What the Final Cut still leaves as text
The Final Cut added voices for the dialogue and narration, and players point out the one exception in conversations: your own character's reply options are text. Outside conversations, the menus are text as well: the journal's task list, the character sheet's skill descriptions, item and clothing tooltips in the inventory, and the Thought Cabinet panel.
If something is voiced in your version, enjoy it. If it's silent, box it.
Read a thought with one key
Press Ctrl+Shift+E and draw a box round a reply option, a tooltip or a thought to hear it.
Save the Thought Cabinet panel or the journal as a region and it reads with one key.
Dyslexia: fonts and voices together
In 2022 ZA/UM added the OpenDyslexic typeface to a game of over a million words, as Can I Play That? reported. Corvo Reader works with whichever font the game draws, so you can use both.
Questions
Disco Elysium and Corvo Reader.
Is Disco Elysium fully voiced?
The Final Cut voices the dialogue and narration. Your own character's replies are text, and so are menus like the journal, the character sheet and the inventory.
Do I need mods?
No. Corvo Reader reads what's on your screen, so it doesn't install anything in the game or change its files.
Which display mode does Disco Elysium need?
Borderless or Windowed. In exclusive fullscreen, Windows keeps the game's picture away from other apps, so Corvo Reader can't see the text. Where to look: the game's options: a windowed or borderless display setting. Check your game's display settings, as the exact label can change between versions.
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan needs no card: standard neural voices for 20 minutes of narration a week. Paid plans start at $6.99 a month and add weekly premium voice minutes, unlimited standard voices, Summarize and Translate.
