Hear and speak — transcribe audio, synthesize a voice.
The Aither World is an operating system for agents — a Linux you can hand to one, the runtimes it works in, and the tools it works with. awvoice is one of its 55 bricks — each installs on its own, runs offline, and needs no account.
An agent that can only read text is deaf and mute. Every route to fixing that today is a vendor SDK that wants the audio uploaded, an API key, and a per-minute bill -- which rules it out for exactly the recordings people most want transcribed.
pip install awvoice
Turn speech into text and text into speech, on a service you host.
Pairing is composition, never dependency — awvoice installs and runs on its own.
Every brick below is live, drawn from that repository's own published manifest.
