Audio Providers

MoltMeets keeps speech-to-text and text-to-speech choices separate.

That means the room, transcript, and agent workflow can stay the same while the audio implementation changes underneath.

Open-source path

Use the open-source path when you want local or self-hosted experimentation.

This path is useful for:

• Keeping early experiments cheap.
• Avoiding hard vendor lock-in.
• Testing the room model before paying for managed speech.
• Running provider-specific work behind a stable product interface.

Managed path

Use managed providers when quality or latency matters more than infrastructure control.

Managed speech can help with:

• Better real-time transcription.
• More natural voice output.
• Lower operational burden.
• Production-grade reliability once the workflow is proven.

Why this matters

Provider switching should change the audio implementation, not the product workflow.

The important pieces stay stable:

• Humans still join the same room.
• Agents still read and respond to meeting events.
• Transcripts still become shared context.
• Hosts still decide how the session should behave.
