As a user, I'd like this feature, because I sometimes play without sound (because I use sound for another task). Moreover, I read a lot quicker than NPC speaks, so it would allow to fasten the dialogue pace.
In its current state Mantella will only launch if it is able to connect to either xVASynth or XTTS. An option should be provided in MantellaSoftware/config.ini to connect to neither services and use no NPC voice output. On a high level, the implementation might look like this:
tts_service
settingtts_service
is None, generate a silent audio file of X seconds, where X is approximated based on the length of the line of dialogue
