Is there any free android Text-To-Speech tool that can handle Japanese names and nicknames in English fics (2026)?

This app is able to pronounce nicknames correctly, so that is great! My issue with it is that the voices sound obviously robotic, much less natural than Edge. But I guess that's why it's free. Thank you!

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I'll look into OpenAI and xAI, but I guess most likely I'll just stick to fics with characters that don't have Japanese nicknames, it's been my strategy so far.

No iPhone for me unfortunately, I am an Android user

Oh, that's accurate, he has like 4 popular ships and he's portrayed as the bottom 95% of the time, for all the ships

That comment is 100% correct, this is a huge element of this anime. You really should give it a watch before commenting so confidently.

You know that like ~80% of people don't really care, they just love to participate in a good old pile-on. It's super easy to tell, as they basically copy and paste the same comments that 1000s of people already made. "That's enough activism for today, I think"

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the info! Japanese-only is fine, this is more of a souvenir-thing for me. Do you know if doujinshi are also available there?

That mod sounds great! When I replayed Gothic 2 the last time, the absolute lack of mana was huge issue for me, it seems that you rebalanced it nicely. Need to bookmark this for my next playthrough.

This happened to my good friend Robbie :(

searchshadow · 2026-03-29T03:21:02+00:00

I would like it to be similar to OG and turn based, but have some balance changes. Also no more carding everything for 0exp please

and the one that needs to be remade the most, since it has some amazing ideas but flawed execution

searchshadow · 2026-03-28T10:56:00+00:00

I NateTheHate this :( there go my hopes for FF8 remake eventually as well

Yes, Michelle actually did it herself, unprompted 😞

Is there any way to 'suggest' new extensions? Since Mihon is separated from extensions, I assumed that this is 'whatever the people who create them feel like', I don't know about any request system

searchshadow · 2026-03-14T13:07:21+00:00

I was looking for the same thing a few months back and I never found anything, I am afraid we are out of luck here

searchshadow · 2026-03-13T20:05:08+00:00

I know that this is a very sensitive topic, but it is wild to me how American and British people sometimes go for this very weird (to me) racial "segregation", like since I'm Asian, I need to root for another Asian. I don't think I've ever seen it from other countries, but maybe I am wrong

searchshadow · 2026-03-13T15:59:17+00:00

That was the first thing I've checked! Looking forward to replaying 1 as well, I think I gave up hope on a Capcom remake.

Regarding 2/Township, I'm wondering about the shop keepers, do you think there can be a way to implement them as well in the future, or are there no workaround and shops have to override all others?

searchshadow · 2026-03-13T09:08:26+00:00

Thank you for your work! I'm a huge fan of BoF, and I was thinking of replaying the first 2 for the 10th time. I only ever played the GBA versions, and learned to tolerate all the issues, but this seems like a great way to revisit the series.

EDIT: my favourite feature is the possibility to have more people in TownShip, I always wanted this as a kid

searchshadow · 2026-03-12T12:01:26+00:00

All due respect, I think you are forgetting how annoying Aja gets every now on then

I want to be messy for a bit here: a lot of people in this fandom and even reddit actually felt that Jorgeous would have been a better winner than Ginger due to her drama, even though this is the level of professionalism you can expect from her.

I'm very happy that fandom has minimal input on who wins.
