Teamspeak 3 - Plugins and Names

Teamspeak allows for you to install and add various plugins and addons that can change or add just about anything you want. Personally I have a couple of installed that allow me to use functions for my keyboard, as well as other games. But Prisma Text To Speech is another nice one. Teamspeak has a built-in Text to Speech voicepack, but it leaves quite a bit to be desired. While Prisma isn't perfect.

To get it, follow the link above and click the Download button. Open the file once it's downloaded and click Install. You'll have to restart your Teamspeak 3 Client once it's done.

When Teamspeak starts back up again, it will be the default voice pack. Then you can go into your settings - options and click the Notifications menu, and alter it to suit yourself. By default, it will tell you everything that happens, and I strongly recommend that you disable at least some things, such as when people connect to the server, but not your channel.

For others to make full use of it, you should also, in my cases, set a phonetic nickname for yourself. Your name may contain a lot of numbers in place of letters, and the Text to Talk will read every number, making your name both long and hard to understand. To set a phonetic nickname, go to the Self menu and simply select Set Phonetic Nickname. You can hear how it would sound before you decide.
Note: Phonetic nicknames function for everybody, so even if you don't have text to speech activated, people who do, will hear the phonetic nickname.
Warning: Make sure you set something legible and useful! Setting your name to LLLLLLLLLLLLL or other nonsense will only serve to make people angry at you! And you risk the moderator's wrath.
