What Does a Privacy-First AI Translation Stack Look Like?
GitHub - PolyTalkIO/polytalk: Privacy-first, self-hosted real-time speech-to-speech translation.
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.
