Description

Native speech readiness, synthesis, and transcription.

Overview

Arcane.speech exposes independent local speech status, synthesis, and transcription through the native host. The status result keeps Kokoro and Whisper readiness separate; successful readiness for one role does not imply readiness for the other.

Availability and security

All speech methods require ai.inference. Desktop Core uses its admitted fixed local services; admitted Android applications use bounded native providers. Transcription accepts only the documented bounded canonical audio envelope, and applications should not retain microphone audio without an explicit need.

Example

const access = await globalThis.Arcane.capabilities.list();
const canReadSpeechStatus = access.methods.includes('speech.status');

console.log('Speech status admitted:', canReadSpeechStatus);

Members

• Arcane.speech.status() — Reads bounded, independent Kokoro and Whisper readiness through Core or an admitted Android native host. Requires ai.inference.
• Arcane.speech.synthesize() — Synthesizes bounded local speech through the native host and fixed loopback runtime. Requires ai.inference.
• Arcane.speech.transcribe() — Sends bounded canonical base64 bytes labeled audio/webm to local Whisper through the native host. The bridge validates encoding, label, and bounds; the fixed service parses the media container. Requires ai.inference.
