One Swift package for every speech capability you'd normally rent from a cloud API — transcription, expressive TTS, voice cloning, speaker-aware diarization, denoising, full-duplex speech-to-speech — running on-device on Apple Silicon. brew install soniqo/tap/speech ships a CLI, a local HTTP server, and the Swift API. Apache 2.0. No cloud, no keys, no per-minute bills.
Five API keys to build a voice AI app: ElevenLabs, Deepgram, Pyannote, OpenAI, and whoever's hosting your VAD. Five bills, five round-trips, five companies hearing your users.
Whisper.cpp killed cloud ASR. speech-swift does the same for the rest — expressive TTS, voice cloning, diarization, full-duplex speech-to-speech. One Swift package, one brew install, runs on Apple Silicon. brew install soniqo/tap/speech speech-server --port 8080
Your Mac is now a local speech API. Point your app at localhost:8080. Apache 2.0, no keys, no per-minute billing, no internet required.
Genuinely curious: which of the five cloud APIs would you replace first? And which one do you think is still worth paying for? I have opinions but I'd rather hear yours before I post them.
I think a really big gap in the market with voice model is that they are very dumb. There are literally meme accounts making fun of OpenAI reasoning and they are the best. I think this is a gap in the market and that is why paying for reasoning from OpenAI or another similar frontier model will be a cloud API I think its still worth paying for. The issue is the latency, definitely has to be a the turbo/flash version of the frontier models.
