livekit-plugins-inworld 1.6.2

Agent Framework plugin for voice synthesis and speech-to-text with Inworld's API.

Inworld plugin for LiveKit Agents

Support for voice synthesis and speech-to-text with Inworld TTS and Inworld STT.

See Inworld TTS and Inworld STT for more information.

Installation

pip install livekit-plugins-inworld

Authentication

Set INWORLD_API_KEY in your .env file (get one here).

Usage

TTS

Use Inworld TTS within an AgentSession or as a standalone speech generator.

from livekit.plugins import inworld

tts = inworld.TTS()

Or with options:

from livekit.plugins import inworld

tts = inworld.TTS(
    voice="Hades",                 # voice ID (default or custom cloned voice)
    model="inworld-tts-1",         # or "inworld-tts-1-max"
    encoding="OGG_OPUS",           # LINEAR16, MP3, OGG_OPUS, ALAW, MULAW, FLAC
    sample_rate=48000,             # 8000-48000 Hz
    bit_rate=64000,                # bits per second (for compressed formats)
    speaking_rate=1.0,             # 0.5-1.5
    temperature=1.1,               # 0-2
    timestamp_type="WORD",         # WORD, CHARACTER, or TIMESTAMP_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED
    text_normalization="OFF",      # ON, OFF, or APPLY_TEXT_NORMALIZATION_UNSPECIFIED
)

TTS Streaming

Inworld TTS supports WebSocket streaming for lower latency real-time synthesis. Use the stream() method for streaming text as it's generated:

from livekit.plugins import inworld

tts = inworld.TTS(
    voice="Hades",
    model="inworld-tts-1",
    buffer_char_threshold=100,     # chars before triggering synthesis (default: 100)
    max_buffer_delay_ms=3000,      # max buffer time in ms (default: 3000)
)

# Create a stream for real-time synthesis
stream = tts.stream()

# Push text incrementally
stream.push_text("Hello, ")
stream.push_text("how are you today?")
stream.flush()  # Flush any remaining buffered text
stream.end_input()  # Signal end of input

# Consume audio as it's generated
async for audio in stream:
    # Process audio frames
    pass

STT

Use Inworld STT for streaming speech-to-text. Multiple models are supported.

from livekit.plugins import inworld

session = AgentSession(
   stt=inworld.STT()
   # ... llm, tts, etc.
)

With a specific model and voice profile detection:

from livekit.plugins import inworld

session = AgentSession(
   stt=inworld.STT(
       model="inworld/inworld-stt-1",
       enable_voice_profile=True,
   )
   # ... llm, tts, etc.
)

Example

A full voice agent using Inworld for both STT and TTS:

"""Inworld STT + TTS voice agent example.

Demonstrates using Inworld for both speech-to-text and text-to-speech
in a LiveKit voice agent. Save this as ``inworld_agent.py`` and run:

    uv run inworld_agent.py console   # local console mode
    uv run inworld_agent.py dev       # LiveKit Cloud (requires LIVEKIT_URL,
                                      # LIVEKIT_API_KEY, LIVEKIT_API_SECRET)

Then connect via https://agents-playground.livekit.io
