I have a lot of social anxiety involving my voice and would like to reply back to people in Skype/TeamSpeak/Discord. Using text chat isn't always an option because the people I talk to don't often look at it. I've been told I should just set my speaker output next to the microphone but that would cause a whole bunch of unwanted sounds to be picked up, like everyone else's voice and Windows sounds, etc.

  • Not a duplicate. Asking for a program that specifically pushes text to speech through a virtual microphone and nothing else. – Qaus Jan 13 '16 at 08:30

    Beware: softonic.com has been known to distribute PUPs. You should link directly to github (https://github.com/mattingalls/Soundflower). In addition Soundflower is a MAC program so useless on Windows. – DavidPostill Aug 16 '16 at 07:53

(Yes old thread) Voicemeeter on Windows (I use it on 10) will allow you to define virtual devices and route output through it to your inputs. For example you can define a virtual device to which your TTS program sends its sound, and use that as the microphone input. It does much more, like giving a virtual mixer so you can use other inputs (playing a media file while overdubbing with the microphone) simultaneously. It takes a bit to set up.
Get it here.

    Please read [How do I recommend software](https://meta.superuser.com/questions/5329/how-do-i-recommend-software-in-my-answers/5330#5330) for some tips as to how you should go about recommending software. You should provide at least a link, some additional information about the software itself, and how it can be used to solve the problem in the question. – DavidPostill Mar 01 '17 at 13:41

well you can always just use textreader or a similar software near your microphone. Not the most elegant solution but hey it works.
