Our story
About Votaka
Our vision for a more balanced way to consume information
Give Your Eyes a Rest
In our digital age, we spend countless hours staring at screens, reading text, and straining our eyes. Votaka was created with a simple idea: let your eyes rest and take in more of the world around you. Instead of reading everything on a display, why not listen?
By converting text to speech, you can step away from the screen—walk outside, watch the sunset, or close your eyes—while still absorbing what matters through your ears.
Listen to More Ideas and Knowledge
Your ears are powerful tools for learning. With Votaka, turn text, documents, and web pages into audio—news on your commute, long reads while you move, or articles while your hands are busy.
Audio opens new ways to stay informed and curious. Let your ears explore ideas and knowledge while your eyes get the break they deserve.
A Balanced Approach to Information
Votaka is not about abandoning reading—it is about a healthier balance. Use your eyes when you want to, and listen when that fits your day better.
We hope Votaka helps you see more of what you love and hear more of what enriches you—a companion for a calmer, more flexible way to stay informed.
