# SpeechKit

> Local-first dictation, voice assistance, and realtime voice agents

SpeechKit is kombify's local-first voice framework and runtime. The same public
project provides a Go framework, a self-hosted server, agent tools, and a
Windows reference client.

The current public release is
[v0.52.14](https://github.com/kombifyio/SpeechKit/releases/tag/v0.52.14).
SpeechKit is beta software: public APIs, configuration keys, and defaults can
change between minor releases, so integrations should pin a version.

## Three modes

| Mode        | Purpose                                                                    |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Dictation   | Turn speech into text without LLM rewriting.                               |
| Assist      | Turn speech or text into one useful result, optionally with spoken output. |
| Voice Agent | Run a realtime audio conversation for interactive work.                    |

Hands-Free is an activation and output layer over these modes, not a fourth
mode.
