One voiced sentence, five paragraphs of text
Players on the Steam forums describe the voice acting as the intro sentence of a main character's dialogue, not the paragraphs that follow; one compared it to Pillars of Eternity. Descriptive passages, the journal and item text, from cyphers to oddities, are reading as well.
Read it with one key
Save the dialogue panel as a region and one key reads the current text. For anything else, press Ctrl+Shift+E and draw a box.
On paid plans, Summarize gives you the short version of a long passage, and Translate reads it in another language.
Questions
Tides of Numenera and Corvo Reader.
Is Tides of Numenera fully voiced?
No. Players describe the voice acting as covering the opening sentence of a conversation; the rest is text.
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 Tides of Numenera 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 display 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.
