Can I use text to speech on YouTube live stream chat? And other iPhone streaming questions (self.Blind)
submitted by RollForParadise
I’m thinking of playing around with streaming my writing sessions. However I can only use iPads/iPhones. I use voiceover and I was wondering if there’s a way to automatically have the chat be read out loud? I think there are software’s on computers that are available but I physically can’t use the keyboard. Or if twitch is easier to access is there anything on there?
I’m trying to figure out how to stand up my iPad or phone on the wall. And I was wondering if a trackpad or something similar would work? I can’t reach very far so if the iPad is 3 feet in front of me I would like an easy way to swipe control voiceover on the screen. Thanks for any advice!

At the following link, I created some JavaScript that reads chat out loud on YouTube: https://pastebin.com/raw/7QbtFLKt
On any live chat stream on YouTube, copy all of that script, then on the live stream page that has chat enabled, press "ctrl + shift+ j" and paste it into the console. It will then speak all of the messages that have been sent, and continue speaking new messages that are sent in chat.
I might make a plugin for it later if I remember. Though, I wanted to go ahead and reply with this just in case I forgot, and you were left to search for solutions on your own.
edit: I tested and created it in Chrome.
edit 2: I just realized you said you can only use iPads/iPhones. The previous instructions might not be too helpful if you can't access a developer console. I still can probably make an extension for a compatible browser, but I haven't done so yet.

Hi, I've been looking for ways to read Youtube chat and I stumbled across your comment. Do you have a link to that Chrom extention? About to try out your javascript code. Thanks.

Hey there! Thank you, I’m sure this can help out another person who is looking into streaming. But as I mentioned I physically cannot use a keyboard or computer.
I’ve heard there is perhaps a new setting on Apple‘s iPhone/iPad that can keep an eye out for changes and something? I’m not sure but I’m going to look into that next.
