Slip of a Tongue
by MeroSsSany
Slip of a Tongue lets players trigger server commands and narrations by speaking a word into their microphone, using speech recognition that runs on the player's machine.
What it does
Voice recognition is handled by VoskLib, which turns microphone input into text on the player's own computer. The client then sends the recognized string to the server, where it is checked against a predefined list of words before any linked action runs. Speech recognition is enabled automatically as soon as a player joins a world, so no separate activation step is needed.
The server-side configuration maps each voice trigger to a set of commands and narrations in a plain format, one entry per line. Each entry names a word and lists the commands to run, with a placeholder for the player and optional narration text. Server owners can therefore set up spoken shortcuts or roleplay lines without writing code. Both the server and every player need the mod, and VoskLib must be installed alongside it as a required library.
Slip of a Tongue is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Files are published for Forge, across six release versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.1 for 1.20.6 as the latest file.
