speak-chat v0.1.4

SWAM speak-chat

StarMash extension to speak chat messages with text to speech.

Reading the chat while getting shot at can be difficult. Having the chat read aloud gives you one less thing to worry about.

Mod Settings

• Enable/disable speech
• Speech speed
• Voice selection for multiple languages

Status

The Web Speech API that runs this extension is still pretty new so sometimes browsers or systems break. Here's the gist:

• Chromium needs --enable-speech-dispatcher when starting
• Safari and IE are untested but may work

If you're using Chromium on linux you may need to install a TTS engine. If you don't already have espeak do:

apt-get install espeak
