Aurum¶

Speech both ways. On-device by default.

Private speech I/O on your machine:

• STT — audio → text (whisper.cpp; optional OpenRouter)
• Cleanup — post-transcript flow styles (rules or LLM)
• TTS — text → mono WAV (local ONNX KittenTTS; no cloud)

The same core powers the aurum CLI, Rust embeds (aurum-core), and native STT embeds (aurum-ffi).

30-second path¶

git clone https://github.com/joe-broadhead/aurum.git

./scripts/install.sh
# or: cargo install aurum-stt
