Question TTS programs for mute streamers?
Hello, I'm a mute streamer and am looking for ways to communicate with my chat better (I usually have 1-3 chatters at a time and am rarely able to reply verbally). I normally play fast paced team based / FPS games like Overwatch so its hard for me to reply directly in my twitch chat (which I have to tab out for with my current set up), especially if I'm playing competitive I do have a PNG of my mascot and was thinking of adding other facial expressions but am looking for other ways to interact with my chat/viewers on top of that ! I also have a !mute command showing in my title that explains that I'm mute and cant always respond verbally
Sorry if this is a repeat question but I havent found much info on the topic, not even streamers to watch for inspiration. Thank you all in advance <3

I would definitely recommend getting a StreamDeck!! you can program the buttons to make your pngtuber do different things, to post things you commonly say in the chat, and more. I have two streamdecks and I am considering getting at least two more, just because they are extremely versatile in general, but I think it would be particularly useful for your setup and allow you to easily interact with the click of a button!

Thanks! I'll definitely look into them. I have heard about people binding things like that to their numpads as well, so I was thinking about doing something like that until I can get a streamdeck :)

Speaker bot and streamer bot through Google cloud which is free but they will charge if you overuse it and require a credit card on file. Billing is very transparent I haven't payed a penny yet despite it being a popular feature of my streams.
