Free TTS services for streamers.

TTS Helper

TTS Helper is an application designed to help Twitch streamers integrate TTS into their streams to create more unique interactions with their viewers.

TTS Helper utilities

TTS Helper has a few things built in to make life easier.

• History - This will show the currently playing and all completed or skipped redeems.
• Queue - This will show the currently playing and all soon to play redeems.
• Chat Settings - Twitch Affiliates/Partners get redeems. If you're just starting out on Twitch you don't have access to redeems. This area allows you to setup chat commands for your viewers so they can use it to invoke TTS.
• Captions - If you want captions shown in your OBS (or preferred streaming software) you can create a limited, but customizable captions box to display played TTS redeems.
• Moderation - You can filter out redeems by banning words with this simplistic tool. It handles words and phrases separated by a comma.
• StreamDeck Plugin - Use the official StreamDeck TTS Helper plugin for some basic buttons.

Free third party services inside TTS Helper

TTS Helper has a few free to use third party services to help kickstart your TTS adventure.
