Read full description

Sherpa Voice is an open-source demo app that showcases what on-device speech and audio AI can do — directly on your phone, with no cloud and no internet required. Whether you are a developer evaluating libraries for your next app, a researcher exploring mobile inference, or just curious about offline AI, Sherpa Voice lets you try 10 speech and audio features hands-on. WHAT YOU CAN TRY - Speech Recognition: Transcribe speech to text from files or live microphone input. Multiple languages supported. - Text-to-Speech: Generate natural-sounding speech from text with various voices and speakers. - Voice Activity Detection: Detect speech vs silence in real-time audio. - Keyword Spotting: Listen for custom keywords without full transcription. - Speaker Identification: Recognize speakers by their voice. - Speaker Diarization: Figure out who spoke when in a conversation. - Audio Tagging: Classify sounds — music, speech, environmental noise. - Language Identification: Detect which language is being spoken. - Speech Enhancement: Remove background noise from recordings. - Punctuation: Add punctuation to raw transcripts. Each feature comes with a downloadable model catalog so you can compare different models for speed, size, and accuracy. FOR DEVELOPERS Sherpa Voice is built with React Native and Expo using two open-source libraries: - sherpa-onnx: C++ inference engine for speech models, with mobile-optimized ONNX Runtime - expo-audio-stream: Real-time audio recording, analysis, and visualization for React Native Everything you see in this app can be integrated into your own project. The full source code is available on GitHub — use it as a reference, fork it, or contribute. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a feature (Speech Recognition, TTS, etc.) 2. Download a model from the built-in catalog (one-time, typically 15-100 MB) 3. Use the feature — all processing runs locally on your device PRIVACY No accounts. No tracking. No data collection. Audio never leaves your device.

About

Semaphore Remote

Features
Read full description

Semaphore Remote is an app for users who manage automation with Semaphore UI and need quick access to their tasks from a mobile device. Connect directly to your Semaphore server using a personal API token, browse projects and templates, launch new executions, monitor running tasks, and read raw task output when something needs attention. The app is designed for DevOps workflows where speed and simplicity matter. You can open a project, review available templates, start a run, force an execution when needed, check recent tasks, follow active jobs, and quickly jump to fatal messages, errors, warnings, or the last line of a log. Key features: • Connect to Semaphore UI using a personal API token • Browse projects, templates, and task history • Launch tasks from templates • Force task runs when needed • Monitor running, waiting, and pending tasks • Receive local notifications when monitored tasks finish • Read raw task output with line numbers • Search inside logs • Jump quickly to fatal, error, warning, or last-line matches • Share task logs as text files • Supports English and Italian Semaphore Remote does not require an external account and does not use tracking, analytics, or advertising. The app communicates only with the Semaphore server configured by the user. The server URL and API token are stored locally on the device and used only to authenticate requests to your Semaphore UI instance. Note: Semaphore Remote is intended as a mobile companion tool for quick checks and interventions. Local notifications depend on system background behavior and are not a replacement for server-side alerting.
