How To Get the Santa Hat on TikTok
In recent days some users have been excited to see a Santa hat appear on their profile picture in the app. If you’re looking to give your picture a festive flourish, simply follow these steps:
How To Get TikTok’s Santa Text-to-Speech
For a limited time the app has put a twist on the popular text-to-speech (TTS) feature that allows users to have text read out loud in the app.
Step 2: Click on “Post to view” and take a picture of anything you like—or hold to take a video.
Step 3: Click on the check mark to share your Now and refresh your profile to see your new Santa hat on your profile.
TikTok’s text-to-speech feature made headlines in November when the voice of the standard and world-famous text-to-speech feature was unmasked as voiceover artist, radio presenter and podcaster Kat Callaghan.
Callaghan told Newsweek: “It’s been absolutely wild being the voice on TikTok. I started in radio and then started my own voiceover company in 2015. Since then, I’ve been a part of all kinds of really cool projects—this one is certainly a highlight for me of course.”
To have Santa read your words, follow these steps:
A spokesperson for TikTok told Newsweek: “Text-to-speech empowers users with a new, fun way to liven up their creations—letting voices like Santa’s tell their story. We’re always thinking about new ways to add value to the community and enrich the TikTok experience, as we continue to build a safe place that entertains, inspires creativity, and drives culture. The Santa text-to-speech voice will be available through the holidays.”
Step 2: Tap on the text and select the “text-to-speech” icon that looks like a person speaking.
Step 3: Select the “Santa” bubble to have him read out your text.
Step 4: Click next to post your video and spread extra holiday cheer.
