GraphCanon ranks Speech & Audio tools by GitHub adoption and freshness. transformers is the current leader (166,279 stars). See the full list on this page - sorted by stars, with [maintenance labels](/glossary/trust-and-signals/maintenance-label) and graph relationships. ### How does GraphCanon rank Speech & Audio tools? We sort by GitHub stars and push recency on category pages, not paid placement. Alternatives and compare pages use [typed graph edges](/glossary/knowledge-graph/typed-edge) (alternative, successor, integrates_with) plus shared categories - constraint-first, not marketing votes. ### How many tools are in Speech & Audio? 207 published tools are tagged with Speech & Audio in the GraphCanon knowledge graph. ### What are popular Speech & Audio comparisons? Head-to-head compare pages in this category include rig vs LocalAI, ChatTTS vs LLaMA-Omni, ChatTTS vs whisper. Each comparison uses live GitHub stats and optional [trust signals](/glossary/trust-and-signals/trust-signal) - see the comparisons block on this page. ### Is there a machine-readable Speech & Audio list? Yes. Append `.md` to this URL or fetch [`/md/categories/speech-audio`](/md/categories/speech-audio) for a markdown twin. The JSON API exposes the same corpus at [`/api/graphcanon/categories/speech-audio`](/api/graphcanon/categories/speech-audio). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/categories/speech-audio`](/api/graphcanon/categories/speech-audio) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
