Speaches is a self-hosted speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) server with OpenAI-compatible API. Wraps Whisper (STT), Piper / Kokoro (TTS), and exposes them as the standard /v1/audio/transcriptions and /v1/audio/speech OpenAI endpoints.
Drop-in replacement for OpenAI Whisper API at $0/transcription — runs on your own VPS or GPU.
What it's for
Self-hosted transcription — replace OpenAI Whisper API with predictable VPS cost
Voice assistant TTS — synthesize speech for self-hosted Alexa-style apps
Audio content production — bulk transcribe podcasts, meetings, lectures
Real-time streaming STT — live captions, voice control
Multi-language speech — Whisper handles 100+ languages out of the box
Who it's for
Indie SaaS founders building voice features without OpenAI per-minute costs
Podcasters bulk transcribing back catalogs without metered API spend
Privacy-bound apps needing voice processing without cloud upload
Voice assistant developers building self-hosted Alexa/Google Home alternatives
AI engineers integrating voice into LLM agents (Open WebUI, LibreChat)

Multiple model sizes — Whisper tiny / base / small / medium / large
CPU + GPU support — runs on modest hardware for testing, scales with GPU
MIT license — commercial use unrestricted
