Talkative LobsterTalk to your AI — literally

A desktop voice conversation app. Speak into your mic, and an AI responds out loud. No typing, no copy-pasting — just natural back-and-forth conversation.

    Voice Activity Detection

    Neural network-based detection (Silero VAD). No push-to-talk needed — just start speaking naturally.

  • 🗣️

    Multi-Provider STT

    Choose from ElevenLabs Scribe, OpenAI Whisper, or local whisper.cpp for speech-to-text conversion.

  • 🔊

    Multi-Provider TTS

    ElevenLabs, VOICEVOX (Japanese), Kokoro (JP + EN), and Piper (local) for text-to-speech output.

  • ✋

    Natural Interruption

    Speak over the AI to interrupt mid-response. The conversation flow adapts immediately.

  • 🔇

    Speaker Monitor

    Filters out system audio (YouTube, music) so only your voice triggers the AI.

  • 🔐

    Encrypted Key Storage

    API keys stored with obfuscated encryption on your machine. Keys never leave your device.

How It Works ​

You speak → Speech-to-Text → LLM → Text-to-Speech → You hear
  1. You talk — Silero VAD detects when you start and stop speaking
  2. STT converts your voice — via ElevenLabs Scribe, OpenAI Whisper, or local whisper.cpp
  3. LLM thinks — powered by OpenClaw gateway
  4. TTS speaks back — choose from ElevenLabs, VOICEVOX, Kokoro, or Piper
  5. Interrupt anytime — just start talking to cut in mid-response
