CHCL Chompy
A downloadable tool for Windows
Do you want to spice up your TTS redeems? Do you have a "chompy" avatar laying around? This is the tool for you!
It will listen for TTS redeems, and play them using the famous DECtalk - more specifically, the community provided version with 64-bit builds. Yes, it supports all of it, including singing, voices, dialing, you name it. Don't worry, it also has some safety features to prevent chat completely destroying your hearing :)
Why can't I donate for it?
Simply put, the successor to DECtalk is still very much being sold, and I'm fine enough making money from my daytime job. I guess you can follow me on Twitch instead?
Backlog
Things for the future
- More TTS engines. Code is setup for it, just need to implement it. Something compatible with xVASynth models would be interesting...
- Some way to avoid window capture, whether NDI or Teleport compatible.
- Ability to specify output audio device, to have it output to a virtual audio cable, for example.
- More anti-abuse features, including a panic button to cancel the current TTS.

Install instructions
Welcome to the beta - it's a bit rough right now, but here's what you need to do to get started:
- Run TwitchChompyTTS.exe - it will open the configurator if a config is missing. If installed through the itch.io app, you can easily open the configurator whenever you want.
- Add a window capture to OBS, same title or executable, and chroma key away the background.

Howdy there! I'm really fascinated by this project, it seems really cool!
I'm just double checking, is the file meant to have so many .dll files in it? My antivirus is getting rather jumpy about some of them, and I'm thinking it's just because it's a bit trigger happy. It even removed the .exe at one point, claiming it's unsafe.
Now I reckon it's just my antivirus being trigger happy and mediocre, as a few different AVs I've tested don't have this issue, but I figure if nothing else it might be worth you at least knowing about it. Sorry if you've already got messages about this.
Been using this for a few days, really love it! Will there be any new updates coming soon? Also apologies if thats something you've been nagged about already.
No worries.
I’m pretty motivated by fixing things, and with the latest update, I don’t have any glaring issues to iron out, just the “moonshots” in the backlog above. Anything in particular you’d like?
I'd say mainly the panic button and the other anti-abuse features honestly! Also you were on about avoiding window capture, would Spout2 be a way to avoid that? (Not very technical with that stuff)
Just bringin it back up, any new lil updates or anything?
Ah, yeah, no, Baldurs Gate 3 released 😁
I’ve looked at Spout2, and tried implementing it, it’s just a lot of work.
I’ll prioritize the panic button and anti-abuse, those are much simpler.
All good! Thanks again :)
