800,000 words, barely voiced
The authors of a fan AI voice project count over 800,000 words of dialogue in the game, with almost none of it voiced beyond a small number of lines such as battle cries.
Conversations carry the narration too: what characters do and how they look is described inside the dialogue text. Add the journal and item descriptions, and Planescape is mostly reading.
Read the dialogue box with one key
Save the dialogue box as a region and one key reads the current text.
Box a journal entry or an item description with Ctrl+Shift+E. On paid plans, Summarize gives you the short version of a long passage.
Compared with the AI Voices mod
Credit where it's due: the free Planescape: Torment AI Voices mod adds AI-generated voice acting for the Enhanced Edition's dialogue and narration. If you want the whole game voiced, it's worth a look.
Corvo Reader needs no install into the game, reads anything on screen when you ask (the journal and item text included), and works in your other games.
Questions
Planescape: Torment and Corvo Reader.

Is Planescape: Torment voiced?
Barely. A small number of lines are voiced; the dialogue itself, over 800,000 words of it, is text.
Enhanced Edition or original?
Corvo Reader reads the screen, so it works with whichever version you run on Windows.
Which display mode does Planescape: Torment 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 graphics options: windowed or borderless. 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.
