Kick TTS: how to add text-to-speech to your Kick stream

Updated November 2026 · Written by the TTS Mom team

Everything a Kick streamer needs to get messages read aloud on stream: what can trigger it, which voices you can use and what viewers type.

Who wrote this: this site is made by the team behind TTS Mom, a text-to-speech service for Twitch and Kick streamers. This guide uses TTS Mom, which won the $20k KICK Dev Bounty for its Kick integration.

Does Kick have TTS?

Kick does not read viewer messages aloud on your stream by itself. Kick TTS is added with a tool that connects to your channel, listens for events and plays the audio through a browser source in OBS. TTS Mom does this for Kick and Twitch from the same dashboard.

What can trigger TTS on Kick

Kick event	How it works
Channel point rewards	A viewer redeems a reward with a message and it is read on stream
Kicks (gifts)	Gifted Kicks with a message trigger TTS, with a minimum you choose
Subscriptions	New subs and resubs can be read aloud
Tips	Tips sent through StreamElements or Streamlabs trigger TTS with the tip message

Each trigger has its own on/off switch and minimum.

Kick TTS voices

AI voices from the TTS Mom gallery. Community-made voices in many languages, included with the service. Preview them in the voice gallery.
ElevenLabs and MiniMax. Connect your own account to use voices you already have.
Classic voices. The standard synthetic voices streaming chats have used for years.

Every voice can have its own image that appears on screen while it speaks, including animated GIFs.

Kick TTS commands: what viewers type

A plain message is read in your default voice. To do more, viewers use a short format inside the message:

narrator: Welcome back to the stream. (12)
villain.r: You should not have come here.
narrator.fn: Meanwhile, somewhere on the highway...

name: switches to that voice. A message can use as many voices as the viewer wants.
(12) plays sound effect number 12 at that exact point in the message.
.r, .fn and similar suffixes are filters and backgrounds (reverb, pitch, a driving ambience and so on). They stack.

Because voices and sounds are different on every channel, TTS Mom gives each streamer a public audience page that lists them with previews. Put the link in your Kick panels so nobody has to ask in chat.

Kick TTS sounds

There are hundreds of built-in sound effects that viewers can place anywhere in a message, and you can upload your own. You control the sound volume and how many sounds one message may play. Background ambiences, such as traffic or a restaurant, can play behind the voice.

Setup in OBS

Sign in at tts.mom and connect your Kick account.
Connect StreamElements or Streamlabs if you take tips there.
Choose your voices, sounds and filters.
Copy your overlay link and add it to OBS as a Browser source. Keep the link private.
Redeem a test message on your own channel to check the audio.

Moderation on Kick

Every message is checked before it plays. You set the content filter level, add blocked words and can ban individual viewers from TTS for a set time or permanently. Up to 3 moderators can manage voices and skip or pause messages from the queue.

Streaming on Kick and Twitch together

If you multistream, both platforms feed the same overlay and the same queue, so messages never overlap. Kick emotes, Twitch emotes and 7TV emotes all render in the on-screen alert.

Add TTS to your Kick stream

Connect Kick, pick your voices and paste one link into OBS.

Frequently asked questions

Does Kick have text-to-speech?

Kick does not include built-in TTS that reads viewer messages on stream. Streamers add it with a third-party tool such as TTS Mom, which connects to the Kick channel and plays audio through a browser source in OBS.

How do I set up TTS on Kick?

Connect your Kick account to TTS Mom, choose which events trigger TTS (channel point rewards, Kicks, subs or tips), pick your voices, and add the overlay link to OBS as a browser source.

What voices can I use for Kick TTS?

TTS Mom includes a gallery of community-made AI voices, supports ElevenLabs and MiniMax voices from your own account, and has the classic synthetic voices.

What are the Kick TTS commands?

With TTS Mom, viewers type a voice name followed by a colon to choose a voice, a number in parentheses to play a sound effect, and short suffixes after the voice name to add filters. Each channel has an audience page listing its voices and sounds.

Can I use the same TTS on Kick and Twitch?

Yes. TTS Mom supports both platforms from one dashboard and one overlay, which is useful if you multistream.
