Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm James, I run a small studio in the UK and built Vocalink to scratch my own itch.
I read on screens all day, and two things kept happening: I'd miss typos in my own writing because I was reading what I meant to write, and my eyes were fried by the afternoon.
Vocalink fixes both: highlight any text in any app, press a hotkey, and it reads it back in a natural voice from a little widget that floats over your work.
A few things I care about:
On-device voices (Kokoro neural TTS) — nothing gets sent to a server, and it works offline.
It's not an audiobook tool. It's for quick, in-the-moment reading of what's on your screen — proofing an email, catching a typo, giving your eyes a break.
One-time £29.99, 15-day trial, no subscription.
Just shipped today. I'd genuinely love feedback on the voices and the workflow, what would make this a daily-driver for you? I'll be here all day answering.

Do any of you "read" with your ears during the day?

Not audiobooks, I mean everyday stuff, like an article, a long email, a paragraph you wrote and want to sanity-check.

I've been leaning on text-to-speech for quick on-screen reading and it's changed how I work.

Anyone else do this?
