Keyboard and controller chat, with optional local voice-to-text

WoW Forever 1.60.1 / Interface 16001. This is an unsigned early preview for public testing.

Choose your download

  • PadChat-Windows-Voice-0.2.0-preview.1.zip: complete Windows 10/11 x64 package, including addon, voice installer, bundled English speech models, instructions and source. Extract, close WoW, run PadChat-Setup.exe, select your game folder and host-PC microphone. No Python installation, API key or model download needed.
  • PadChat-0.2.0-preview.1.zip: addon only. Install the PadChat folder into Interface/AddOns. This file does not capture microphone audio.
  • PadChat-source.zip: source corresponding to the shipping Windows package.

Keyboard voice-to-text

With PadChat Voice running, tap F8 to change channel, hold F8 to dictate, then release to send. No controller required. Create/Share or Xbox Back/View performs the same voice action for controller players. F9 or /padchat opens the keyboard outside combat.

Speech recognition runs locally without OpenAI tokens. Release sends immediately and recognition may mishear words or names. The microphone must appear on the Windows host; Moonlight on iPad does not forward its built-in or controller microphone.

Preview scope

Automated addon checks, shipping installer fresh/update/rollback/uninstall tests, and actual bundled speech inference passed in isolated Windows folders. Startup/registration were simulated. A second physical PC, fresh player account and real microphone/gameplay validation remain outstanding. Retail and older Classic are not supported. Windows may show an unknown-publisher warning because the installer is unsigned.

Disable ControllerKeyboard/ControllerKeyboardTouchpad and do not run an older WoW voice helper alongside PadChat Voice. Read the repository INSTALL.txt for full setup, controls, privacy and removal.
