About

This project was motivated on trying out different solutions to communicate VSCode with TTS and being rather unsuccessful at that. I tried using OliPro007's Extension and was a bit finicky for me, I also checked out dustinlacewell's vatts and was able to retrieve scripts but not send them. I guess I'm just inexperienced setting up these extensions which is why I wanted to dive into it by making my own and hoped to streamline the process for someone else.

I kind of ended up doing my own thing.
