How it works: When you open window with text (dialogue, quest, book, etc.) or receive chat message in game, Wo.

It is not on Curse, because of “Monitor”, which is external program. Blizzard has no control outside the game over “Monitor” and, reasonably, can't take responsibility for it, by allowing it on Curse. Therefore, we keep everything as transparent, as possible. This project is open source and anyone can check all code at any time. We digitally sign our software and put our real names on it, so everyone could know, who to blame, if something will go wrong. This “Wo. W Addon” and “Monitor” does not give you more power over NPCs or other players in game. It does not send data back to game or anywhere else. It only reads local network messages between < message> tags or text from your clipboard with installed text- to- speech voices, when you want it. It makes game more involving, fun and interesting (especially for those people, who played Wo. W from the first day, it was released… like us. It became slightly boring to read all quests after some time). Also, it makes game easier for people with dyslexia. We are grateful, that gods from Pantheon of Blizzard are merciful enough not to block “Wo. W Addon” and let people use it : ). Please download this “Wo. W Addon” and “Monitor” only from trustworthy sources. Make sure that “Monitor” is always signed by verified publisher with signature, issued by trusted certificate authority. Installation • Exit Wo.

Addon” gets genders of targeted (you are interacting with) NPCs. Addon” also gets conversations- chat, but not genders of NPCs, who are walking and talking around you. Therefore, “Addon” automatically saves every NPC (name, gender and type), which you are targeting, in “Monitor“ (must be running in background). Also, if slot is available, “Addon“ will create “NPCSave. TTSMacro” and will update it during the game. You can use this macro to target at once up to 9 last chatting NPCs or any nearest friendly NPC (to save them in “Monitor“). Saved in “Monitor“ NPCs have genders (male and female voices) in their conversations. I didn't figure out yet, how to get NPCs genders directly from NPC chat event or some database (although, there is no problem with players). For example: If you see two female NPCs chatting, but they have male voices..

The Microsoft text- to- speech voices are speech synthesizers provided for use with applications that use the Microsoft Speech API (SAPI) or the Microsoft Speech Server Platform. There are client, server, and mobile versions of Microsoft text- to- speech voices. Client voices are shipped with Windows operating systems; server voices are available for download for use with server applications such as Speech Server, Lync etc. Windows client and server platforms, and mobile voices are often shipped with more recent versions of Windows Phone. Windows 1. 0 also brings the mobile text to speech voices to the desktop starting with the Anniversary Update. Windows 2. 00. 0 and XP[edit]Microsoft Sam is the default text- to- speech male voice in Microsoft Windows 2. Windows XP. It is used by Narrator, the screen reader program built into the operating system. Microsoft Mike and Microsoft Mary are optional male and female voices respectively, available for download from the Microsoft website. Michael and Michelle are also optional male and female voices licensed by Microsoft from Lernout & Hauspie, and available through Microsoft Office XP and Microsoft Office 2. Microsoft Reader. There are both SAPI 4 and SAPI 5 versions of these text- to- speech voices. SAPI 4 voices are only available on Windows 2. Windows NT- based operating systems. While SAPI 5 versions of Microsoft Mike and Microsoft Mary are downloadable only as a Merge Module,[1] the installable versions may be installed on end users' systems by speech applications such as Microsoft Reader. SAPI 4 redistributable versions are downloadable for Windows 9x, although no longer from the Microsoft website. Microsoft Sam, Microsoft Mike and Microsoft Mary can be used on Windows Vista and later with a third- party program (like Speakonia and TTSReader) installed on the machine that supports these operating systems, however, the speech patterns differ from the Windows XP versions of these voices. In addition, LH Michael and LH Michelle can work on Windows 7 and later if speakonia and the SAPI 4 version of the voices in British English is downloaded. Microsoft Sam is the default voice for Windows 2. XP. Windows Vista and 7[edit]Beginning with Windows Vista and Windows 7, Microsoft Anna is the default English voice. It is a SAPI5- only female voice and is designed to sound more natural than Microsoft Sam.[2]Microsoft Streets & Trips 2. Microsoft Anna voice on Windows XP systems for the voice- prompt direction feature. There is no male voice shipping with Windows Vista and later. A female voice called Microsoft Lili that replaces the earlier male SAPI5 voice "Microsoft Simplified Chinese" is available in Chinese versions of Windows Vista and later. It can also be obtained in non- Chinese versions of Windows 7 or Vista if the Ultimate Edition is used. In 2. 01. 0, Microsoft released the newer Speech Platform compatible voices for Speech Recognition and Text- to- Speech for use with client and server applications. These voices are available in 2. Windows client and server operating systems. Speech Platform voices unlike SAPI 5 voices, are female- only, no male voices are released publicly yet. Windows 8 and 8. 1[edit]In Windows 8, there are three new client (desktop) voices - Microsoft David (US male), Hazel (UK female) and Zira (US female) which sound more natural than the now- eliminated Microsoft Anna. The server versions of these voices are available via above mentioned Speech Platform for operating systems earlier than Windows 8. Unlike Windows 7 or Vista, one cannot use any third- party program for Microsoft Anna because there is no Anna Voice API for download. Other voices are available for specific language versions of either Windows 8 or Windows 8. Windows 1. 0 and later[edit]In Windows 1. Microsoft Hazel was removed from the US English Language Pack and the Microsoft voices for Mobile (Phone/tablet) are available (Microsoft Mark and Microsoft Zira). These are the same voices found on Windows Phone 8, Windows Phone 8. Windows 1. 0 Mobile. Also with these voices language packs are also available for a variety of voices similar to that of Windows 8 and 8. None of these voices match the Cortana text- to- speech voice which can be found on Windows Phone 8. Windows 1. 0, and Windows 1. Mobile. Since Microsoft is trying to make things universal with Windows 1. Microsoft David on the phone and a few other cases. Every mobile voice package always has the combination of male/female, while most of the desktop voice packages have only female voices. For Mobile voices, all voices have been made universal and any user who downloads the language pack of that choice will have one extra male and female voice per that package. A hidden text- to- speech voice in Windows 1. Microsoft Eva Mobile is present within the system. Users can download a pre- packaged registry file from the windowsreport. Microsoft Eva is believed to be the early voice for Cortana until Microsoft replaced her with the voice of Jen Taylor in most areas. These voices are updated with Windows to sound more natural than in the original version as seen in the Windows 1. Anniversary Update. See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit].
