How To Enable Text-to-Speech (TTS) on Your NodeJS 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.js 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

const { Client, IntentsBitField } = require('discord.js');

const TOKEN = 'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN';

const client = new Client({ 
    intents: [
        IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
        IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
        IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
    ] 
});

client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log(`Bot ready! Logged in as ${client.user.tag}`);
});

const PREFIX = '!';
client.on('messageCreate', async message => {
    if (message.author.bot || !message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return;

    const args = message.content.slice(PREFIX.length).trim().split(/ +/);
    const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();

    if (command === 'say') {
        await message.channel.send({ 
            content: 'Hello from your bot using T T S.', 
            tts: true 
        });
    }
});

client.login(TOKEN);
