Discord Text to Speech Bot

Allow people unable to use voice chat to speak.

Configure a text channel source and a voice channel for output. The bot will convert any messages in the text channel into audio played in the voice channel.

Run on an ubuntu host.

Installation

Install supervisor to auto-start the bot.

apt-get update
apt-get install -y ffmpeg python3-pip

Create directory and clone repo.

cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/westonhowe98/TextToSpeechBot
cd /opt/TextToSpeechBot

Copy the secrets file and populate the token with your Discord bot token. Create a new json file to store Google Cloud API Service credentials.

cp secrets.example.py secrets.py
nano secrets.py
nano GoogleAppCreds.json

Install the required python libraries.

pip3 install --upgrade discord.py google-cloud-texttospeech

Make the script executable and configure the bot as a service. Enable and start the bot.

chmod +x main.py
cp TextToSpeechBot.service /lib/systemd/system/TextToSpeechBot.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable TextToSpeechBot.service
systemctl start TextToSpeechBot.service

Usage

After the bot has started, have it join your Discord server. Use the prefixed commands in any channel to configure the text and voice channels.

>set text #yourTextChannelNameHere
>set voice VoiceChannelNameHere
>save

Once the settings have been configured for the first time restart the bot.

systemctl restart TextToSpeechBot.service
