voca isn't a nostr client.

But we only shill on nostr.

Very early stage work in progress.

Currently gauging if there is demand, which seems to be the case.

This is how voca works:

When you select text on a PDF or webpage, click the *Share* button to access three options:

1. **Read Now**: Instantly start reading the text aloud, with the Voca UI highlighting spoken words in real time.

2. **Queue**: Add the text to a background queue for later reading, similar to bookmarking.

3. **Create MP3**: Generate an audio file in the background and optionally send it to your podcast app queue.

Voca uses sherpaTTS under the hood, maybe you can just use that directly? I remember a play button in older amethyst versions that did TTS.

Voca is scoped to be android only, at least at first.

It could potentially take an rss feed or npub and wait for new events to be added to the queue.

It should work on any android, but grapheneOS is the prime target.

There shouldn't be any integration needed, the app reads any text shared with it.

The flow would be: copy text > share > voca read now

**Voca: Local-First Text-to-Speech for GrapheneOS**

#Introductions

Voca is a text-to-speech application, built by cypherpunks for cypherpunks.

Voca is free and open-source, designed exclusively for GrapheneOS. It operates fully offline with zero Google dependencies.

You can queue and render text instantly, no tracking, no ads, no compromises. Just text read aloud for you.

Development is funded exclusively by donations: the more you zap, the more we ship.

Voca is just getting started, so if you want to see this app in reality, let us know we're on the right track with a fat zap to pay the devs.
