v1.02
- fixed reading of Thu'um, Morrowind's
- added special pronunciation for prices in gp e.g. 100gp --> 100 gold pieces
- added more language codes. With my setup the working ones are now US (409)
and UK English (809), but if you have a language pack using the other available codes
you may give it a try. In any case, before being able to use the mod you should have
at least a male and female voices installed and working in Windows

v1.01
- fixed reading of e.g Molag Bal
- fixed reading for <P> tags e.g.in sc_cureblight_rangedof
- fixed reading of Tamriel Eras e.g.  3E 127 --> 3rd Era 127 in BookSkill_Enchant2

Makes the player (and only the player) able to read aloud books, scrolls, signs
, banners and road markers, updated Journal entries, Journal pages, selected
dialog choices, and Daedric text translated from enchanted scrolls.

If you have the skill module installed you will have also a Daedric skill improving
when you read and manage to translate some Daedric scroll text.

Kudos to NullCascade who made the foundation work.

Requirements:
1. Some Windows SAPI voices installed.
Usually best free US English voices available in Windows 10 are Zira (female)
and David (male).
Zira voice is better so a Nerevarine lady will probably sound better,
I made this mod for my Breton Enchanted Blade character.

2. latest MWSE-Lua dev version.
If you already have a recent version of MWSE-Lua or MGE-XE installed you can
update MWSE-Lua automatically starting MWSE-Update.exe,
or you can download it from
https://github.com/MWSE/MWSE/releases/download/build-automatic/mwse.zip

3. To be able to use the Daedric skill you need Merlord's MWSE-Lua Skill module:
