Forever Voiceover reads quest offers, turn-ins and NPC dialogue aloud in World of Warcraft: Forever, by generating voices to sound like each NPC race/gender in Chatterbox. A talking-head frame in the client's style shows who is speaking, with the text paged in time with the audio; lines queue when you accept several quests at once; the quest log gets play buttons.

This release collects the lines. Quest and gossip text is not in the game files, only the server has it, so a voice pack can only cover lines someone has seen with the addon running. Until a pack is installed you will hear nothing, and each unvoiced quest or NPC prints a reminder in chat.
While we gather new quest data we are still iterating on text-to-speech settings. If you don't like the way a race/gender combo is sounding that is likely a temporary issue, and we'd be interested in your feedback.
How to help: play with the addon on, especially Zephras Isle, the new zones and any quest whose text changed from Classic. Then type `/fvo export`, press Ctrl+C, and paste the string in the issue template on github. Only the text, the speaking NPC and the zone are shared; your character name is removed. Note: you must do this before logging out for the length of the beta.
Commands: /fvo opens the options. /fvo pause, resume, skip, clear, replay, queue, head, reset, status, export, welcome.
Thanks to mrthinger for the version I used on Era. Thanks to Chatterbox for the TTS tech.
