RHVoice
Free open source speech synthesizer for Russian and other languages
RHVoice is a free and open-source multilingual speech synthesizer. Its developers hope to give more visually impaired people the ability to use a good free synthesis voice reading in their native language with their screen reader. We are especially interested in supporting those languages for which there are currently no good voices that could be used with a screen reader. The creator of RHVoice, Olga Yakovleva, is blind herself. Many of the contributors to the RHVoice project, both programmers and non-programmers, are blind or partially sighted. -

NoiseGator (Noise Gate)
A simple noise gate app intended for use with VOIPs like Skype.
Ever wanted to cut out background noise when talking with others on Skype? Now it's possible! NoiseGator is a light-weight noise gate application that routes audio through an audio input to an audio output. In real-time the audio level is analysed and if the average level is higher than the threshold the audio bypasses as normal. However, if the average level goes below the threshold, the gate closes and the audio is cut. When used with a virtual audio cable it can act as a noise gate for a either a sound input(microphone) or sound output(speakers). Can also be used to gate noise from your own mic or play your microphone through your speakers. REQUIREMENTS: - Java 7 or higher for Windows. - Java 6 or higher for Mac. Java 7 recommended. - A virtual audio cable is required for use with VOIPs: For Windows users I recommend the VB-Cable driver (http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Cable/index.htm). Mac users can use SoundFlower. -

Mumble
Low-latency, high quality voice chat for gamers
Mumble is an open source, low-latency, high quality voice chat software primarily intended for use while gaming. It includes game linking, so voice from other players comes from the direction of their characters, and has echo cancellation so the sound from your loudspeakers won't be audible to other players. -

Moonshine Voice
Fast and accurate automatic speech recognition (ASR) for edge devices
moonshine is an open-source automatic speech recognition toolkit optimized for fast and accurate transcription on edge devices and local environments. The project is designed to enable real-time voice applications such as live transcription, voice commands, and embedded speech interfaces without requiring heavy cloud infrastructure. Its architecture emphasizes low latency and flexible input handling, allowing audio streams of varying durations rather than relying on fixed processing windows. Moonshine supports multiple platforms including mobile, desktop, and embedded systems, and provides example projects to accelerate integration into real-world products. The toolkit also includes specialized model variants, including monolingual options that improve accuracy for specific languages. Overall, moonshine serves developers building privacy-conscious, on-device voice interfaces that demand high performance with minimal resource overhead. -

DeepSpeech
Open source embedded speech-to-text engine
DeepSpeech is an open source embedded (offline, on-device) speech-to-text engine which can run in real time on devices ranging from a Raspberry Pi 4 to high power GPU servers. DeepSpeech is an open-source Speech-To-Text engine, using a model trained by machine learning techniques based on Baidu's Deep Speech research paper. Project DeepSpeech uses Google's TensorFlow to make the implementation easier. A pre-trained English model is available for use and can be downloaded following the instructions in the usage docs. If you want to use the pre-trained English model for performing speech-to-text, you can download it (along with other important inference material) from the DeepSpeech releases page. -

SpeechRecognition
Speech recognition module for Python
Library for performing speech recognition, with support for several engines and APIs, online and offline. Recognize speech input from the microphone, transcribe an audio file, save audio data to an audio file. Show extended recognition results, calibrate the recognizer energy threshold for ambient noise levels (see recognizer_instance.energy_threshold for details). Listening to a microphone in the background, various other useful recognizer features. The easiest way to install this is using pip install SpeechRecognition. The first software requirement is Python 2.6, 2.7, or Python 3.3+. This is required to use the library. PyAudio is required if and only if you want to use microphone input (Microphone). PyAudio version 0.2.11+ is required, as earlier versions have known memory management bugs when recording from microphones in certain situations. To hack on this library, first make sure you have all the requirements listed in the "Requirements" section. -

Moshi
A speech-text foundation model for real time dialogue
Moshi is a speech-text foundation model and full-duplex spoken dialogue framework. It uses Mimi, a state-of-the-art streaming neural audio codec. Mimi processes 24 kHz audio, down to a 12.5 Hz representation with a bandwidth of 1.1 kbps, in a fully streaming manner (latency of 80ms, the frame size), yet performs better than existing, non-streaming, codecs like SpeechTokenizer (50 Hz, 4kbps), or SemantiCodec (50 Hz, 1.3kbps). Moshi models two streams of audio: one corresponds to Moshi, and the other one to the user. At inference, the stream from the user is taken from the audio input, and the one for Moshi is sampled from the model's output. Along these two audio streams, Moshi predicts text tokens corresponding to its own speech, its inner monologue, which greatly improves the quality of its generation. A small Depth Transformer models inter codebook dependencies for a given time step, while a large, 7B parameter Temporal Transformer models the temporal dependencies. -

Cotovía
Text-to-Speech System for Galician and Spanish
Cotovía is a unit-selection text-to-speech system for Galician and Spanish. Cotovía is distributed under the GPL3.0+ license, but each of the avaliable speaker voices has its own license. The speakers available at sourceforge are free for commercial and non-commercial uses. Another speaker, free for non-commercial uses, is avaliable through external links (see the Blog section). Cotovia has been developed by the University de Vigo and the center 'Ramón Piñeiro' for Research in Humanities, both in Galicia, Spain. Its development has involved a research group of linguists and engineers. Cotovía has been developed as a research project, therefore most of the work has been focused on the most interesting aspects from a scientific point of view. Although the performance of the whole TTS system is quite good, there are some parts that could be clearly improved. Cotovia files and installing instructions are available at the Files and Git sections. -
