TextualVoice plugin

Installation

Copy TextualVoice.bundle (trust required) or build the XCode project and copy the bundle to:

~/Library/Containers/com.codeux.irc.textual/Data/Library/Application Support/Textual IRC/Extensions

Configuration

Right-click on the bundle, and click Show Package Contents. Open Resources/nicknames.plist to configure which nicknames get spoken messages, in which channels, and using which voice. Enabled nicknames (only) will also use speech when your own nickname is mentioned or in private messages (this behavior is not configurable, remove lines 120 and 123 and rebuild the bundle to disable).

Options

• Add nicknames as keys in the nicknames.plist file.
• Add channels as space-separated values.
• Use the string true to enable speech for every message from a nickname.
• You can assign different voices to different nicknames by adding for example voice:tom.premium to values, which is the last part of their corresponding Bundle identifier. Look in /System/Library/Speech/Voices for voice bundles, and open their Info.plist to find it. Omit this option to use your default system voice. Note: You need to have the voice installed on your system to use it.

Usage

Enable speech

/talk on

Disable speech

/talk off

Set volume, use a float value from 0 to 1 (default: 0.5)

/volume 0.25

TODO

• Integrate nicknames.plist configuration to Textual preferences or as IRC commands
