Step 1 of 7Sign in with Twitch
1

Sign in with the Twitch account that owns your channel

This lets Creati's Bot create the reward on the correct channel.

Select Login at the top of the site, approve the Twitch authorization, and continue to the dashboard. If Twitch shows more than one account, confirm you are using the broadcaster account—not a separate bot or moderator account.

Watch: Twitch login and authorization

Open Rewards and start a new reward

Start in Creati's Bot rather than creating an empty reward on Twitch.

From the dashboard, open Rewards in the navigation. Select Create Reward near the top of the page or the Add New Reward card in your reward list.

You will land on a page titled Add a feature. This is where you decide what happens when a viewer redeems the reward.

Choose Text to Speech

This is the feature that reads each viewer's submitted message aloud.

Choose Text to Speech from the feature list. Creati's Bot will configure the new Twitch reward to require viewer text, so you do not need to create or bind a separate reward on Twitch first.

Using a reward you already have

Open the reward from your Rewards page, select Add Features, and choose Text to Speech. In Twitch, confirm that Require Viewer to Enter Text is enabled.

Watch: Select Text to Speech

Pick a voice and set its volume

Preview a voice, choose it, and set a starting volume.

The voice picker opens on the AI tab. Use the play control on a voice to hear its sample, or switch to Standard for classic voices. Selecting a voice advances you to the volume screen.

Preview the selected voice again, adjust the volume, and choose Next. Start around the middle of the slider; you can edit the feature later after hearing it alongside your microphone and game audio.

Choose the reward details and create it

Set the title, price, and color viewers will see on Twitch.

Review the suggested title, choose a Channel Point cost, and select a color. The creator offers 500, 1,000, 1,500, and 2,000-point presets, plus a custom amount. For TTS, the default starting price is 1,500 points.

Select Create Reward. Creati's Bot creates the reward through Twitch, enables viewer message input, attaches the selected TTS voice, and returns you to the Rewards page with the new reward highlighted.

Unsure about the price? Use the Channel Point reward calculator to compare a price with your stream length and viewers' expected watch time.

Add the Alert URL to OBS

This Browser Source is what plays the TTS alert on stream.

If the dashboard shows Just one final step!, choose Set Up Alerts. You can also copy the Alert URL from the dashboard Home page or from Profile → Copy Alert URL.

Keep the Alert URL private. It contains your unique alert key. Treat it like a password and do not display it in screenshots, videos, chat, or public browser windows.

First, in Creati's Bot

  1. 1Choose Set Up Alerts, or open Profile → Copy Alert URL.
  2. 2Copy the complete Alert URL before switching to OBS.

Then, in OBS

  1. 1In Sources, select + → Browser.
  2. 2Name it Creati Alerts and paste the URL.
  3. 3Use your stream resolution. For 1080p, enter 1920 × 1080.
  4. 4Select OK and keep the source visible in scenes that should play alerts.
7

Verify the connection and test the reward

Make sure the alert reaches OBS before you go live.

Return to the setup window and select I've added the browser source. Creati's Bot checks whether the Alert page is connected. If it succeeds, send a test alert and confirm you can see and hear it in OBS.

Finally, open your Twitch channel, redeem the new reward, and enter a short message. The redemption should reach the Browser Source and play with the voice and volume you selected.

You are ready to go live

Once the real redemption plays in OBS, your core setup is complete. Keep the Browser Source active and adjust the reward after hearing how it fits your stream mix.

Open your RewardsSomething not working?

If your TTS reward does not play

The dashboard cannot detect the Browser Source

Confirm that the Alert URL was copied completely, the OBS Browser Source is visible, and the source has finished loading. Wait a moment, then run the connection check again.

The alert appears but has no sound

Check that the Browser Source and OBS audio are not muted, then compare the TTS feature volume with your other audio sources. Send another test before going live.

Viewers cannot enter a TTS message

The Twitch reward must require viewer text. Rewards created through the current TTS flow enable this automatically; manually created or older rewards may need that setting enabled in Twitch.

An existing Twitch reward is missing

Open Profile in the Creati's Bot dashboard and use Refresh Rewards, then return to the Rewards page.

Common questions

Do I need to create the Channel Point reward in Twitch first?

No. The easiest path is to create it from Creati's Bot. Choose Text to Speech, configure the voice, and the bot creates the Twitch reward with viewer text input enabled and TTS already attached.

Can I add TTS to a Channel Point reward I already have?

Yes. Open the existing reward from the Rewards dashboard, choose Add Features, and add Text to Speech. The Twitch reward must have Require Viewer to Enter Text enabled so viewers can submit a message.

How much should a TTS Channel Point reward cost?

A 1,500-point starting price works for many streams, but the right price depends on your schedule and how often you want TTS used. Use the Channel Point reward calculator to compare the price with viewer watch time.

Does the Browser Source need to stay in OBS?

Yes. The Browser Source receives and plays TTS, sound, and video alerts. Keep it in the scenes where alerts should work, and do not share its private Alert URL.

Can I use Streamlabs or another streaming app?

Yes, as long as the streaming application supports Browser Sources or web page sources. Add the same private Alert URL and use your stream resolution for the source dimensions.
