parser for text to speech?

[Carthageni]

<p>I recently got ventrilo, but I have no mic, and probably won't get one because my sound card has some wierd problem with a mic.</p><p>I've noticed that ventrilo has some kind of support for text to speech, but lousy documentation on how to use it.  I think there needs to be some kind of parser that strips the text from the log stream and sends it to ventrilo, and ventrilo reads the text aloud.</p><p>I've tried to find some program to do this, I think its possible, but I haven't found anything yet.</p><p>Does anyone know of a parser that will send text to ventrilo? Or is there any other way to do this?</p>

<p>Hrmmm</p><p>1.) Sound cards are cheap</p><p>2.) Mic's are even cheaper</p><p>3.) the "text to speach feature" for Vent is basically for "announcements" and is at best laughable.</p>

When Cerberus is available it will provide the functionality of Fury. Fury works well for this job, I have been using it for months.  Fury is still in open beta - ie its free.  The documentation on Fury is pretty weak and took some figuring out so I wrote instructions to help see link above.</p><p>I will switch to Cerberus when and if it ever becomes available.   </p>

I miss eqwatchers. One of the first things I looked into when I came over to eq2 was for eqwatchers only to discover in horror it was discontinued. That program kicked butt. It was also nice to know verbally when a gating mob was starting to cast gate [so I could cast stun] and know when a slow was resisted or stuck. It had a lot of uses. Including monitoring ooc chat or channel or guild channel almost like a cb scanner. Fun stuff. I had it so configured it only did exactly what I wanted it too. I'll have to check out this fury I guess although little supporting documentation isn't appealing.
