How to Enable Text-to-Speech (TTS) in Your Python Discord Bot

Note:

Text-to-Speech (TTS) in Discord is a built-in feature that reads messages out loud using your client’s voice engine. When a bot sends a message with tts=True, Discord marks it as a TTS message, but it will only be spoken out loud to users who have TTS enabled in their personal settings.

TTS does not generate audio files or join voice channels; it simply triggers the client-side spoken message for supported users.

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

---

3. Create Your Main Bot’s File

Create a new file called index.py then paste the following code.

What this code does:

• Loads your bot token
• Enables Intents, which Discord now requires
• Creates a bot with the ! command prefix
• Adds a !say command
  • When a user types !say, the bot replies with a TTS message

import os
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

TOKEN = 'DISCORD_TOKEN'

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Bot ready')

@bot.command()
async def say(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Hello from your bot using T T S.', tts=True)

bot.run(TOKEN)
