Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public, identifies the project as open source and lists the MIT license. The README documents a Linux setup.

  • The documented setup requires Linux, Python, pip, PortAudio development files and API keys.
  • The README describes speech-to-text followed by intent prediction, rather than listing a fixed set of built-in tasks.
  • The project points developers to Sounder for details on its intent algorithm and internal API.
  • The README cautions users to assess third-party modules before installing them.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
