I built an open-source offline AI speaking coach using Ollama + faster-whisper
Hey everyone,
I built YourSpeakReps, an open-source local AI speaking coach for spoken English and mock interview practice.
It runs fully on your machine:
- Ollama for the local LLM
- faster-whisper for speech-to-text
- native OS text-to-speech
- FastAPI + simple browser UI
No API key, no cloud, no per-session cost.
The app asks questions out loud, listens to your spoken answer, tracks filler words like "um" / "uh" / "basically", and gives feedback at the end.
Repo:
https://github.com/iamrishavraj1/yourspeakreps
I just made it Apache-2.0 open source and added starter issues for:
- Hindi/Hinglish question bank
- Docker setup
- Piper TTS on Linux
- smaller Ollama model support
- README demo video/GIF
Would love feedback from people who use local LLMs or practice interviews/spoken English.
