Glossa

Glossa

Glossa is a Text-to-Speech (TTS) and translation overlay application for Windows. It provides a quick text input interface that can be accessed at any time via a global hotkey.

Core Functionality

1. Overlay Input: Press a designated hotkey to open the typing overlay over other windows.
2. Text Processing: Text entered into the overlay can be optionally auto-translated to a target language.
3. Voice Synthesis: The processed text is then spoken through the selected audio output device.

Usage Note: To route the synthesized voice into applications like Discord or VRChat as microphone input, a Virtual Audio Cable (such as VB-CABLE) must be selected as the output device within Glossa.

Features

• Custom Abbreviations: Users can define text shortcuts. For example, configuring "brb" to expand into "Be right back" before synthesis.
• Voice Engines: Includes options for standard Google TTS and Microsoft Edge TTS voices (10 lenguage available).
• Portability: Released as a standalone .exe. Configuration and user settings are saved locally in a config.json file.
• Soundboard: Add and play multiple MP3/WAV files concurrently. Includes independent volume controls, looping, and a search bar accessible from both the main window and the overlay.
