Vocally.fm is a web platform that enables bloggers and online magazines to take advantage of the emerging audio economy. It allows them to connect with their premium audiences, who are getting busier with lesser time to read long articles. Vocally is the easiest way for publishers to create, share and monetize audio versions of their written articles.
Through my university years, I was always in the search for new information from startup and tech ecosystems to improve my skills. I used to read dozens of interesting articles daily. But, as soon as I left university and started working, I realized the amount of time I was able to dedicate to research and reading was diminishing by the day.
I ended up reading articles faster, skipping from one word to another and eventually, saving reminders on my favorite list, which I ended up forgetting and never reading again. It was such a pity to see I actually had many empty slots during the day to read on my device but this would have been extremely unsafe to do as I’d have been commuting.
I started to love the idea of listening to the authors’ voices to interpret their own articles. Enthusiasm and passion are often the most critical part of the storytelling. I started to wonder how online magazines, bloggers and online publishers had not created audio versions of their articles. I wanted to support this transition and allow people to listen to writers to express themselves. I was thrilled that this would also make written content accessible to those with reading disorders or blindness. Inclusion became, by far, the most important mission for us.

What are our products/services?
Vocally.fm is an online platform, designed to allow anyone to generate the audio versions of articles with just one tap.
We provide two core features, Human transcription, and AI transcription. The first allows the author to simply read his or her own article. And, the second one is magic. You can input any text and voilà, an advanced AI neural network algorithm, synthesizes it into natural voices! It’s mind-blowing. I invite anyone to go to our beta website to test it.

What is our business model?
The tool is completely free. Our income is based on a revenue share model. This means we only generate revenue if our users also do.

Who are our clients?
Our clients are mainly publishers such as online magazines and bloggers.
We are testing the platform with Silicon Luxembourg and other similar companies. We would like to thank Silicon Luxembourg for this as our test with Silicon Luxembourg has helped us move from our first MVP to the current beta version.
Along with online publishers, we are currently testing the platform with players from event organization ecosystems and the educational world. With these industries, we want to help provide a simple way to record and share pitches from speakers or lessons from teachers. With vocally.fm events, masters or specific courses will no longer be confined to the walls of a building or limited by the number of seats. It will finally be possible to generate and pack valuable content under one dedicated profile and earn additional revenues by selling it online.

What’s next?
Vocally.fm has a clear company vision. We are focused on evolving voice as a powerful tool for new and old generations of creators.
In our near future, we are looking to create something incredible. To combine our two current features, Human transcription and AI transcription, to literally be able to synthesize the author’s voice for deep AI transcription personalization. Also, directly connecting voice with text, it will be possible to edit the audio output by simply editing text, and vice versa.
Creating audio versions of any article or podcast series will become as easy as writing it down.
We know our plan is extremely challenging, but Vocally was born to disrupt a business that has remained untouched. We are looking forward to merging the ePublishing sector with the high potential voice economy and bringing it to the next level.
