I emailed 600 people I hadn't spoken to in 14 years.
5 of them became my first paying customers — within 60 minutes.
Here's what I built and why.
I'm partially dyslexic. Long text has always been a struggle.
Since high school I've been converting written content to
audio — articles, reports, white papers, ebooks.
I kept building tools to do this. Eventually one of them
got good enough that content creators started asking for it.
A friend wanted it for creating custom bedtime stories for
her kids. Another had a stack of ebooks he'd never read —
wanted them as audio for his commute. Others were producing
YouTube content and tired of paying per-character for cloud
voiceover tools.
That personal tool became a full desktop voice AI studio.
63 voices, voice cloning, 23 languages, multi-speaker
editing, professional mastering. Everything runs locally —
no uploading scripts to someone else's server.
Then 3 days ago I emailed 600 customers from a product I
built in 2012. Plain text, no design. Some of them bought.
Revenue before the product even launched publicly.
Tonight it goes live.
For content creators here — how much of your workflow
involves voiceovers? And what's your biggest frustration
with the tools you're using now?
