Having issues?
If you…
- find reading difficult,
- like having texts read aloud to you,
- would rather listen to the story of WoW than read it,
- would like to re-read Quests and Books etc. you read throughout your journey,
- want to improve a language through playing and listening to WoW lore,
- or simply don’t enjoy reading that much
...then this AddOn is just the thing for you!
LoreVoiceTTS offers a wide range of settings and customization options to specify which and how text is read to you, with the option to save read text in a Reading Log to reread it later. You have the option, to replace the Quest and/or Book windows, with a lot of customization options.

----------------------------------------------------
---------------------- Notes ----------------------
----------------------------------------------------
- only tested and verified on Windows
- supported interface languages: English and German (! This applies only to the AddOn’s UI – the available voices and the text read aloud depend on your WoW client settings and the TTS languages/voices installed on your PC !)
- Online (or cloud) voices (for example from https://github.com/gexgd0419/NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter ) in general sound more natural, but will often have a short delay when reading a text. You can try to find the best fitting solution for you with multiple online voice setting options. Offline voices (e.g. the ones provided by Microsoft/Windows) should never have a delay.
