Script: (Accessibility) Text-To-Speech For Pokémon Essentials!

[Swdfm]

This script turns text in the game to speech using an old text-to-speech program called eSpeak. It allows partially blind people to enjoy the game!

Heavily Based off a 2020 script by silver-wind and #NotImportant, and adapted for Essentials v20

Notes:
In order to use éSpeak, the player must have Windows, and install eSpeak onto Program Files x86.
There may be ways to access it on other Operating Systems, but this has not been checked yet.

Using the newer Terminal instead of the old Command Prompt can sometimes be inconveniant for players using the program. Therefore, it may be helpful to encourage the player to uninstall it.
Ensure that espeak.exe and espeak_sapi.dll are not in the folder when the game is compressed, should you choose to compress/encrypt it.

I was wanting to try this so downloaded pokemon uranium and tried it out. I got espeak to download and unzipped the file and put everything in the folder. this looks good, but when I loaded the game the speech would not play. I tried to modify a few things in the rb file you mentioned for the script but that didn't work either. I cannot figure out how to get debug for pokemon essentials to work either. also keep in mind I am blind so I cannot just look and find something. any help would be appreciated since if this can be made to work for any game with essentials it would be really helpful for accessibility for the blind.
