As a non-verbal individual, I think that I, and many others in the server, who can’t or don’t want to speak, should have the ability to use some sort of TTS (Text-to-Speech) bot in VC channels!! <33
Oftentimes, people in VC, understandably, don’t read the VC text chat - which makes it really hard for members like me to communicate!! Due to the fact I can’t speak verbally, having my messages actually heard, in my opinion, would make a huge difference!!
Implementing a TTS bot would for sure make the server more inclusive, and help people like myself express ourselves audibly instead of getting buried in the chat - especially since most people use VC in the background and can’t monitor text messages constantly.
As I understand the risk of trolls and etcetera, maybe there could be some sort of approval or application system for using the TTS bot, similar to with PluralKit? Though I’m not sure exactly what the best approach would be!! <33
I really enjoy being in VC because it helps me feel included and understanding of people’s tone(s), but it’s honestly frustrating when I go unnoticed simply because I can’t speak. A TTS system would definitely fix that for me, and many others who are in a similar situation!! <33

😭💔🫶
