Would you use a hosted Voxlert API? (no local TTS or Python required)

[settinghead]

The biggest friction point in Voxlert setup is the local TTS backend: Python 3.13, ~8GB model download, GPU or Apple Silicon recommended.

We are considering a hosted API option where you would skip all of that. The CLI would call our endpoint instead of your local TTS server. One config line: tts_backend: "voxlert-cloud" + an API key.

If that would make Voxlert viable for you:

• React with 👍 on this post
• Or comment with: what OS you are on, what blocked you, and whether you would pay for it

No commitment on either side — just trying to understand how much demand there is before building anything.
