Most AI translation tools rely on cloud services.

Audio leaves your device, gets processed somewhere else, and comes back translated.

We wanted to explore a different approach.

PolyTalk is an open-source translation platform built around the idea that speech recognition, translation, and speech synthesis can be powered by open models and deployed on infrastructure you control.

The project combines open-source components for transcription, translation, and TTS into a privacy-first workflow.

Curious how others in the open-source AI community think about privacy and ownership when it comes to AI-powered communication tools.
