​
Acquire Google API key

  • Go to Google AI Studio
  • Sign up for a free account or login to your existing account
  • Click the “Get API key” button to create a new API key
  • Copy the API key to your clipboard

That’s all there is to it. Voqal doesn’t use wake words or keywords, so you can start coding right away. Go ahead and say hello!
