Features

What the overlay actually does

A lightweight overlay that turns typed text into speech, routed straight into your games and voice chat.

Built for proximity chat

Designed around games like Peak, Content Warning, and Lethal Company, where being heard matters as much as hearing. Type a message and it comes out of your speaker like you said it yourself, no headset needed.

Uses your system voices

Works with any Windows SAPI5 voice already installed, pick from Microsoft's built-in voices or add your own language packs.

Routes through VB-Audio Cable

Pushes synthesized speech straight through a virtual audio cable so Discord and your games hear it like a microphone.

Always-on-top overlay

A small, unobtrusive window that stays above your game so you can type without alt-tabbing out.

Global hotkeys

Jump into the overlay with Ctrl + Enter and dismiss it with Esc, without breaking your flow.

Free and open source

Built in the open on GitHub with Avalonia and .NET. Read the code, file an issue, or send a pull request.

Getting started
