## What it is
A Python client-server application enabling natural spoken conversations with LLMs, streaming browser audio via WebSockets through RealtimeSTT, a pluggable LLM backend (Ollama/OpenAI), and RealtimeTTS back to the browser. It focuses on low latency with interruption handling and dynamic turn detection.

## Use cases
- talk to an AI with my voice in real time
- build a voice assistant with speech-to-text and text-to-speech
- run a local voice chatbot with Ollama
- low-latency spoken conversation with an LLM
- voice interface for chatting with AI models
- self-hosted real-time voice chat server

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made, self-hostable voice chat pipeline with STT, LLM, and TTS wired together
- you need interruption handling and adaptive turn-taking in spoken conversations
- you prefer pluggable backends like Ollama or OpenAI and multiple TTS engines

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with guaranteed support - the author has stepped back to community-driven maintenance
- you need a production-grade, licensed product - there is currently no license file
- you only need text-based chat without audio
