Aar318's Twitch TTS: Chat Reader with Custom Voices & Themes

Enhance your Twitch experience with real-time text-to-speech for chat messages. This lightweight extension uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API to read Twitch chat aloud, with customizable voices, volume, bot exclusions, custom name pronunciations, and fun holiday themes.

⚡ Quick Install Steps
- Click Add to Chrome on the Chrome Web Store page.
- When prompted, choose Add extension.
- Open Chrome’s Extensions menu (puzzle‑piece icon) and Pin Twitch TTS so the icon is always visible.
- Refresh your Twitch tab and the TTS controls will load instantly. The extension starts disabled by default, giving you full control over when chat reading begins.
- You can toggle TTS on/off at any time by clicking the extension icon or using the injected button on Twitch pages. Settings (voice, volume, custom maps, bot lists, themes) are available through the icon’s right‑click menu or the in‑page settings panel.

Key Features:

Real-Time TTS: Automatically reads new chat messages using browser TTS voices. Supports emoji compression, bot filtering, and custom name mappings (e.g., "xthexpanx" as "Spanks").

Easy Controls: Toggle TTS on/off with a single click on the extension icon or an injected button on Twitch pages. Right-click the icon for quick access to settings.

Settings Panel: Choose from available browser voices, adjust volume, manage custom name maps and bot lists via textareas, and enable/disable holiday themes and emoji features.

Username Autocomplete: Caches recent usernames from chat for easy addition to custom maps (up to 5000 entries, with automatic pruning).

Holiday Themes: Automatically applies fun, seasonal CSS themes to the UI (e.g., 🎄 for Christmas) based on the date, with an option to disable.

Privacy Focused: All settings, caches, and custom lists are stored locally. No external servers, no data collection, and no network requests beyond Twitch's own domain.


This extension works exclusively on Twitch.tv tabs and starts disabled by default for user control.
