TTS Provider Selection

Pick a primary TTS provider with an automatic fallback — if the primary fails, the system switches to your fallback right away. If the fallback also fails, it falls back to the browser's Web Speech API as a last resort.

What it does​

  • Pick a primary provider from 4 options: Web Speech, Google, OpenAI, Gemini
  • Set a fallback provider for when the primary fails
  • System automatically falls back to Web Speech API when both fail
  • Every donation that passes filters is read by the selected provider

Where to find it​

Settings → TTS Voice tab

Settings → TTS Voice page showing Primary and Fallback provider dropdowns
Pick your primary and fallback provider

Inputs / configurable settings​

  • Primary provider — webspeech / google / openai / gemini
  • Fallback provider — used when the primary fails

Outputs / what happens​

  • Every donation that passes filters is read by the selected provider
  • If the primary fails → use fallback → use Web Speech

Use case​

Run Gemini as primary for the great voice quality + auto-tone, but set Google Cloud TTS as fallback in case Gemini's quota runs out or the network goes down — your stream's TTS keeps going without missing a beat.
