Usually TTS on stream earns money indirectly: viewers tip so their message gets read. In Chat2Speech, earning is built into TTS itself. Viewers buy a voice subscription on your channel, and half of every purchase goes straight to your balance.
Here's how it works, how much you can earn and how to talk about it on stream so viewers actually buy it.
It's a monthly viewer subscription on your channel. The viewer picks a character voice, and their messages play on stream in that voice. The subscription includes:
You set the price: $9.99, $19.99, $49.99, $99.99, $199.99 or $499.99 a month. Half of every purchase goes straight to your balance.
Example: at $9.99 you get $4.99 per subscription. 20 subscribers bring about $99.80 a month, 100 subscribers about $499 a month. For comparison, a standard Twitch sub pays the streamer 50% of net revenue, which is less than $3 for a US Tier 1 sub.
Say 10 viewers on your channel buy a voice subscription at $9.99. Half of each one, about $4.99, goes to you, so roughly $49.90 for 30 days. If some viewers pick a higher tier, income grows without more buyers.
This money doesn't depend on Affiliate status and isn't shared with Twitch: viewers buy the subscription in Chat2Speech and your share builds up on your balance.
Viewers pay to be noticed. A voice subscriber speaks in a premium voice with emotions, laughing or whispering, and is heard even after the daily TTS limit. For an active viewer it's a way to stand out in chat and become part of the show.
The livelier chat TTS is on your stream, the stronger the wish to sound better than everyone else. That's why voice subscriptions sell best on channels where the streamer reacts to messages and jokes along with chat.
A tip is a one-off: the viewer pays, the message plays, done. A voice subscription is recurring income: the viewer gets their voice for a month and is heard on every stream. Renewing is better value for them than tipping each time, and steadier for you.
Tips don't go away: voice subscriptions work alongside them and alongside Twitch subs, not instead of them.
To cash out Twitch subs you need Affiliate or Partner status. Chat2Speech voice subscriptions work from your first stream: you only need to sign in with Twitch and turn on TTS.
Subscriptions are sold in every TTS scheme, whether viewers pick voices themselves or get them for Channel Points. If you want only subscribers to be heard, choose the «Chat2Speech subscribers only» scheme.
Viewers buy subscriptions on your channel's voice page. Put its link in your channel description, panels and a bot command.
The best ad for a voice subscription is TTS itself. When chat hears a funny line in a character's voice, and then a premium voice that laughs and whispers like a live actor, the «how do I get that» questions start pouring in.
Every day you get 7 free minutes of audio, about 100 average messages. For busy chats plans start at $5 a month, and $20 gets you no limit. Subscribers are heard even after your daily limit runs out, so you can sell subscriptions on the free plan too.
Half of every purchase. At $9.99 that's $4.99 per subscription.
