How do I echo a voice command to Twitch chat?

Hi,
I’m interested in voice controlling my Twitch live stream.
How can I echo a command to Twitch chat in my channel?
Thanks,
Neil

Hi, Neil.

Sorry... I totally missed this one during the down time/forum move :(

Could you be a little more specific on what it is you are trying to accomplish?

Hi,

I’m very keen on being able to issue bot commands (or other messages) via voice and have them typed and executed in chat. A bit like you can achieve with a Stream Deck.

I use Phantombot.

VoiceAttack can send keypresses to any application, however that would mean switching focus to it, meaning your input would no longer be sent to any game you may be playing at the time until focus is switched back.

This "Stream Deck"(I'll assume you're referring to the Elgato product) likely uses some other means of interfacing, allowing it to send messages to the Twitch chat directly.

If you want to emulate the latter, you'd have to write a plugin or inline function through which VoiceAttack would communicate with Twitch using their API(there is an unofficial C# library available).


For the bot you're using, it does appear to be possible to send commands or messages to that directly, as shown here.
You could have VoiceAttack run curl with the required parameters.

Sounds very complicated.

Thanks for your reply.
