It runs on your machine and exposes both product workflows and OpenAI-compatible API routes without requiring cloud services or API keys. ## What It Does - Real-time voice conversations with local ASR, chat, and TTS models. - Text-to-speech, long-form Studio projects, voice cloning, voice design, and saved voices. - Transcription, speaker diarization, forced alignment, and realtime speech-to-text. - Local chat, model download/load/unload/delete, history, exports, and settings. - OpenAI-compatible `/v1` APIs for models, chat completions, audio speech, audio transcriptions, and preview Responses support. Inference data stays local. Optional anonymous desktop analytics are disabled unless a user explicitly opts in, and they do not send prompts, transcripts, audio payloads, local paths, or personal identifiers. ## Install Download the latest build from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/izwi-ai/izwi/releases). - **macOS:** install the `.dmg`, drag `Izwi.app` to Applications, then launch it. - **Linux:** install the `.deb` package with `sudo dpkg -i izwi_*.deb`. - **Windows:** run the `.exe` installer. Runtime support depends on the artifact: - macOS Apple Silicon release builds use Metal. - Linux and Windows release builds are CPU-only. - CUDA is supported through the Docker CUDA profile or source builds on compatible NVIDIA hosts. See the [Runtime Support Matrix](https://izwiai.com/docs/support-matrix) for the full contract. ## Quick Start Start the local server and web UI: ```bash izwi serve --mode web ``` Server-only and desktop modes are also available: ```bash izwi serve izwi serve --mode desktop ``` Download a model and generate speech: ```bash izwi pull Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base izwi tts "Hello from Izwi." --output hello.wav ``` Transcribe audio: ```bash izwi pull Parakeet-TDT-0.6B-v3 izwi transcribe audio.wav --model Parakeet-TDT-0.6B-v3 ``` Open the app at `http://localhost:8080`. The local API reference is available at `http://localhost:8080/docs`, and the raw OpenAPI document is available at `http://localhost:8080/openapi.json`. ## Model Families Run `izwi list` to see the enabled catalog. Current families include: - **TTS:** Qwen3-TTS, Kokoro-82M, Voxtral TTS, and VibeVoice. - **ASR:** Parakeet, Whisper, Qwen3-ASR, Nemotron 3.5 ASR, VibeVoice ASR, LFM2.5 Audio, and Voxtral Mini. - **Diarization and alignment:** Sortformer diarization and Qwen3 ForcedAligner. - **Chat:** Qwen3, Qwen3.5, LFM2.5, and Gemma. Some model weights and bundled assets have their own licenses or access terms. Check the [Models Guide](https://izwiai.com/docs/models) before redistribution or commercial use of downloaded model artifacts. ## Build From Source For CLI/server installs, use the project install script: ```bash ./scripts/install-cli.sh ``` For manual builds, scope Cargo to the binaries you need: ```bash cargo build --release -p izwi-cli cargo build --release -p izwi-server ``` CUDA source builds require the matching CUDA toolkit and Cargo features for the target host. See [From Source](https://izwiai.com/docs/installation/from-source) for platform-specific setup. ## Documentation - [Getting Started](https://izwiai.com/docs/getting-started) - [Installation](https://izwiai.com/docs/installation) - [Features](https://izwiai.com/docs/features) - [CLI Reference]
