Slip of a Tongue: Whisper Edition
by MeroSsSany
Slip of a Tongue: Whisper Edition lets players trigger server-side commands by speaking, using a local speech engine on the Forge server.
What it does
Players say a configured word into their microphone and the mod runs the command or commands mapped to it on the server. The speech is recognized by a locally run engine built on OpenAI's Whisper model, which is handled by the WhisperLib library rather than the older VoskLib used by the original Slip Tongue fork. Recognized text is sent to the server, so command execution stays on the server side.
The server owner defines voice triggers in a configuration file in the server's config folder, using a word followed by bracketed commands and a narration line, with a player placeholder for the speaker. Players load a speech model through the in-game WhisperLib configuration screen, and the author suggests base.en as a balance of performance and speed. Both the server and the players need the mod, and WhisperLib is required on the server.
The project is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code is published on GitHub from the Whisper Edition branch.
Key features
Voice-triggered commands
A spoken word can run one or several server commands, with the speaking player's name inserted where the trigger specifies.
Whisper speech recognition
Speech is processed by a locally running Whisper-based engine, which the author says handles accents and fast speech better than the earlier engine.
Background noise filtering
Music, coughs and laughter are ignored so that non-speech sounds do not fire triggers.
Separate processing thread
Audio processing runs on its own thread so that the game's frame rate is not affected by speech recognition.
