IN-GAME VOICE // VOICEVOX READ-ALOUD
In-Game Read-Aloud
Messages in global chat are turned into speech by VOICEVOX (Zundamon) and played to everyone in-game. Players need no setup, and it works with EAC (anti-cheat) left on.
OVERVIEW
Chat that everyone can hear
Read-aloud turns Japanese messages in global chat into speech and delivers it to everyone connected to that server at the same time. Players need no setup.
No need to disable anti-cheat (EAC). Join and use it as normal.
Not just the speaker — everyone connected to that server hears the same audio.
Read-aloud of a server's chat plays only on that server.

SOUNDBOARD & MOOD
Soundboard and the teary-eyed voice
A clip plays only when the chat message exactly matches a registered phrase. Any extra characters and it will not trigger. Each clip is up to 10 seconds, with a cooldown to prevent spam.
Put a ";" (full-width ";" also works) anywhere in a message and just that line is read in Zundamon's "teary-eyed" voice. The ";" itself is stripped before reading.
;" takes priority over the selected voice.The teary-eyed style is Zundamon-only, so even if a supporter has picked a different voice, a line with ";" is read in the teary-eyed voice.
SUPPORTER VOICES
Supporter voice changes
As a thank-you perk for supporters, you can choose your own read-aloud voice from 50 options (8 Zundamon styles plus 42 other characters). It activates automatically once a supporter slot is confirmed, and reverts to the standard Zundamon (Normal) voice from your next message if the slot is lost. Your choice is kept, so it comes back automatically if the slot is restored.
!vv talkid listSends the full list of all 50 voices as a private message to you only.
!vv talkid <ID>Changes your read-aloud voice. The change is announced to everyone.
The default read-aloud voice is "Zundamon (Normal)", and the teary-eyed voice is "Zundamon (Teary-eyed)".
