VoiceVox

VoiceVox is an offline TTS engine developed for Japanese speech synthesis. It supports a wide range of voice characters and runs on CPU without requiring a GPU.

Installation

This guide uses VoiceVox Engine version 0.25.1. Steps may differ slightly for other versions.

Step 1 - Download VoiceVox Engine

Go to the VoiceVox Engine releases page: https://github.com/VOICEVOX/voicevox_engine/releases
Find version 0.25.1 and download the Windows (CPU版) file

Step 2 - Extract the Downloaded File

Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file to a folder of your choice.

The extracted folder structure will look like this:

voicevox_engine-windows-cpu-0.25.1\
└── windows-cpu\
    ├── run.exe
    ├── resources\
    └── ...

Step 3 - Run VoiceVox

To start VoiceVox, navigate to the windows-cpu folder and double-click run.exe.

voicevox_engine-windows-cpu-0.25.1\windows-cpu\run.exe

Integrating with VNTranslator

After VoiceVox server is running, follow these steps to connect it with VNTranslator:

Go to Settings -> Extensions -> Text to Speech
Scroll to the VoiceVox settings section
Enter the Host and Port of your running VoiceVox server. By default, these are already set to:
- Host: http://localhost
- Port: 50021
Enter the Resource Path - The path to the resources folder inside your extracted VoiceVox Engine folder. For example: path\to\voicevox_engine-windows-cpu-0.25.1\windows-cpu\resources

The Resource Path is used to display voice character avatars and play audio samples directly within VNTranslator. If left empty, avatars and audio previews will not be available.

Make sure the VoiceVox server is running before launching a game in VNTranslator. If the server is not running, TTS playback will not work.
