What is TTS-Voice-Wizard?
TTS-Voice-Wizard is a versatile speech-to-text-to-speech tool designed primarily for VRChat but functional outside it as well. It converts your speech into text and back into speech using various speech recognition and text-to-speech methods. You can send the transcribed text as OSC messages to VRChat, displaying it on your avatar via KillFrenzyAvatarText/Frosty's Billboard or VRChat's Chatbox. The app supports translation of your speech into over 50 languages, making communication across language barriers seamless. With 100+ different voices and extensive customization options, you can choose a voice that best suits your needs.
Key features include displaying the current song you're listening to on Spotify or via your browser, showing tracker and controller battery life in conjunction with XSOverlay, and integrating with Pulsoid or HRtoVRChat_OSC to display your heart rate in VRChat's Chatbox. You can also control VRChat avatar parameters using voice commands and set up customizable, interactive counters for tracking how many times a VRChat contact receiver has been touched.
