TeamSpeak TTS Bridge

The TeamSpeak TTS Bridge is for orgs that live in both worlds: StarBot connects to your TeamSpeak server over ServerQuery, watches its text chat, and speaks those messages aloud in a Discord voice channel using AI text-to-speech. Discord members sitting in the linked voice channel hear what's being typed on TeamSpeak — no alt-tabbing, no second client.

Everything is configured in Discord with the /teamspeak-ttsadminElite command (there is no dashboard card for this feature). The command is admin-only.

Setup

You'll need ServerQuery credentials for your TeamSpeak server: the host, a ServerQuery username and password, and — if they differ from the defaults — the query port (default 10011) and server port (default 9987).

1. 1
   Connect to TeamSpeak. Run /teamspeak-tts setup host: username: password: [query_port:] [server_port:] with your ServerQuery credentials. The bot connects and stays connected — it also auto-reconnects to saved servers after a restart.
2. 2
   Link a Discord voice channel. Run /teamspeak-tts link voice_channel: and pick the Discord voice channel where speech should play. The bot joins it and starts speaking TeamSpeak text chat.
3. 3
   Position the bot on TeamSpeak. Run /teamspeak-tts channels to list your TeamSpeak channels with their IDs, then /teamspeak-tts move channel: to place the bot where your members chat. The bridge also follows activity, moving toward where TeamSpeak users are.
4. 4
   Tune the voice. Pick a voice with /teamspeak-tts voice and adjust pacing with /teamspeak-tts speed (0.25–4.0, default 1.0). Check everything with /teamspeak-tts status.

Credits

Speech generation costs TTS credits, metered by characters spoken. Elite includes $1.50 of TTS credits per month; credits reset monthly and unused credits do not roll over. Check your balance any time:

When the balance runs low, the embed adds a warning with a link to purchase additional TTS credits through the bot's Discord store page. credits is the one subcommand that works without Elite, so you can always check where you stand.

Troubleshooting

Setup fails to connect — verify the host and that ServerQuery is enabled on your TeamSpeak server, and double-check the query port (10011 by default — this is not the voice port). ServerQuery credentials are separate from your normal TeamSpeak login.

Nothing is spoken in Discord — confirm a voice channel is linked (/teamspeak-tts status), the bot has permission to join and speak in it, and the bot is sitting in the right TeamSpeak channel (channels + move). Also check credits — an exhausted balance stops speech until the monthly reset or a top-up.

Speech is too fast or slow — /teamspeak-tts speed accepts 0.25 (quarter speed) through 4.0 (quadruple speed); 1.0 is normal.
