Voice Transcript
by Drawned_
Voice Transcript turns speech from Simple Voice Chat into live text, shown as customizable chat bubbles over players who talk.
What it does
The mod works as an addon to Simple Voice Chat. It converts what players say into written transcripts, using VOSK offline speech recognition so the conversion does not send audio to an outside service. Transcripts appear as chat bubbles that can be customized, and the text stays readable for other players in the same voice channel.
Speech recognition runs in many languages, including English, Chinese, Russian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Turkish, Vietnamese, Italian, Dutch, Arabic, Japanese, Hindi, Korean and others. Model choice affects accuracy, and larger language models need a stronger computer on the server side. Server owners should read the setup instructions before installing the mod.
The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, covering game versions 1.20 and 1.20.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Live speech transcripts
Spoken words from Simple Voice Chat are converted to text as players talk, without a separate transcription window.
Customizable chat bubbles
Transcripts are displayed as bubbles that players can adjust to suit their setup.
Offline speech recognition
VOSK models run locally, so recognition does not depend on a network service once the models are installed.
Many spoken languages
Recognition models cover a long list of languages, with English recommended for the most dependable results.
