Text to Speech (TTS) for Your Stream

TTS (text to speech) for streaming is a synthetic voice that reads messages aloud, usually the ones that come with a donation. At Epik Streamer we offer TTS access, without a custom voice, for $85. On this page we explain what it is, what it’s for and what precautions are worth taking, without promising anything that isn’t part of the service.

What TTS is and what it’s for

TTS stands for text-to-speech: a text is converted into audio with a voice generated by software. On a live stream it’s mainly used to:

• Read a donation message aloud, so the community hears it instead of only seeing it.
• Give a moment in the spotlight to whoever supports the channel.
• Add humor or rhythm to the stream, when the style of your content allows it.

It’s an interaction tool, not a resource for every channel. If your content is very calm, conversational or needs silence, you may not need it.

What’s included (and what isn’t)

What’s sold is TTS access, without a custom voice. That means we don’t create a unique voice for you or reproduce the voice of a specific person. This page doesn’t promise specific languages, voices, integrations or platforms, because those details aren’t part of what’s published about the service. If any of them is decisive for you, ask on WhatsApp or Discord before buying.

If you’re putting together your whole channel, the Epik pack lists TTS among its pieces, with a 15% discount off the access price. Check the pack’s page to see how it’s presented before you decide.

How to use it responsibly

When a synthetic voice reads what your community writes, whatever anyone types ends up coming out of your speakers and onto your stream. That’s why TTS takes more care than regular chat:

• You’re responsible for what goes out. Insults, harassment or content that breaks your platform’s rules can get you penalized even if a synthetic voice is the one reading it.
• Turn on filters. Platform moderation tools help: Kick, for example, allows moderators, slow mode, account age restrictions and blocked words. You can check it in its guide to moderating chat.
• Set limits. Cap message length, and keep TTS from reading links, personal data or addresses.
• Keep a mute button. Have a quick way to cut TTS if something goes wrong.
• Tell your community. Explain in your rules or in a panel what’s allowed and what isn’t.

With TTS, moderation starts before the stream, not during it.

How buying works

1. You buy on PayPal. One-time payment, in full.
2. You send your brief over WhatsApp or Discord, with your main platform, your type of content, your personality and your limits on humor, controversy and topics you avoid.
3. Production and delivery. They start once the brief is complete and the payment is made.

Common mistakes with TTS

• Leaving it open to everyone. Without filters, a single message can ruin a stream.
• Not warning people. If your viewers don’t know their messages will be read aloud, they’re caught by surprise.
• Unbalanced volume. Check in OBS that the voice doesn’t drown out your microphone or the game.
• Expecting a voice of your own. This service is without a custom voice.
• Using language that doesn’t fit your brand. If your channel is family-friendly, define what can be read.

TTS on its own or a pack

If your channel is already set up and you just want to add interaction, a la carte access is the direct route. If you’re building your complete identity, look at the Epik pack. TTS pairs with your alerts, and to manage volume and on-screen scenes, OBS setup is a separate piece. If you’d like to better understand how your stream’s notifications are organized, read the stream alerts guide.

Start with your brief

Buy your TTS access, tell us what your channel is like and what limits you want to set, and put together an interaction that sounds like you.
