Free and open source, local first & offline.
Fully value for value, zap to pay the devs.
Night owl? Voca’s dark-mode narration lets you ‘read’ without glaring screens. Perfect for late-night learning sessions.

Not yet profitable, but also not nothing.
Your GrapheneOS just became an audiobook powerhouse. Voca turns articles, docs, even web pages into instant narration—no internet, no trackers. Love it? Zap it!
Turn your Android into a pocket narrator. Voca reads articles, PDFs, even web pages aloud—no Wi-Fi, no ads. Perfect for road trips or bedtime stories. Your eyes will thank you.
You know the devs are starting to figure it out when:


PDFs piling up? Let Voca declutter your mind by reading them aloud during your walk. No apps spying, no ads interrupting, just you and the content.
Imagine: Your phone narrates news sites without tracking your clicks. Voca makes it real. Browse freely, listen privately.
voca v0.0.6 is released!
This release fine tunes the release process and makes publishing to @Zapstore a lot easier.
There are also continuous improvements to initializing the text to speech engine for a faster startup.
We're laying the groundwork for some major features in the upcoming releases, stay tuned!
Hate ads? Voca skips the nonsense. Just share, press play, and let your ears absorb the content. Clean, simple, and totally offline.
voca turns any text into an audio book.
Turn downtime into learning time. Voca reads saved articles while you’re between meetings or waiting for coffee. Knowledge on tap, no Wi-Fi needed.
Do you even realize how crazy the nostr is?!
Voca’s npub is barely a week old, our first release dropped yesterday, and already the community zapped over **300k sats** into existence.
Nostr is still a fledgling protocol, yet here we are—operating at a scale where decentralized funding can bootstrap an entirely new application that's nor even a nostr client.
This isn’t incremental change—it’s a new paradigm.
The message is clear: **Build. Ship. Repeat.** The future isn’t just bright—it’s already here, and it's a future where you can just build stuff.
voca v0.0.5 is released!
This one has only some beautification, now the text box is always full screen.
Three releases in a day - if that's not worth a zap I don't know what is...
voca v0.0.4 released!
This release focuses on delivering a smoother experience with faster performance, fewer errors, and foundational backend upgrades to support future features.
Get it on @Zapstore

Keep zapping, it motivates the devs, we might get a second release today!
