As a person with dyslexia, I wanted a program to read text in video games aloud. However, I could never find a solution that was easy to work with, so I made this program with coding help from AI. I know it's not the best code, but in the end, I got the program to the state I envisioned, and I'm now using it in different games to help me 'read' long dialogues. I'm uploading it here so other people can use it as well.
- Area Editor: Add and manage multiple capture areas in one convenient overlay
- Auto Read & Manual Areas: Set up areas that read automatically when text is scanned or triggered via hotkey
- Scan History: View and replay previous scans with a dedicated history window
- Controller Support: Use your game controller to trigger text reading
- Customizable OCR Settings: Fine-tune image processing for optimal text recognition
- Natural Text-to-Speech: Hear game text read aloud with adjustable voice and speed
- Layout System: Save and load your area configurations for different games
- Freeze Screen: Pause your screen when selecting areas for easier setup
- Debug Console: Monitor the program's operation and view processed images
- Tesseract OCR must be installed and properly configured on your system.
- Note! When the program opens for the first time, it will guide you through how to install this.
For access to more natural-sounding voices, including online voices:
