## Installation

Requires Python 3.10+.

```bash
pip install speech-to-speech
```

The default install covers the standard realtime path:

- Parakeet TDT for STT
- OpenAI-compatible API for the language model
- Qwen3-TTS for speech output, using the GGML backend by default on non-macOS platforms and `mlx-audio` on Apple Silicon
- local audio and realtime server modes

macOS and non-macOS dependencies are resolved automatically via platform markers in `pyproject.toml`.

### Docker

Install the [NVIDIA Container Toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html), then:

```bash
docker compose up
```

The compose file starts a llama.cpp server with Gemma 4, starts the TCP socket server, and exposes ports `8080`, `12345`, and `12346`.
