Voce is a terminal TTS tool that reads Markdown aloud with syntax-aware pronunciation of code—uttering operators, casts, and idioms in each language's canonical phrasing rather than symbol-by-symbol or as prose. It adds word-level highlighting synced to speech, resume-on-quit, Claude Code reply integration, local Kokoro voices, and MP3 export. The pairing-partner code-reading angle is a genuinely differentiated take on an otherwise crowded TTS space.
Target audience: developers, especially those consuming AI agent output or reviewing code hands-free
