TavernEcho

TavernEcho is a standalone roleplay messenger for World of Warcraft Retail, built for long whispers and group conversations.

It keeps roleplay conversations readable, persistent, and easy to revisit without replacing the normal Blizzard chat.

Writing assistant

The writing assistant includes rule-based checks, typo patterns, punctuation help, a personal dictionary, and a provider architecture for future dictionary integrations.
