Voicely Text is another text-to-speech bot for Discord, but instead of linking text channels to voice channels, it speaks text from a voice channel's associated text chat into said voice channel, without the need for commands beforehand.

If you like our bot, please consider trying out Voicely Ping or Voicely Role.

Enabling text-to-speech

If you are in a voice channel, and you want the bot to read your messages, type /tts start in the associated text chat. All of the messages you send in that channel will be read by Voicely Text until you either run /tts stop or leave the voice channel.

Autoread

If you would like the bot to automatically read your messages whenever you join a voice channel without needing to run the /tts start command, type the command /set autoread and set enabled to true, and whenever you join a voice channel, it will automatically read your messages from the associated text chat.

Set your accent and region

You can also set the accent and the region that the bot will read your messages in by typing /set accent and /set region. Typing either of these commands without parameters will display a collection of dropdowns for you to choose from.

• If you're from the UK, you can make the bot read your messages in a British accent by setting the tag to en (English) when running /set accent and setting the tld to co.uk when running /set region.

Text-to-speech override

If you don't want the bot to read all of your messages, but just want it to read a single message, or if you already have your messages being read but want to override the accent or region for a single message, use the /tts speak command, and specify the text you want to be read under text.

• If you don't provide an accent or tld (for the region), your default accent and region will be used.

Skipping messages

If you want to skip speaking messages you may have already sent or are about to send, type /tts skip, with an optional count being the number of messages you want to skip.

• If one of your messages is currently being read, the currently spoken message will be included in the count.

Nicknames

You can set a nickname for Voicely Text to call you every time it refers to you. Both when it announces your messages and when it reads mentions. To do so, type /set nickname and set the nickname parameter to the name you want to be called.

• Setting the nickname parameter to reset will remove the nickname.
• This is useful for if you have special characters in your display name that you don’t want to be read, or if the bot mispronounces your display name by default. Or if your display name is just super long and you want to shorten it.

If you want to override your nickname for a specific server, you can set the server parameter to the server ID of the server you want to use the nickname in. This nickname will only be applied to messages sent in that server.
