Twitch TTS (Text-to-speech) is a software that can turn the written text into spoken text. Most streamers on Twitch often use this piece of software to add more value to their donations. By enabling the Twitch TTS, your viewers know that their message will be read out and noticed through this software on streams. Viewers can ask some questions, or throw a joke at the streamer or request to do something.
This whole thing then encourages the viewers to donate to the streamer without distracting the streamers by looking at their second monitor. However, many streamers have no idea about how to set up the Twitch Text-to-speech. Don’t worry, though. This article is going to give you a simple and easy guide to set up TTS. Here we go.
