Tips for streamers, setup guides and project news. TikLive TTS is a free, open-source desktop app that reads your chat out loud.
What is TikLive TTS and why is it free?
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 and YouTube at the same time, merges the messages into a single ordered queue and narrates them with voices in 13 languages.
The project is 100% free and open source. There is no paid tier, no locked features, and the full source code is available on
GitHub. If you want to support development, donations are voluntary and never gate access to anything.
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.
