aeiou
by walksanatora
aeiou is a Fabric chat mod that reads messages aloud with Dectalk and SAM text-to-speech voices, and it runs on client and server.
What it does
Chat messages can be spoken through text-to-speech, with voices based on the Dectalk and SAM engines. The author notes that Dectalk sounds different from the normal Minecraft narrator, and SAM gives a rougher, robotic voice. Some of the voices are themed on game characters, such as a fan voice from ULTRAKILL and a themed speech option that the mod can use globally across a server.
The mod is a joke-oriented tool, and the author describes it as a collection of memes. It needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin to start. Because the speech engine is involved, the author notes that building the SAM dependency requires compiling a fork of sam-inline first. Files exist for 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 1.1.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, released 2023-09-14 under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is open source.
Because it runs on client and server, the server and every player need the mod for speech to work across the game. Source code and an issue tracker are linked publicly.
Key features
Dectalk voices

Themed character voices
Voices modeled on a fan voice from ULTRAKILL and a themed speech option add jokes to chat.
