Listen for changes, results, and questions without following every line of terminal output. 02 ### Set a comfortable pace. Choose the voice and speed that make updates easier to follow. 03 ### Keep the evidence close. Use speech to find what deserves a closer look. The original code, logs, and diffs stay available. Getting started ## Find the setup that suits you. [Open the setup guide](https://docs.heard.dev/quickstart) 1. 01 ### Try a familiar task. Start with one agent and a small piece of work you know well. 2. 02 ### Adjust the voice. Tune the voice and speed before adding more sessions. 3. 03 ### Use both channels. Listen for context and return to the screen for exact code and final review. A few more details ## Questions? ### Was Heard designed as a dyslexia treatment? No. Heard is productivity software. Some dyslexic builders may find an optional spoken layer useful for reducing repetitive terminal scanning. ### Can I use a local voice? Yes. The open source engine supports local Kokoro text-to-speech, while the managed app also offers hosted voice options. ### Does voice replace reading code? No. Spoken status is useful for orientation and intervention. Exact code, diffs, commands, and evidence still need appropriate review. ## Keep exploring.
