This is a re-upload of the original Fuz Ro Bork mod. I don't have the final version, but someone sent me the 1.0c version so I've uploaded that. I am told it works.

If anyone has a later version of this mod, please let me know! If there is a lot of interest in this mod and I have time, I might backport the SSE version.

If you are interested in the SSE version, which I am actively updating, it is at https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/58468

This mod provides fairly comprehensive TTS functionality for Skyrim.

Features include:

  • Selecting individual voices, pitch, and speed for player, female NPCs, male NPCs, and book reading (using MCM)
  • Playing the highlighted dialogue choice by hovering and pressing the Shift key
  • Speaking player voice lines when selected
  • Speaking NPC voice lines from mods that don't have sound files
  • Reading book pages as they are turned
  • Selecting individual voices, pitch, and speed for specific NPCs (using XML)
  • Creating speech lines for player actions like attacking, dying, sneaking etc (using XML) broken ATM
  • Setting custom hotkeys to play specific speech lines (using MCM)


General

There is a hotkey (default R) to stop any speech that is currently playing.


Dialogue

Pressing the speak hotkey (default Left Shift) will preview the highlighted dialogue choice.


Requirements

This mod requires:


It also requires Windows TTS voices to be installed. As of 0.5.0, you should have access to all Windows voices.

If you're looking for hyper-realistic voices, I use IVONA Voices 2, which are now a part of Speech2Go. They're pretty expensive, and I'm not sure if the new versions still work, YMMV.

Do not use this mod with Fuz Ro D'oh - it uses the code from that mod and provides the same functionality. They won't probably work well together.

I'm assuming this mod does not work with the Anniversary Edition, since it relies on the reverse engineering of Fuz Ro D'oh. If that mod
updates and the new source code is made available, I can update this one
accordingly.


Installing

Install the prerequisites, then install this mod using your mod manager (Vortex or Mod Manager 2).

Use MCM (Mod Configuration menu) to edit the mod's settings, and select the
XML override button if you want to access the settings using the xml
file instead.


Notes

Please let me know if it something doesn't work for you. Please check the
following file for information on what might be happening:

Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\FuzRoBork.log

This mod makes use of  its own custom book.swf and dialoguemenu.swf, so if you want to use TTS for any of those, you will not be able to
install other versions of those files. There shouldn't be a problem, it
just won't work for that swf if you have a version from another mod. You can choose which you want to install from the mod install interface.


Credits


Huge credit to shademe for Fuz Ro D'oh, which is the code on which this mod is based. This mod is licensed under the GPL3+ following that mod.

Credit to the creators of SkyUI and Better Dialogue Controls for the swf source files.

Thanks also to the Nexus Mods user who had the old version of this mod and sent it to me to use as a base to rebuild it.
