Open-Source Offline AI Speaking Coach Built With Ollama and faster-whisper
iamrishavraj1 · reddit · 2026-09-30
The author open-sourced YourSpeakReps, a fully local AI speaking coach for spoken English and mock interview practice.
Stack: Ollama for the local LLM, faster-whisper for speech-to-text, native OS text-to-speech, and FastAPI with a simple browser UI. No API key, no cloud, no per-session cost.
The app asks questions out loud, listens to spoken answers, tracks filler words like 'um'/'uh'/'basically,' and gives feedback at the end. It is Apache-2.0 licensed, with starter issues for a Hindi/Hinglish question bank, Docker setup, Piper TTS on Linux, smaller Ollama model support, and a README demo video.
