Hi, I'm Kiryl, and I want to share the story behind TexToGo. Like many good ideas, it started with a moment of frustration that completely changed how I think about consuming information.
The Drive That Changed Everything
It was a typical morning commute, and I was driving through busy city streets. As someone constantly trying to keep up with the latest in AI and large language models, my phone was buzzing with notifications about new research, breakthroughs, and discussions from the tech community.
I desperately wanted to dive into these articles, but my eyes needed to be on the road. Between checking my mirrors, watching for pedestrians, and navigating traffic, there was simply no safe way to read. I found myself wishing I could just absorb this information without having to look at a screen.
That's when the idea clicked: "Why can't I just listen to these articles?" I realized that my commute, which was usually unproductive time, could become an an opportunity to learn and stay informed if only I could convert text to speech easily. But every solution I knew involved stopping, uploading files, and navigating complex interfaces – completely defeating the purpose of hands-free consumption.
"I realized I wasn't the only one facing this problem. Millions of people commute daily, wanting to consume content but unable to read safely while driving, walking, or exercising."
Why Chat Was the Obvious Answer
Later that day, I was sharing my frustration with a colleague over Telegram. I sent him a link to one of the AI articles and said, "I wish I could have just listened to this during my drive." That's when the lightbulb went off.
I was already using Telegram to share links, discuss articles, and communicate with my team. What if I could just send a link to a bot and get audio back? No apps to download, no accounts to create, no complex interfaces to learn. Just the same natural conversation I was already having, but with a bot that could instantly convert any content to audio.
The more I thought about it, the more obvious it became. People live in their messaging apps. We share links, documents, and ideas through chat every single day. Why force people to leave this comfortable environment just to convert text to speech?
I started building TexToGo that same week. The concept was simple: you send a link, document, or text to our bot, and you get professional-quality audio back. No friction, no learning curve, just natural conversation that solves a real problem.
What This Means for Your Daily Life
TexToGo isn't just another text-to-speech tool—it's designed for the way we actually live and work in 2025. Whether you're commuting, exercising, doing chores, or just want to give your eyes a break, you can now consume any written content as high-quality audio.
Think about your own daily routine. How many times do you bookmark articles to "read later" but never get around to them? How often do you wish you could multitask—listen to that important report while cooking dinner, or catch up on industry news during your workout?
With TexToGo, you simply send the content to our bot through Telegram, WhatsApp, or Discord—platforms you're already using—and get professional audio back in seconds. We use the same enterprise-grade Azure technology that powers Microsoft's services, so the quality is exceptional.
My Promise to You
TexToGo will always prioritize your convenience over our complexity. If you can't get audio from your content in under 30 seconds, we've failed. No apps to download, no accounts to manage, no tutorials to watch—just simple conversation that gets things done.
That morning drive changed how I think about information consumption, and I hope TexToGo can do the same for you. We're constantly improving voice quality, expanding platform support, and adding features that make audio content creation even more seamless.
Thanks for being part of this journey. I can't wait to help you turn those daily commutes, workouts, and quiet moments into opportunities to learn, stay informed, and consume the content that matters to you— all without the safety risks or eye strain of traditional reading.
