PingVoice Desktop

The official desktop app for PingVoice — turn API calls into instant spoken notifications.

PingVoice lets your systems speak. Send a POST request to the API, and hear it announced in real-time. Built for developers who want audio alerts for CI/CD pipelines, AI agents, server monitoring, and long-running jobs.

What is PingVoice?

PingVoice is a text-to-speech API notification service. Send a POST request to the API, and the message is converted to speech and delivered instantly via WebSocket to your browser or this desktop app.

Why audio? Sound reaches you when your eyes are elsewhere. No more watching terminals or refreshing dashboards.

Use Cases

• CI/CD Pipelines — Know when builds and deploys finish
• AI Coding Assistants — Get notified when Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot need input
• Long-Running Jobs — Step away while scripts, ETL jobs, or data processing runs
• Server Monitoring — Hear critical alerts without dashboard fatigue
