Diarized transcription, zero-shot voice cloning, long-form speech synthesis — running on Apple Silicon, Android, Windows, and embedded Linux. No cloud APIs, no per-minute pricing, no data leaving the device.
Private memory for conversations
brew install speechimplementation("audio.soniqo:speech:0.0.9")Open-weight GLiNER2.5-Decide in MLX Swift against TypeSafe’s hosted Jev: what each offers, what the published benchmark compared, and local measurements: 7.6 ms per request at 0.85 GB with INT8.
A concept film exploring Stenograf’s vision for turning conversations into useful next steps.
From Moshi and PersonaPlex to VoiceChat: how full-duplex speech handles interruptions and MCP tools, and where a smaller Android command pipeline fits.
A real session running NVIDIA Nemotron VoiceChat 11B locally: a spoken turn, an interruption mid-sentence, and a complete MCP tool call into Apple Reminders. RTF 0.92 on an M5 Pro, nothing leaving the machine.
Each group spans several sub-use-cases stitched from Soniqo components. Drop in your audio, get conversation, transcripts, or generated speech back — locally, in real time.
Build voice-first interfaces — from full-duplex speech-to-speech to wake-word-driven compositional pipelines, all running locally.
Turn audio into structured text — realtime streaming for live captions and dictation, batch high-accuracy for archives, diarized to name each speaker.
Synthesize speech in any voice — clone a voice in seconds, narrate audiobooks for hours, or cast multi-speaker podcasts, fully offline.
The use-case pipelines above are stitched from these models. Pick a component to read its architecture, CLI, Swift API, and benchmarks. All run on Apple Silicon, most also on Android and Linux.
