Vocode
the six Ws · specification
Built by Vocode (vocodedev) for developers creating voice-based conversational LLM applications.
Provides modular building blocks for real-time streaming voice conversations with large language models.
Deployable to phone calls, Zoom meetings, and web apps, with an optional hosted quickstart.
Open sourced around 2023 with the vocode-core repository maintained through recent updates.
Lets developers assemble custom voice agents without building telephony and streaming plumbing from scratch.
Depends on speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and LLM providers plugged in as configurable components.
Open source under MIT license, runs locally or self-hosted, code and audio processing stay under developer control.
