Whether you’re a creator who loves hands-free engagement, a roleplayer who wants C3PO to thank gifters, or just looking to make your stream stand out, TikFinity’s TTS tools are made for you.

This guide focuses on using TTS for livestreams, not just for pre-recorded videos (we’ll explain that part briefly later).

Let’s unlock the power of voice in your stream, step by step.

What Is TikTok TTS and Why Use It?

TikTok TTS stands for Text-to-Speech. It converts written text (like chat comments or events) into a spoken voice. While TikTok offers a native TTS feature for pre-recorded videos, it doesn’t work during livestreams. That’s where TikFinity comes in.

With TikFinity’s TTS, you can automatically read chat messages aloud, trigger themed or funny voice lines when viewers send gifts, allow special users to use specific voices, and much more.

Real Streaming Use Cases:

  • Auto-read chat: Keep up with your audience hands-free.
  • Gift reactions: Viewer sends a rose? Auto-play: “One Rose to rule them all…” in a deep male voice.

TikFinity makes this magic happen through browser or the Windows desktop app. Just make sure to keep TikFinity open so everything runs smoothly!

Quick Setup Overview for actions & events

If you want to trigger sounds when someone sends a gift or follows you, go to the Actions & Events setup. There, you can assign voices to specific events such as a new follower, a Rose gift, or keyword triggers. For example, when a viewer types “!boom” in chat, it can automatically play a TTS line like “Headshot!”. 

You can take it even further by adding animations, video files, or advanced actions like switching OBS scenes or triggering WebHooks. The possibilities are endless, and it’s completely up to you how your viewers can interact and bring your stream to life!

How TikTok’s Built-In TTS Works (Video-Only Feature)

TikTok includes a native TTS feature, but it only works in pre-recorded videos, not during livestreams.

Here’s how it works:

  • Add text to your video
  • Tap the text
  • Select “Text-to-Speech”

Be aware of a few limitations: only a handful of voice options are available, there’s no real-time interaction, and it doesn’t work for livestreaming.

Streamers need real-time tools like TikFinity to use TTS live, letting them read chat messages aloud, play fun audio clips or reactions automatically, and create a more interactive and engaging experience for their viewers.
