Is there a way to prevent it from speaking the things you say?

I would like to prevent it from reading out things typed by me. I tried to use an exclusion which didn't seem to work, but maybe I didn't format things correctly.

Oh actually, I just tried out your idea to use an exclusion to prevent it from reading your chat text that you've typed, and I seem to have it working for me. Try typing your first and last name (case-sensitive just in case) with no regex box checked. It should detect your character's name and not read it aloud.

But this feedback is still valid as a feature request to have an option to automatically detect the player's name and filter it out in the chat box.

https://github.com/karashiiro/TextToTalk/blob/main/src/TextToTalk/Middleware/ChatMessageHandler.cs#L61-L85 it does, but I think that's actually a bug 🥴

https://github.com/karashiiro/TextToTalk/blob/main/src/TextToTalk/Middleware/ChatMessageHandler.cs#L61 I meant checking against this field.

That worked, but just in case an NPC uses those 3 words in the middle of a sentence, which I suppose is theoretically possible, throw in a ^ character at the beginning and check the regex box so it forces it to match "Firstname Lastname says" but only if it's at the very beginning of the line.

So: ^Firstname Lastname says

This seems to work, I dont know why First Last didn't seem to work for me, but this will do. Thank you.

Correction, this doesn't work in a party, have to make a second entry for "^.{1}", but also it fails if you use the option to only have it say the name once.
