WildcatTTS can now describe what emotes look like instead of reading out the emote name. This makes emote-heavy messages much more accessible and natural to listen to.

How it works:

  • When someone sends a message like hello LUL nice play Kappa, TTS will say:
    "hello, laughing face emote, nice play, smirking face emote."
  • Repeated emotes get collapsed.
    LUL LUL LUL becomes "3 laughing face emotes."
  • Descriptions appear inline where the emote was used, keeping conversational flow.
  • Descriptions are cached so repeated emotes are instant.

Emote modes available:

  • Describe emotes — describes what the emote depicts visually (new).
  • Read emote names — reads the emote code as-is (e.g. "LUL", "Kappa").
  • Skip emotes — removes emotes from TTS entirely.

How to configure:

  1. Go to the WildcatTTS Dashboard.
  2. Open the Broadcaster tab (the default tab).
  3. Find the Emote Mode dropdown.
  4. Select Describe emotes.
  5. The setting saves automatically.

This works with all Twitch emotes including channel-specific and subscriber emotes.
