What is TTS Monster?
TTS Monster is an AI-powered text-to-speech tool specifically designed for Twitch and YouTube streamers. It enables streamers to integrate custom AI voices and sound bites into their livestreams, allowing viewers to trigger text-to-speech messages through donations, Twitch Bits, or channel point redemptions. The tool processes everything in the cloud, generating AI voice clips in seconds without requiring any downloads or software installation.
Key features include over 100 distinct high-quality AI voices spanning characters from games, TV shows, and films, plus more than 100 hilarious sound bites for personalized alerts. The platform offers seamless integration with StreamElements, StreamLabs, and Ko-fi, a comprehensive Developer API with robust documentation for custom applications, and voice cloning capabilities (currently in BETA). Streamers can preview each voice before selecting, customize settings like volume and profanity filters, and give moderators tools to skip, mute, or pause the TTS queue.
TTS Monster is ideal for Twitch streamers, YouTube streamers, content creators producing live digital content, and app developers looking to integrate custom AI voices into their applications. The tool has proven to be a revenue booster, with streamers reporting over 400% increases in subscriptions and donations after switching to TTS Monster, while the platform takes zero cuts from earnings.
The setup process takes under 5 minutes: register an account, connect your streaming service (StreamElements, StreamLabs, or Ko-fi), adjust TTS settings including voice and sound bite choices, and add the generated overlay URL to OBS or Streamlabs. All processing happens on TTS Monster's servers, making it a cloud-based service accessible from anywhere without installation.

Frequently asked questions about TTS Monster
How do I use TTS.Monster?
Start using AI TTS in four simple steps: 1. Login or Register on the Tts.Monster platform. 2. Add your StreamElements, StreamLabs, or Ko-fi details to your account. 3. Tweak your settings to your desired values including voice selection, sound bites, volume, and profanity filter. 4. Add the generated overlay URL to your OBS streaming software.
Will the TTS overlay sync directly with my existing alerts overlay?
The TTS will play as soon as a donation occurs. In some cases, the TTS overlay may not sync perfectly with an existing alerts overlay, which is a known limitation users should expect.
How do my mods skip, mute, or pause the TTS queue?
Skip, Mute, or Pause buttons available from your StreamElements or StreamLabs recent-events list will function with the TTS overlay. Moderators can use these buttons to manage the TTS queue during streams.
Who can I talk to for bug fixes or support?
You can send a message in the official Discord server or send a direct message on Twitter (@tts_monster). TTS.Monster aims to respond as soon as possible to support requests and bug reports.
Can I use AI TTS with YouTube and Twitch?
Yes, as long as you are using StreamElements or StreamLabs, the AI TTS will work through donations on both YouTube and Twitch platforms. YouTube streamers can log in with their Twitch account to use TTS.Monster.
Do I need to download anything to use TTS.Monster?
No, Tts.Monster is a web application that operates entirely in your browser. All processing is handled on their servers, so no downloads are required. This makes setup quick and simplifies the streaming setup process.
What is the difference between default TTS and AI TTS?
Default TTS refers to the single AI voice you choose and set as your default for all messages. AI TTS allows you to use multiple TTS voices in the same stream by formatting messages with different voice names, enabling you to create conversations between different characters during your streams.
How much does the minimum donation need to be for TTS?
Viewers can trigger AI TTS messages via donations with a suggested minimum of $3, or through Twitch Bits with a suggested minimum of 200 Bits. Streamers can customize these minimum criteria for both default TTS and AI TTS voices in their settings.
Can I create custom voices with TTS.Monster?
Yes, TTS.Monster offers a Voice Cloning feature currently in BETA that allows you to clone a voice to create a custom TTS voice. This is available through their Developer API endpoints.
What API endpoints does TTS.Monster provide?
TTS.Monster provides 4 API endpoints: Generate TTS (to generate an AI text-to-speech message), Voice Cloning (BETA) (to clone a voice for custom TTS), Get Voices (to get the list of available TTS voices), and Get Subscription Info (to get information about the user's subscription).
