vozonda 0.7.4

Turn sources into your podcast

Vozonda reads them, voices make waves, you listen.

What is Vozonda?

Give Vozonda articles, papers, PDFs, audio files, podcast episodes, screenshots, YouTube videos, RSS feeds or your own notes, and it turns them into the show you want. Audio sources are transcribed locally.

• Fourteen show formats: deep dive, quick brief, debate, critique, morning dispatch of your feeds, feature story, explainer, three-voice roundtable, and more.
• One to three voices, or a single narrator: in ten languages; translates sources into the language you want to hear.
• Watchlists: turn RSS feeds into a daily or weekly digest that fills your feed automatically.
• Every episode comes with: chapters, transcripts, takeaways, highlights, and shareable clips; read and fix the script before it is voiced.
• Self-hosted & private: runs on your hardware with Docker. Voice generation runs on CPU by default with Kokoro (no GPU required). No cloud logins, no telemetry, and no subscriptions.
• Personal RSS feed: publishes episodes to your private podcast feed with chapters and transcripts, compatible with any podcast player, and optionally to Nostr.
