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 = truein 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.

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.
