The text CK3 throws at you

Every event comes with several options, each with a tooltip breaking down its effects, and those tooltips link to game concepts with tooltips of their own. Add character interactions and their acceptance breakdowns, schemes, decisions, lifestyle perks and the message feed, and an evening of CK3 is a lot of small print.

Read an event with one key

Save the event window as a region: saved regions read with one key, so each new event is one press away.

For anything else, including a nested tooltip, press Ctrl+Shift+E and draw a box round it before you pick an option.

Compared with the CK3 text to speech mod

There is a good free option made by the community: the Text to Speech mod in the CK3 UI Accessibility collection on the Steam Workshop reads event text and option tooltips with a key press, using a companion reader app and your Windows voices. If it suits you, use it.

Corvo Reader's difference: there is no mod to install, it reads anything on screen (character sheets, decisions, map tooltips), it uses natural AI voices, and it works the same in your other games.
