 ## When to use
 
 - **Voice memo arrived** (Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Signal .ogg/.opus/.m4a): transcribe with `kesha --json <path>` and branch on the detected language.
-- **Need to reply with audio**: synthesize with `kesha say "<text>" > reply.wav`. Auto-routes by detected language (Kokoro-82M for English, Vosk-TTS for Russian). For other languages and ~180 more voices use `--voice macos-*` on macOS (zero model download).
+- **Need to reply with audio (file playback)**: synthesize with `kesha say "<text>" > reply.wav`. Auto-routes by detected language (Kokoro-82M for English, Vosk-TTS for Russian). For other languages and ~180 more voices use `--voice macos-*` on macOS (zero model download).
+- **Need to send a voice note (Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, Discord)**: synthesize directly into the messenger-native format with `kesha say "<text>" --format ogg-opus --out reply.ogg`. Default is mono 24 kHz @ 32 kbps — what Telegram `sendVoice` expects. No `ffmpeg` round-trip needed.
 - **Need to detect what language a file is in** before choosing a pipeline: `kesha --json audio.ogg` returns both audio-based and text-based language detection with confidence scores.

+Output: WAV mono float32 by default. `--out <path>` writes to a file instead of stdout.
+
+**Voice notes (Telegram / WhatsApp / Signal / Discord):** add `--format ogg-opus` to emit OGG/Opus directly — the format messenger APIs render as a native voice message:
+
+```bash
+kesha say "Hello there" --format ogg-opus --out reply.ogg                  # 24 kHz @ 32 kbps mono — Telegram-grade
+kesha say "Привет" --voice ru-vosk-m02 --format ogg-opus --out reply.ogg   # Russian voice note
+kesha say "Hi" --format ogg-opus --bitrate 16000 --out tiny.ogg            # tinier file, intelligible but lossy
+```
+
+Format is also inferred from `--out` extension (`.ogg` / `.opus` / `.oga` → OGG/Opus). `--bitrate` (6 000–510 000 bps) and `--sample-rate` (8 000 / 12 000 / 16 000 / 24 000 / 48 000 Hz) tune the encoder.
+
+**Russian abbreviation handling** (`ru-vosk-*` only): all-uppercase Cyrillic tokens (length 2–5) auto-expand letter-by-letter when the token cannot be pronounced as a natural Russian syllable — `ФСБ объявила` → `эф-эс-бэ объявила`. Tokens with strict CVC/CVCV alternation pass through (ВОЗ → "воз", НАТО → "нато"). Disable per call with `--no-expand-abbrev`. Override per-token via SSML `<say-as interpret-as="characters">…</say-as>` (always wins, even with `--no-expand-abbrev`). Stop-list for common short words (ОН, МЫ, ВЫ, КАК, ЧТО) prevents false positives. Closes [#232](https://github.com/drakulavich/kesha-voice-kit/issues/232).
