Self-Hosted TTS API and LiveKit Plugin

Build production-ready self-hosted Text-to-Speech APIs using HuggingFace models and integrate them with LiveKit voice agents through custom plugins.

Overview

This skill enables you to:

• Build TTS APIs using state-of-the-art HuggingFace models (Parler-TTS, F5-TTS, XTTS-v2)
• Create LiveKit plugins that connect voice agents to your self-hosted TTS
• Implement streaming for low-latency real-time synthesis
• Deploy to production with Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud platforms

When to use this skill:

• Creating cost-effective voice agents without cloud TTS fees
• Requiring custom voice characteristics or multilingual support
• Building privacy-focused systems with on-premise TTS
• Developing voice agents that need streaming audio synthesis
