Two voice pipelines

Two reference pipelines out of the box — OpenAI Realtime for the cloud voice quality, local CPU stack for total privacy. Swap or extend either one.

OpenAI Voice

  • Realtime API for STT + TTS
  • Best voice quality
  • ~1 GB RAM, 1 core
  • Requires API key

🖥️ Local Voice CPU

  • faster-whisper + Silero VAD
  • Piper VITS ONNX TTS
  • ~2 GB RAM, 2 cores
  • No API keys. No cloud. No GPU.

Both pipelines run Wav2Arkit ONNX on CPU — 52 ARKit blendshapes at 30 FPS.
