  • Listen to retrieved or summarized content instead of reading it.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identifies the project as open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. The README documents launching the web service locally.

  • The query analyzer classifies requests containing “news” or “latest” as news queries and treats other requests as knowledge queries.
  • The README describes news retrieval through the requested source's API and summarizes lengthy content.
  • Voice recognition and speech synthesis are described as browser capabilities used by the web interface.
  • The README lists more advanced question categorization and headlines-only requests as roadmap items.

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