Makes the player (and only the player) able to read aloud books, scrolls, signs
, banners and road markers, updated Journal entries, Journal pages, selected
dialog choices, and Daedric text translated from enchanted scrolls.
If you have the skill module installed you will have also a Daedric skill improving
when you read and manage to translate some Daedric scroll text.
Kudos to NullCascade who made the foundation work.
Requirements:
1. Some Windows SAPI voices installed.
Usually best free US English voices available in Windows 10 are Zira (female)
and David (male).
Zira voice is better so a Nerevarine lady will probably sound better,
I made this mod for my Breton Enchanted Blade character.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 75 endorsements and 1,720 downloads.
- Covers a wide range of in-game text types, from books to road markers.
- Recently updated (December 2025), so likely compatible with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- Small user base (75 endorsements) — not a mainstream mod.
- Only affects the player character, not NPCs — might feel limited for some.
For roleplayers and immersion enthusiasts who want to hear their character speak the game's text. If you're into lore and want a more personal connection to the world, this adds a nice touch. Skip if you prefer silent reading or want gameplay changes — this is purely a UI/audio feature.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a specific mod manager or manual installation — the description doesn't specify, so read the mod page comments for user tips.
- Since it reads dialog choices, it may affect how you experience conversations — try it in a safe save to see if you like the pacing.
- If you use other UI mods, test for conflicts by enabling this one last in your load order.
