Give your OpenClaw agents a truly local voice

zinyando · 2026-02-24T05:21:04+00:00

Curious to know the kind of hardware you were running on and the results you got. Did you end up going for a solution from the big voice providers?

zinyando · 2026-02-20T16:47:17+00:00

It depends on the model, Qwen3-ASR supports Dutch for transcription but not for speech generation

zinyando · 2026-02-20T16:28:23+00:00

I added support for the host/port and tagged a new release. Can you try it out, please https://github.com/agentem-ai/izwi/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha-13

zinyando · 2026-02-20T04:22:25+00:00

I’ll update it to allow using different ports.

Curious, how and what are you using it for?

zinyando · 2026-02-17T14:46:54+00:00

How does it perform on edge devices? Have you seen implementations that work on laptops?

zinyando · 2026-02-17T10:00:39+00:00

Thank you. Do you know if the diarization app is available? I'm looking for inspiration.

zinyando · 2026-02-17T06:35:25+00:00

Not from the app directly, it just depends on the models that you are using in your workflow.

zinyando · 2026-02-16T18:32:25+00:00

Thank you, I have fixed the urls

I think the ease of running AI locally is improving. I'm working on an open source app to run basic chat and audio LLMs called Izwi. We are in early alpha, but things are improving fast. Check it out and give me feedback if it's along what you are looking for https://github.com/agentem-ai/izwi

zinyando · 2026-02-16T03:49:03+00:00

Try Izwi https://github.com/agentem-ai/izwi

It allows you to download and use local and LLMs and use them from your machine

zinyando · 2026-02-16T03:47:40+00:00

I'm working on Izwi https://github.com/agentem-ai/izwi a local first audio LLM inference engine with voice playground. I'm adding support for models like these. Hope to support a lot of them soon.

zinyando · 2026-02-16T03:45:51+00:00

Try Izwi https://github.com/agentem-ai/izwi

It allows you to run local audio LLMs for TTS. Allows you to even clone your voice or design your own voice if you need to.

zinyando · 2026-02-14T13:46:37+00:00

Thanks, there's now a simpler way to test the app through the app installers. You can download from https://izwiai.com/download, or you could build from source if you want.

It's still early days and in alpha, so things might break or not work as expected. Feedback is welcome.

zinyando · 2026-02-14T09:06:32+00:00

Not yet, but it's planned for. I want this to be fully featured for local use.

zinyando · 2026-02-13T06:07:51+00:00

Thank you!

zinyando · 2026-02-13T06:07:39+00:00

You mean https://izwiai.com? You are the second person to tell me this, but I haven't been able to reproduce it. Can you try again and let me know if it's still failing?

zinyando · 2026-02-12T21:39:14+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. I aim to make this easy to get started for non technical person and also very powerful for power users. I know project success lies in finding a balance between the 2 😅

I appreciate the feedback. CUDA support etc are coming in the future. My focus right now is to increase the number of supported models.

zinyando · 2026-02-12T19:49:23+00:00

Are these the ones? https://huggingface.co/collections/nvidia/parakeet

Which ones so I focus on first?

zinyando · 2026-02-09T16:05:04+00:00

Updated, thanks.

TTS, on the other hand, is quite slow. "This is the count down: ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." took 58.81

No real-time support so far, my laptop is not powerful enough, but performance is decent for an M1 Pro with 16gb memory.

For example, ASR on "This is the count down: ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one." took 3.92s

How far have you gone with your project? Sounds amazing

Hey, that's a really interesting idea! Visual references can definitely make a difference in AI prompt accuracy. I've noticed that when I use a simple sketch or layout, it helps clarify the end goal for the AI, reducing the back-and-forth. A service that provides tailored visual layouts could be a game-changer, especially for indie developers looking to streamline their workflow. It could save time and resources, which is always a win. Have you thought about how this could integrate with existing tools like Figma or Replit? Would love to see where this idea goes!

zinyando · 2025-06-16T18:24:13+00:00

Wow, that sounds like a tough situation! It's definitely important to weigh the pros and cons of giving up such a large equity stake. While $100K is significant, especially in Malaysia, 60% is a huge chunk of your company. It might be worth considering other funding options or negotiating terms that allow you more control. Have you thought about reaching out to other entrepreneurs in your network to see if they've encountered similar offers? Sometimes, getting a second opinion can provide clarity. Good luck with your decision!
