ABOUT SpeakinSpell
--------------------------------------------


SpeakinSpell will announce the use of spells and other abilities in the chat using random speeches. i.e. say funny things when you cast portals, resurrect, soul stones, etc - SpeakinSpell supports ANY spell for ANY class!

The name SpeakinSpell is a reference to a children's toy from the early 1980s
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speak_&_Spell_(game) for details

All you have to do is configure a list of 1 or more speeches that you want to say for each spell (in the interface options panel) then every time you cast that spell, you will automatically say one of your random speeches.

For best results, it is recommended that you configure at least 10 messages per spell, to avoid sounding repetitive.

It is NOT necessary to cast your spells through a macro to trigger your random speeches.  SpeakinSpell hooks into spell casting events to automatically detect when you cast spells, whether you cast your spell by clicking a button, using a macro, or from another addon.


--------------------------------------------
MAIN FEATURES
--------------------------------------------

- Supports any spell or ability for any class.

CHANGE HISTORY

See ChangeLog.txt for complete version history

The SpeakinSpell version number is the WoW client version number that SpeakinSpell was built and tested against, followed by an incremental SpeakinSpell version number

For example SpeakinSpell version 3.0.3.05 was built against WoW client version 3.0.3, and is SpeakinSpell release 5 against that version of WoW
When WoW 3.1.0 comes out, the next SpeakinSpell release will be SpeakinSpell v3.1.0.01
