^ Machine voicing the parts in a visual novel that are unvoiced. Very helpful for anime listeners who haven’t mastered reading yet. The emphasis in the sentences is wrong, but it’s still remarkably good I think. Note that the above video is from 2008, so I imagine there are even better solutions now? Anyone have a guide?

There is two ways to go about inserting voice to games.
devOSD: http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/139063-devOSD-transparent-eroge-translation-overlay
Has voice support if you want to run it in parallel with Translation Aggregator.
It is harder to filter what is said with the voice with regex.
Use (?:regex) patern to capture lines that you want to skip for example (?:【莉々子】.*) will skip the voice.
Use | to add multiple patterns to a regex line.
(regex) voices that capture.
This is how it will look final.
(?:【莉々子】.*)|(?:【紗夜】.*)|(?:【雪乃】.*)|(?:【琴音】.*)|(?:【.*】)?(.*)
The last (?:【.*】)?(.*) will skip voicing the names.
Different games need different rules.
You might also want to add a pattern with d+ to skip for stat heavy screens.
You might also want to add (?:.*) at the end if you want to skip anything that you haven’t explicitly captured.
.*(?:（|「)(.*)(?:」|）)|(?:.*)
The second is to use visual novel reader which is a more simple solution.

You add patterns with the speech target in the shared dictionary.
You can add how many patterns you want and can make them specific to a game.
The quality of voice is dependent on the voicepack you use.
I would recommend finding voices with clarity in mind rather then the games protagonist’s sex.
I am currently using voiceware Misaki.
I’m not sure exactly what kind of voicepacks are compatible but if the Microsoft TTS can use it,it will probably work.
^ nice.
