Quick Start

Voice Conversation (Start Speaking!)

from lokutor import VoiceAgentClient
from lokutor.config import VoiceStyle, Language

client = VoiceAgentClient(api_key="your-api-key")
client.start_conversation()

Standalone Text-to-Speech

from lokutor import TTSClient, VoiceStyle

client = TTSClient(api_key="your-api-key")
client.synthesize(
    text="Hello world, this is a test of Lokutor streaming TTS.",
    voice=VoiceStyle.F1,
    play=True
)

Core APIs

1. VoiceAgentClient

Full conversational interface that handles VAD, STT, LLM, and TTS orchestration.

    api_key="your-key",
    prompt="You are a helpful customer service agent",
    voice=VoiceStyle.F2,
    language=Language.ENGLISH
)
client.start_conversation()

Callbacks:

• on_transcription(text): Called when your speech is transcribed.
• on_response(text): Called when the agent's text response is ready.
• on_error(error): Called when a connection or server error occurs.

2. TTSClient

For converting text to high-quality streaming audio.

client = TTSClient(api_key="your-key")
client.synthesize(
    text="Welcome to our platform",
    voice=VoiceStyle.M2,
    play=True,
    block=True
)
