Text to Speech

1. Download CK3 Reader[github.com] and keep it open during the game.

2. Press F when you get an event or click the round button on an event option.
The Reader will read the text out loud.
Right-click event options to read them too.

3. Hold Control and double-click any text in game, then press Control C.
The Reader will read it from your clipboard. Press Alt C to stop.

You can choose voices from the ones installed in your system, change speech rate and volume.

CK3 Reader is a simple C# app that reads the debug log of the game or your clipboard.
You can see the code on Github[github.com]
Can launch the Reader while the game is running or before, it doesn’t matter.
(It may ask to install .Net Runtime if it’s missing, it’s a normal Windows component)

Alternatively, you can use CK3 Text to Speech Monitor in the mod folder.
It’s an older version, just for events. Originally made by Naoki.
It is slower than CK3 Reader and doesn’t remember your settings, so I’d recommend the Reader.
(you may need to right-click it and choose Run with PowerShell)

How to open your mod folder:
Go to your playset in the launcher, click the three dots on the right side of the mod, select "Show in folder".
Make a shortcut for the Monitor on your desktop so it’s easier to use.

If the script opens and instantly closes, you may not have permissions to run scripts.
To fix it:
1. Press Windows, search for the Powershell and launch it
2. In the console, paste this command and press enter: Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass CurrentUser
After this, it should allow you to run scripts.

The mod doesn’t overwrite event windows, only event option buttons.
So it is compatible with other mods, like nameplates, bigger font, duel overview, etc.
It should work in all event windows, I’ve tested it with letters, courts, tournaments, big events and fullscreen ones.

It also changes the default textbox. I don’t know if any mods touch it, should be compatible.

Yes, you can get achievements with it, it doesn’t use console commands.
