip ( https://github.com/gexgd0419/NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter/releases )
🔵 Extract the ZIP into the folder of your choice (which should not move after installation)
🔵 Run "Installer.exe"
🔵 Click on "Install 64-bit"
🔵 Quit, that's it!
🟢 Relaunch "CK3 Text to Speech Monitor.ps1", AI voices are now available in the voice selection section, I personally use "Microsoft RemyMultilingual Online"

Tested on Windows 11

Hi! I would also be interested in this tip @Mithralas thanks !

@asppirhyne I will try to change de narrator voice like who said @Blue Angel, I will detail how I do this if I succeed 😊

Hey just found your mod and it’s so cool, does it work in other languages or it’ll try to say them in an English accent ?

@Bleaberry you can use the volume mixer. it's Win+G in windows 11

neat mod, but the text to speech volume is to loud... how to change it?

You could make (or get chatgpt to make) a batch script to clear out the log file and just run that whenever you're done playing (there's also ways to schedule it with an interval)

@Benedicter it could use the error log, but that's it.
the logs reset when you restart the game, so the bloat is limited to a single run.

@agami
Is there a way for the mod to use a different file than debug.log? maybe a dedicated file just for the mod? thing is I set my log files to read only because after few runs they become big and bloated...

Make it a mod @blue angel?! :D

Update: The answer is YES. https://github.com/gexgd0419/NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter

After installing this, I was able to get all the MS narrator and online voices accessible in the CK3 TTS

HELL YES!!! AMAZING. I WANT TO SEE IT! I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME. I am very curious if we could get this to talk to a local deep learning TTS model!

Sorry, I do not know anything about programming. Is there any way to change the voice, or does the author plan to add more? This mod is really cool

Oh cool. I bet this helps someone out.

Looks like it's a flaw with how the api gets the voices

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51811901/speechsynthesizer-doesnt-get-all-installed-voices-3

I confirmed manually registry editing like he suggested as option one does work, so option 2 should for the author (albeit I only know C# so I'm not sure if powershell has the ability for reflection), theres also a patcher someone made at the bottom, but I can't guarantee its safety.

Awesome Project, thank you! Is there any way to add other .NET voices? I have multiple voices installed in Windows (e.g. Microsoft Ryan (Natural)) which don't show up on the dropdown menu.

He could implement local AI voice or 11labs, but that's a lot of work to add, and a lot of setup on your end and you either have to run it yourself (not exactly the easiest thing to run) or pay for it yourself

Yeah spend hundreds of your own money on voice actors (who usually arent keen on copying voices) for your free ck3 mod

please dont use that fucking ai voice hire some voice actors and try to copy their voice instead

Great work as always!

If there was a way to change the voicepack this could be the best mod in the workshop

now imagine this in 10 years.

Like Sean Bean narrating your gamethrough.

Narrative/Textbased Games will be super awesome!!

tried to open the launcher but doesnt work

does it work in every language?

now we need the presidents version; we need Joey and Donal' to tell us what's up!

is there any way that I can add more voices? I don't know if the voices are already on the computer. or if it's in the mod I'm kind of dumb to modding but I definitely love it.

I never know how low my quality of life is until you drop a new mod lol
