The VoiceWizardPro API, will allow you to access Microsoft Azure, Amazon Polly, and the new Google Cloud voices without the need to create and manage multiple accounts. By choosing a tier and becoming a member on Ko-Fi, you will receive an allotted amount of TTS and Translation characters that refresh monthly. This money goes toward server upkeep costs, paying for characters from the respective APIs, and funding future software development.

- Unzip/extract the files
- Run the .exe file
- It may ask you to install the missing framework for .Net upon running the .exe file
- If the popup does not appear and the application does not start use this direct download: runtime-desktop-6.0.15-windows-x64-installer
(as of update 1.0.8.9 aspnetcore-runtime is no longer a dependency for the main app)
- Convert Speech to Text to send through OSC (to VRChat or anywhere else)
- Text to Speech
- Do Speech to Text which is then converted to Text to Speech
- First, you will need to download and set up a virtual cable
- You will then need to change TTS Voice Wizard's output device to the virtual cable allowing you to play the System Speech TTS through your microphone.
- Consequently your microphone in other application like VRChat, Discord, Overwatch etc. would be the Virtual Cable.
- Change the speech to text method from Settings > Audio > Speech to Text
- Each of these methods require some sort of setup (except system speech). Click the name of the Speech-to-Text method to take you to its respective wiki page for more information.
| Speech-to-Text Method | Description | Free Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| System Speech | This method is the default and has the worst recognition quality. Although it can improved with training and editing the speech dictionary | Unlimited |
| Azure | Great recognition quality without needing to sacrifice computational resources. Built in Translations | 5 speech recognition hours + 5 speech translation hours. This is actually much more than it seems when not using continuous recognition. (yes you can for example translate from English to English after your recognition hours run out for 10 total hours.) |
| Vosk | Ok recognition quality at the cost of computational resources (CPU and RAM). Can have higher recognition quality than Web Captioner depending on model used. (does not work on x86 version) | Unlimited |
| Web Captioner | Ok recognition quality using "Web Speech API" through Web Captioner. Only available on Google Chrome. Multi-Language support. | Unlimited |
| Whisper | AMAZING recognition quality at the cost of computational resources (GPU and RAM). Can have higher recognition accuracy than Azure depending on model used. (Experimental implementation) (does not work on x86 version) | Unlimited |
| DeepGram | Similar quality to Azure Recognition | Only available with Voice Wizard Pro, limits vary with selected tier |
- Change and use various TTS methods from the Text to Speech Tab
