How to Enable and Use Text-to-Speech On Discord

Discord is house to many communities relating to various activities like gaming, photography, science, writing, etc. People with similar tastes and passions connect under a single platform. They can communicate with each other via chat. To make things more convenient Discord offers the Text-to-speech feature. It allows you to transform a text phrase into a speakable form. In this guide, I will teach you how to enable and use this on any channel.

The concept of this feature is quite simple. First, you have to enable the text-to-speech on Discord. Then you have to give a certain command along with your message. As the message is sent, the recipient will listen to it as if you are speaking it out. However, it’s a bot who will read out the message. Now, let’s check out all the steps in detail.
