NoComply BG3 Dialogue Finder
If you use this tool and find it useful, or know someone who might, please let people know that it exists. I am still regularly seeing people uploading voice replacer mods who have manually listened to and written down all of the lines/sound files relevant to their mod in order to create it. This is totally unnecessary and a complete waste of our talented mod authors' valuable time - everything needed is already in this database.
Check out Loregamer's fork which adds functionality to copy .wems identified in a search from a source directory to a destination directory.
Overview
- Search Baldur’s Gate 3’s audio files by dialogue, character and filename. Database contains all .wem files stored in SharedSounds.pak (point-and-click) and English.pak (everything else). Note that Spellvoice is not accurate at this time due to scraping limitations. The files are in the database but they will be missing most information.
- Download results in .csv format.
Ability for the community to edit database entries to improve accuracy. No longer being checked or maintained.
- Online web app
with edit featurehere (recommended). - Offline via Github or Nexus: Just download, run app.py (you need Python and Flask) and copy the link provided by your terminal into your browser. I'll update the repo with the live database
every week or so.
Update 04/18/25: Active development and maintenance of this tool has ended. The web app will stay up for as long as I remember to renew it (I get notifications). You can of course still download the tool and run it offline if you want to make your own edits using any SQL tool.
- Modding dialogue audio in Baldur’s Gate 3. For example: Search for all Tav 1 dialogue lines, download them as a .csv for contained speech and filename reference when recording/creating replacers.
More Information & Usage
Database Creation and Accuracy
Localization files are (mostly) referenced in english.loca along with the relevant subtitle. Accuracy for these should be 100%. The 5% or so that aren't referenced were run through OpenAI Whisper Large model and then cleaned up manually. Character names were scraped from Pandora’s list of Voice UUIDs.
SharedSounds was harder:
- There are no subtitles for these so I ran the whole directory through OpenAI Whisper Large model (compute time: 141 hours, my CPU is screaming at me). Accuracy for any of these files that contain dialogue should be 90-100%.
- SharedSounds character names are currently only added for the files listed in TealRabbit19’s Point-Click Dialogue Files Database. While endlessly useful, by the creator's own admission this database is not 100% exhaustive/accurate.
- For any files in SharedSounds that don’t contain dialogue, Whisper will likely have printed garbled nonsense/bizarre sentences.
If you find any of these feel free to submit an edit on the web app.I've cleared out some, but with 200,000+ entries there will still be plenty.
It is not impossible that some files have been missed - I am far from the best at coding and pretty much everything was scraped/moved/imported using one thrown-together-at-2am python script or another. That being said, I'm pretty confident that it's all there.
Any entries/sections of entries that are not definitively 100% accurate have an edit feature. Anyone can access this via the web app and submit revisions. All revisions are sent to me for verification - I go through them every few days or so. Remember, this is a search-based database - if you submit anything, make sure it's accurate and that your spelling/grammar is correct.
Abuse of the edit feature (multiple incorrect submissions, multiple submissions with bad spelling/grammar, trolling etc.) will result in an immediate IP ban.
The offline version does not include an edit feature. If you want to make edits, either contribute to the project by using the web app or use any SQL database editor on your offline database.db file.
Usage Examples
You can use multiple search boxes to execute more complex queries, e.g. searching ‘Astarion’ in Characters and ‘tadpole’ in Dialogue will return all instances of Astarion saying tadpole. These work together as ‘and’ functions, not ‘or’ functions, i.e. searching for 'Astarion' in Characters and 'Gale' in Characters would return nothing as there is no character with both of those names.
'Type' refers to the type of dialogue. Localization files have two types:
- Localization (Subtitled)
- Localization - Not In English.loca

Sometimes these have character-specific modifiers appended such as (Durge) for dark urge-specific lines. These are not currently available to select in the edit dropdown as the use cases are fairly limited,
Add audio file lengths. Could be useful for localization mods, as these are required to be the same length or shorter than the vanilla files in order to play correctly in-game without cutting off.Add 'Notes' section. More specific info about entries can be added here such as 'durge-specific line', 'Act 1', 'triggered on such-and-such event', etc.(Long-term) Export XML mod-ready file with changes to a locally stored database. Useful for easy subtitle creation when replacing dialogue with original lines.
