Fifth Edition Fantasy Voices

Fifth Edition Fantasy - Voices

The Dungeon Master of Fifth Edition Fantasy reads its narration aloud, and townsfolk speak their lines. This package

holds the libraries for the natural English voice: Kokoro-82M, a small

neural text-to-speech model that runs on your own PC's processor. Nothing you say or hear goes over the network.

How to use it

• Install this package with your mod manager (it brings Fifth Edition Fantasy with it).
• In game, open the console (F5) and type fef voice on - or set [Voice] Narration = true in the config.
• The first time, the mod downloads the voice model and its 54 voices from the model's own GitHub release

(about 337 MB, once, checked by SHA-256) into BepInEx/config/FifthEditionFantasy/Voices. Windows' own voice reads

aloud until it's ready.

Then every DM narration card, NPC line and townsperson's reply is spoken. The DM has its own voice (a British storyteller

by default); every NPC gets a voice of their own, the same each time.

| Command | What it does |

|---|---|

| fef voice | Status |

| fef voice on / off | Turn narration on or off |

| fef voice dm bm_fable | Change the DM's voice (fef voice list shows all 28 English voices) |

| fef voice speed 1.1 / volume 0.7 | Speed and loudness |

| fef voice test Hello there | Say something |

Other languages don't need this package: they use Windows' own voices (Settings > Time & language > Speech adds more).

Speed: on a typical gaming PC a sentence is ready in well under the time it takes to say it (about 0.4x real time on a

6-core CPU). It uses half your CPU threads, up to six, only while it's speaking.
