lobe-tts

Why we included this project

Lobe TTS is a TypeScript library that covers both text-to-speech and speech-to-text, so a chat app or voice assistant can handle talking and listening with one dependency. On the server it wraps several speech providers, including Edge, Microsoft, and OpenAI, and turns a few lines of code into synthesized audio; the same package also does speech-to-text. In the browser it provides React hooks plus ready-made audio player and visualizer components, which means you do not have to build playback state, progress tracking, or waveform rendering from scratch. Because it is a library rather than a hosted service, you decide where audio gets generated and how it is presented, which suits teams that want either a headless backend or a polished in-app voice UI.
