What is KITT?

KITT is a Discord bot that provides a personalized experience for voice channels. The announcer feature allows users to hear personalized phrases when someone joins or leaves a voice channel.

With support for 224 voices across 44 languages — including a Pro-exclusive Studio tier — server admins and premium users can choose the voice that best fits their preference, and with the ability to set custom messages per user, everyone can have their own personalized announcement.

KITT also offers a text-to-speech command say. KITT can optionally announce when someone in voice chat: is streaming, sharing video, mutes, unmutes, deafens, or undeafens. With KITT, you'll always know what's happening in your voice chat, without having to constantly switch back to Discord to check.

Add KITT to your server

Add KITT to a voice channel

KITT uses Discord's built in slash commands. To use a command, simply type / followed by the command name. In order to use KITT, you must be in a voice channel. In which you can use the /join command to bring KITT into it. Subsequentally, you can use the /leave command to remove KITT from the voice channel.

Change the default voice

Server admins can use the /settings default voice command to set a default voice for the server. This will be the voice used for all announcements unless a user has set a custom voice for themselves. Studio (Pro) voices can't be used as the server default — because the default plays for everyone with no subscription check, it's reserved for standard voices.

Users with a premium subscription can use the voice property in the /phrase join set and /phrase leave set commands to set a custom voice for themselves that will overwrite the server default.

Set your personal voice — everywhere

Tired of setting a voice per phrase, per server? Premium users can pick one voice (and speed) with /myvoice set and KITT uses it for their announcements and /say in every server they share with KITT — zero per-server setup. A voice set on a specific /phrase still wins for that phrase. Check what you have set with /myvoice get, or clear it with /myvoice reset.

Try premium voices free — the test drive

Everyone gets 3 free premium-voice plays each week on the /say command. Pick any voice from the autocomplete, hear it speak your words in your voice channel, and if you find one you love, a subscription keeps it forever — including in your join/leave phrases. The counter resets weekly, and the free plays work on every voice — Studio included (keeping a Studio voice needs the Pro plan).

Studio voices (Pro)

Studio voices are our most natural, human-sounding tier — dramatically closer to a real announcer than the standard catalog. They show up tagged [Pro] in Discord autocomplete and with a PRO badge on the voices page, where you can preview every one. They're exclusive to the Pro plan, for your /myvoice profile, /phrase voices, and /say. Want a taste first? Your weekly free plays work on Studio voices in /say.

Everyone hears your Studio voice. Set one as your /myvoice or on a /phrase and the whole channel hears it — including when KITT announces you joining or leaving, in every server you share with it. The one place a Studio voice can't go is the server default: that plays for everyone without a subscription check, so it stays reserved for standard voices.

Fair-use allowance: Studio synthesis costs us roughly 4× the standard voices, so /say with a Studio voice draws from a generous 100,000 characters per month allowance (that's well over a thousand full-length messages). KITT warns you as you get close, the allowance resets on the 1st, and your join/leave announcements and all standard voices are never counted against it.

Squelch User Announcements

Server admins can use the /squelch command to prevent specific users' phrase announcements from being spoken. This is useful for managing noisy voice channels or temporarily silencing disruptive users without removing their access to the voice channel.

How Squelching Works: When you squelch someone, KITT will stop announcing their voice activity (like joining, leaving, muting, etc.) but they can still use voice chat normally. Think of it as a "mute announcements" feature, not a voice channel ban.

Smart Event Management: Squelch commands are additive - running multiple commands on the same user will combine the events rather than replace them. This makes it easy to gradually add more restrictions or update timing without losing existing settings.

Example Workflow:

1. /squelch add @user events:join duration:1h → User squelched for join (1 hour)
2. /squelch add @user events:leave duration:1d → User squelched for join, leave (1 day)
3. /squelch add @user events:mute duration:forever → User squelched for join, leave, mute (forever)

Notice how events accumulate and the most recent duration applies to all events.
