EQWatcher was a popular log parser released in 2001. If you don’t believe this page then you can see the web archive of their free servers website going back to 2001 here:

That fits within the blue timeline. There were others before that that don’t exist anymore. If you genuinely believe that before these big releases people weren’t writing python scripts to parse their logs...

EQ Companion has a change log going back to 2001.
None of this was a big secret. People weren’t hiding it.
EQLog’s website goes back to 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000701...org/~pasketti/
This took about 5 minutes for me to look back and find just by searching the names of these programs. Also, all this talk about how parsing couldn’t be possible before .NET is just weird. Lots of broad sweeping statements and assumptions being thrown around.

Um, that was me talking about .Net. I didn't claim that it couldn't be done, I posted that in regards to GINAs creation date as I was searching for it. So you will have to reconsider that accusation.
Eqwatcher, does parsing with text to voice alerts.

EQWatcher Evolution is an absolutely free real-time EverQuest log parser. EQWatcher interprets small programs written for it that do certain things, most notably audio responses such as Text-to-Speech or .WAV sounds, when user or game text input is read. For example, EQWatcher Evolution can speak out loud things like your character's damage per second, your character's movement speed, tells received, all using information from the text log files. EQWatcher's abilities also allow advanced uses like accessing databases, and simple-but-useful things like controlling Winamp. EQWatcher by design CANNOT be used to "macro" (automate game play), hack, or sniff packets, and is not against the license agreement for EverQuest.

It couldn't display a UI. The one poster in here that I was arguing with had a program with a UI on a extra computer displaying accurately but janky in real time. EQwatcher didn't require a UI overlay. It doesn't do egg timers for buff durations or spawn times. If someone hails you, you can make a voice alert. This could be set up to give triggered alerts, like raid alerts or even group invites.
You have shown a program that many others didn't bother to link, kudos. But it fails to demonstrate how GINA can be acceptable but by all means use something like Eqwatcher if you really need voice triggers.
Edit:
It could control Winamp
