It's absolutely crucial for people with speech impairments like aphonia or dysphonia. It ensures inclusivity and allows everyone to participate fully, promoting accessibility and community engagement.

Setup

  1. Install Wamellow on your server by going to wamellow.com/add .
  2. Head to the dashboard by going to wamellow.com/dashboard .
  3. 🎉 Done! Use the commands /tts voice to talk inside voice channels.

Chat to Speech (optional)
  1. Select a channel to be used in the "Text to Speech" section on the website
  2. Join any voice channel in your Server (be sure Wamellow can join and talk in it).
  3. 🎉 Done! Start writing messages in the selected channel for Wamellow to speak!

To get a quick **.mp3 file** of your message, use `/tts file` in any text channel.

📑 Usage logs

 Pick a channel where any Text to Speech events from your server should be logged, mainly for moderation purposes.

Note: This does not log any /tts file command usage.

😷 Priority role

 Pick a role that lets users override other messages that are currently being spoken. This lets users start talking right away without the "please wait..." message popping up. It's a good idea to give this role to people who are actually disabled.

🔉 Announce user

 Wamellow will announce which user is currently talking through it. If a user says "hello there," the bot will speak "Luna says: hello there."

Note: This feature is experimental. Please note that usernames written in languages other than the actual written message will cause the Text to Speech to fail.

🛒 Message queue

 Queue up sent messages, messages are spoked in the same order as they were written.

🔏 Max message length

 Set a maximum length for messages to avoid spamming.

Discord Nitro members can send messages with up to 4,000 characters, while non-Nitro members can only send 2,000. This is a Discord limitation.

While this feature is free, we would be grateful if you could consider shooting us a donation or voting on top.gg . Please note that messages longer than 300 characters are vote locked. Unfortunately, money and growth (sadly) don't grow on trees (money isn't exactly normal paper).

🤚 Blacklist users & roles

 If you want to prevent certain users from using text or chat to speech, you can either use Discord's channel or integration permission system. (watch a tutorial )

Server nodes & regions

For optimal latency and performance when using Text to Speech in voice channels, Wamellow has multiple server nodes in different regions. A list of available nodes and regions can be found on the status page .

If the voice channel's Region Override is set to Automatic, it will default to Frankfurt, Germany. If an override is set, it will use the selected region, if available.

Avoiding Chat-to-Speech

To prevent Wamellow from speaking your messages inside of Chat to Speech channels, simply take the following actions:
  • Just add some special characters at the start of your message, like !, ?, >, ., , and so on.
  • If you're not connected to any voice channels, those messages will also be ignored.
  • If you want to disable it permanently, you can use /tts set chat-to-speech.

Note: Any of those methods only apply to you and your own messages, and not to anyone else using chat to speech. If you want to disable it for everyone, read the setup section of these docs .

Voice filters

Filters are a way to tamper with the voices when using Wamellow in VCs, they can be toggled using /tts set filter by VC moderators. This setting applies to anyone currently using Wamellow in the VC, all filters will be removed once Wamellow leaves. Multiple filters can be enabled and used at the same time.

All currently available filters:

To change the volume of the TTS or mute it entirely for yourself,

Troubleshooting

If Wamellow joins the voice channel but doesn't speak, check that it has the Connect and Speak permissions in the channel settings. If it does, please report the issue to us .

If Wamellow says that someone else's message is still being spoken, but it's not talking, use /tts voice-stop. You can also use this to stop any message that is currently being spoken (i.e.: because of spam).
