Deploy Speeches in one click installation.
OpenAI-compatible speech-to-text and text-to-speech server you can self-host and run entirely on your own VPS.
What you can build with Speaches
Speaches is an OpenAI API-compatible audio server that brings state-of-the-art speech recognition and text-to-speech synthesis to your own infrastructure. Built on faster-whisper for transcription and Kokoro/Piper for voice synthesis, it exposes the same endpoints as the OpenAI Audio API — so any existing tool, SDK, or integration that works with OpenAI will work with Speaches out of the box.
Self-hosting Speaches means your audio data never leaves your servers, there are no per-minute transcription fees, and you retain full control over which models run and how resources are allocated. Models are loaded on demand and unloaded automatically after inactivity, keeping memory usage lean on a standard VPS.
Key features of Speaches
OpenAI API compatible
Implements the OpenAI Audio API spec — drop in your self-hosted URL and existing OpenAI integrations keep working without code changes.
Speech-to-text transcription
Powered by faster-whisper, supporting multilingual transcription with real-time streaming via Server-Sent Events.
Text-to-speech synthesis
Generate natural-sounding speech using Kokoro (ranked #1 in the TTS Arena) and Piper models, fully on-device.
Dynamic model loading
Models load automatically on first request and unload after a configurable idle period, so you only use memory when needed.
Built-in web UI
Gradio-powered interface lets you test transcription and synthesis directly in your browser without any extra tooling.
API key authentication
Optionally protect all API endpoints with a single API key while keeping the interactive docs publicly accessible.

Docker VPS hosting you can rely on
I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
