About
Decibri is a Rust-based audio library for developers building real-time speech, voice-agent, and audio applications. It provides microphone capture, speaker playback, PCM streaming, audio-file processing, and a command-line interface through Python, Node.js, Rust, and browser APIs. Built-in features include voice activity detection, acoustic echo cancellation, and optional audio conditioning such as denoising, filtering, automatic gain control, and limiting. Developers can stream captured audio to cloud or local speech-to-text services and play generated speech through integrated audio output. Use cases include voice assistants, conversational agents, transcription, wake-word and keyword detection, interactive robotics, full-duplex speech, audio pipelines, and edge devices. Prebuilt native packages support Windows, macOS, and Linux; Python and Node.js packages require no additional build tools. The browser implementation provides capture, energy-based speech detection, and playback.

About
Dessa is Block's speech-to-speech artificial intelligence model for conversational voice research and applications. It takes audio input and produces audio output directly, without converting speech into text as an intermediate step. Trained from scratch on human conversation rather than text, the model supports full-duplex interaction, listening and speaking at the same time, and runs locally on a MacBook Pro with an M4 Max chip or better. It captures conversational cues such as emotion, sarcasm, laughter, pauses, and turn-taking that can be lost in text-based pipelines. Dessa is intended for AI safety researchers and developers studying voice-model behavior, privacy, and real-time interaction. It is a speech model for research and development, not a general-purpose business application or hosted voice-agent platform.
