type it, hear it.
Vozen reads your messages out loud in Discord voice channels. Type in a text channel and everyone in the call hears it — useful when your mic is broken, when you can't talk, or when you just don't want to.
The voice is neural, not robotic — and the good voice is the default, not a paid unlock. Vozen also reconnects on its own when Discord drops it, instead of going quiet for hours.
Then run /setup — it picks the channel to read and turns auto-read on. Join a
voice channel, type in the text channel, and you're done.
- Auto-read — pick a channel with
/setupand Vozen reads everything written there. No prefixes. It also reads mentions of and replies to the bot. - A voice per person — everyone picks their own voice, speed and engine with
/voice config, saves favourites/recent voices, and reads all of their messages in it. - 35 languages, with optional automatic detection — choose any of the 38 voices,
or opt in to per-message detection with
/voice detection on. - Says who's talking — "Sam said hello", with nicknames you can set yourself.
- Reads Discord, not markup — emoji, links, code blocks, spoilers and mentions come out as something a human would say.
- Stays in the call — automatic reconnection; auto-leave when the channel empties.
- Games in voice —
/game playhas 16 games: Wordle, Hangman, Guess the Language, Dictation, Reflexes, Word Chain and more. - Fun commands —
/joke,/laugh,/8-ball,/fortune,/fact,/wyr,/randomizer,/sound,/birthday. - Moderation — blocked words, per-user rate limit, character cap, role gating
and per-channel control, all under
/config. - Private tools anywhere —
/tts-file,/translate text, and the Translate/ Transcribe message actions work ephemerally without joining a call; reviewed actions can be installed as a Discord User App. - Channel profiles — admins can give each channel its own voice, engine, language, speed, limits, bot-reading rule and voice-channel binding from the web dashboard.
- The interface speaks your language — the bot's own replies are translated into 30+ languages and follow each person's Discord language.

Vozen is open source (AGPL-3.0), so you can run your own instance. Three paths — there is nothing easier than inviting the hosted bot:
| Level | Who it's for | How |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | Everyone | Invite the public bot — nothing to install |
| Normal | You want it on your own VPS | docker compose -f docker-compose.rust.prod.yml — Rust self-hosting guide |
| Hard | You want to change it or tune the voices | Rust workspace + Piper/models — development checks |
- Privacy Policy — what is stored, for how long, and how to delete it. Message text is processed and thrown away; it is never used to train anything.
- Terms of Service — acceptable use, warranties, liability.
- User App and public status rollout — reviewed command metadata plus the manual Developer Portal and proxy activation checklist.
- Live service status — coarse bot, database and provider state.
