Tips for streamers, setup guides and project news. TikLive TTS is an open-source desktop app with a complete Free plan that reads your chat out loud.
What is TikLive TTS and what does the Free plan include?
July 2026 · Project
TikLive TTS was born from a simple need: hearing your chat out loud while you stream, without staring at the screen the whole time. The app connects to TikTok Live, Twitch, YouTube and Kick, merges the messages into a single ordered queue and narrates them with voices in 10 languages.
The project is open source, and the Free plan includes TTS, chat for all four platforms, local moderation, OBS overlays and bug reporting. The optional Sin Promos (US$3/month or US$25/year) and Pro (US$8/month or US$85/year) plans add extra features. The full source code is available on
GitHub, and donations remain voluntary.
How to connect TikLive TTS to OBS in 3 steps
July 2026 · Guide
TikLive TTS ships with OBS-ready overlays: gift alerts, a likes counter and a followers counter. Everything is served locally, so you don't depend on external services.
- 1. Open TikLive TTS and connect your live (TikTok, Twitch or YouTube).
- 2. Copy the local URL of the overlay you want (for example
localhost:3000).
- 3. In OBS, add a Browser Source and paste the URL. Adjust size and position.
You can upload your own backgrounds to customize the alerts without leaving the app. If something doesn't work, ask in the
community Discord.
