[Madevadegreat]

I have a question.
Can I fill the narrative voice on YouTube using a robotic voice from the text to speech application?
Is it forbiden or not. thank you.

Interesting question. There is nothing in the Community Guidelines or Terms of Service that prohibit text to speech. But I've always heard it said that text to speech channels can't be monetized.

I just went through those policies and didn't see anything that specifically referenced text to speech, but others may have specific examples or knowledge of how it might impact monetization..

thank you for the information, SILTHW.

I don't think it's against YT's ToS to use text to speech. I personally don't watch videos like that myself since I don't like most voices for text to speech.

Also, this isn't a TubeBuddy question. Please read the topic of the section before posting

funnily enough, it isn't against YT's ToS but it does have an impact on weather some channels will get monetised as it does come across as mass spam with lack of qualiy. I never really like text to speech videos myself and as soon as I hear the voice, I just close and assume it's a re-uploaded spam video, and I think that's why YouTube tend to NOT monetise text to speech videos as it's usually a re-uploaded copyright violation video, even if the practice of using text to speech in it'self isn't against terms of service.

This is not allowed under YouTube Terms of services for monetization of videos as it comes under automation. My advice is to stay away from Text To Speech videos even though you might find many youtube channels with high volumes of views in this TTS content.
