Also seen but not checked in depth: Chatty Little NPC, a Ukrainian voice pack and WowVoice RU. The original "VoiceOver" addon (mrthinger/wow-voiceover) ships TOCs for 11509, 20506, 30403 and 100007 but not 16001, so it is not built for Forever.

How to
Install a voice addon in Forever
- Close the game. Remove any older voice addon folders (Forever Voiceover, SpokenQuests, SpokenZones, SpokenBooks).
- Download Spoken from CurseForge and choose the 1.60.1 / Forever file. Translated quest packs are on the GitHub releases page.
- Download at least one voice pack for your game language.
- Unzip everything into
_forever_/Interface/AddOns. Each folder with a.tocfile must sit directly in AddOns. - Start Forever, click AddOns on character select and enable Spoken and the packs.
- In game type
/sp options, then talk to a quest giver. You should hear the text read aloud.
Is a voice addon allowed?
Yes in the normal sense: they are free in-game addons that play audio and change no game mechanics. Blizzard's UI Add-On Development Policy says addons must be free, have visible code, show no ads or donation requests and not hurt realm performance, and that Blizzard may disable any addon function. Note that SpeakStone is "All Rights Reserved" and the French addon uses an outside Windows program; those are the two to look at more carefully.
Why the old guides are wrong
Guides written in September still recommend Forever Voiceover and the _classic_beta_ folder. Since launch the folder is _forever_ and Forever Voiceover is no longer maintained. See our main addons list for other addons confirmed on 16001.
FAQ
What is the best WoW Forever AI voice addon?＋
Spoken. It lists interface 16001, was updated on Nov 8, 2026, has about 1.48 million downloads and covers quests, gossip, books, zone lore and boss stories. Checked 2026-11-09.
Is Forever Voiceover still working?＋
It was discontinued on Nov 5, 2026. Its author wrote that they stopped the project and told players to download Spoken. Remove its folder before installing Spoken so the two do not both play.
I installed Spoken but there is no sound. Why?＋
Spoken is only the player. Without at least one voice pack (Quests, Readables or Places & Bosses) it stays silent. Download a pack for your game language, put it in the same AddOns folder and restart the game fully — new audio files are only read at client start, a /reload is not enough.
Spoken shows as out of date. What do I do?＋
Make sure you downloaded the Forever / 1.60.1 file, not the Classic Era or Anniversary one, and that it went into _forever_/Interface/AddOns. The current Spoken.toc reads Interface 16001. Ticking 'Load out of date AddOns' only hides the warning.
Can I run two voice addons at once?＋
Do not. Spoken, SpeakStone, VoiceOver Forever and YAVO all hook the same quest and gossip windows, so you get two voices talking over each other or none. Keep one enabled on the Addons screen.
Will a voice addon get me banned?＋
Voice addons are normal in-game Lua addons that play bundled sound files; they do not automate play. Blizzard's UI add-on policy requires addons to be free and their code visible, and Blizzard can disable any addon function. The French addon's companion app is a separate Windows program, which is a different case: only use it if you trust the source.
Does it work on Mac?＋
Spoken, SpeakStone and the other pack-based addons only play audio files, so they work on Mac. Forever TTS uses the Windows text-to-speech engine and is Windows only.
Where is the AddOns folder for WoW Forever?＋
Inside your World of Warcraft install: _forever_/Interface/AddOns. Older guides say _classic_beta_ — that was the beta path; use _forever_ now.
My old SpokenQuests addon conflicts with Spoken.＋
Spoken replaced the separate SpokenQuests, SpokenZones and SpokenBooks addons. Delete those old folders, keep only Spoken and its new packs, and restart.
