This is a simple TTS Bot that uses the Google Translate TTS API. With this bot you can send Text-to-Speech messages in multiple languages.

To self-host this bot you'll need the following:

• git
• node.js
• ffmpeg

ffmpeg should be installed by default on Linux and MacOS, in case it isn't, install it with your package manager. For Windows users, head over to ffmpeg's official website to download the binary which will need to be added to your $PATH. If you don't know how to add folders to your $PATH, check out this guide.

In order to self-host this bot, first you'll need to clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/moonstar-x/discord-tts-bot.git

Then, inside the config folder, rename the file settings.json.example to settings.json and edit the file with your own Discord Token and the prefix you wish to use. If you don't have a discord token yet, you can see a guide on how to create it here. Your file should look like this.

{
  "discord_token": "YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN",
  "prefix": "$",
  "allow_more_than_200_chars": "yes"
}

The allow_more_than_200_chars property lets you choose wether you want TTS messages longer than 200 characters to be played (default: yes).

Install the dependencies:

npm install

You can now run your bot:
