# VoiceChatModerator<\/p>\n
**VoiceChatModerator** is a client-side Fabric mod for **Simple Voice Chat** that shows you **who is currently speaking**, can optionally display **spoken text**, and archives conversations **locally as audio and text**.<\/p>\n
The mod is designed for server moderation, event support, documentation, and anyone who wants to review or search voice chat sessions later.<\/p>\n
## Highlights<\/p>\n
– **Live speaker overlay** in the HUD
\n– **Transcript above player name tags**
\n– **Local recordings** as audio and text
\n– **In-game browser** for saved sessions
\n– **Export feature** for individual recordings
\n– **Optional speech-to-text**
\n– **Client-side** \u2013 no server-side mod required<\/p>\n
## What the mod does<\/p>\n
While you are using **Simple Voice Chat**, the mod detects incoming voice activity and can make it visible in several ways:<\/p>\n
### Speaker Overlay
\nA clean HUD overlay shows which players are currently speaking. Depending on your configuration, it can display things like:<\/p>\n
– player names
\n– distance
\n– volume
\n– short transcript snippets<\/p>\n
### Name Tag Transcript
\nIf speech-to-text is enabled, spoken text can be displayed **above the player’s head**.<\/p>\n
### Recording & Archive
\nConversations are saved locally, split by hour and organized by:<\/p>\n
– server
\n– player
\n– date
\n– hour<\/p>\n
Depending on your settings, this creates:<\/p>\n
– **`.wav`** or **`.mp3`** files
\n– matching **`.txt`** files with transcript content<\/p>\n
### Browser & Export
\nThe built-in browser lets you search through your recordings directly in-game and export them when needed.<\/p>\n
## Who is this mod for?<\/p>\n
VoiceChatModerator is especially useful for:<\/p>\n
– **moderation teams** on community servers
\n– **event or roleplay organization**
\n– **documenting conversations**
\n– **reviewing incidents**
\n– players who want a **better overview of voice chat activity**<\/p>\n
## Speech-to-Text<\/p>\n
Speech-to-text is **optional** and can be turned off completely.<\/p>\n
At the moment, the mod mainly supports these approaches:<\/p>\n
– **DIRECT** \u2013 directly local inside the mod
\n– **API** \u2013 through an external compatible service<\/p>\n
If you only want the overlay and recordings, you can simply leave speech-to-text disabled.<\/p>\n
## Hotkeys<\/p>\n
– **F6** \u2013 toggle overlay
\n– **F7** \u2013 open recording browser
\n– **F8** \u2013 toggle recording<\/p>\n
## Requirements<\/p>\n
– **Minecraft 1.21.11**
\n– **Fabric Loader**
\n– **Fabric API**
\n– **Simple Voice Chat**
\n– **Java 21+**
\n– **ModMenu** optional, but recommended<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n

\n3. Put **Simple Voice Chat** into your `mods` folder
\n4. Put **VoiceChatModerator** into your `mods` folder
\n5. Optionally install **ModMenu** for easier configuration<\/p>\n
## Quick Start<\/p>\n
### Without Speech-to-Text<\/p>\n
If you only want the moderation and recording features at first:<\/p>\n
1. Start the game
\n2. Disable **STT** in the settings
\n3. Enable recording
\n4. Use **F7** later to browse saved recordings<\/p>\n
### With Speech-to-Text<\/p>\n
Enable STT in the configuration and choose a supported method. Spoken content can then appear in the overlay, as name tag text, and in saved transcript files depending on your settings.<\/p>\n
## Recording Location<\/p>\n
Recordings are stored locally in your Minecraft directory:<\/p>\n
“`text
\n.minecraft\/VoiceChatRecord\/
\n“`<\/p>\n
## Important Notes<\/p>\n
– This mod is **client-side**.
\n– It does **not replace Simple Voice Chat**; it extends it.
\n– Audio and transcripts are stored **locally on your computer**.
\n– Speech-to-text quality may vary depending on language, audio quality, and background noise.<\/p>\n
