Could you build this?
Partial Creating a frontend with benchmark tables and API keys is simple, but building an ultra-low-latency real-time streaming audio router bridging multiple STT and TTS providers with sub-100ms overhead requires specialized voice infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Building Speko requires an edge-deployed, WebRTC/WebSocket streaming data plane (written in Go or Rust) capable of low-latency audio buffering, transcoding, and seamless fallback between STT, LLM, and TTS providers. The hard part is managing jitter, bi-directional audio streaming synchronization, edge distribution, and continuous live automated benchmarking of third-party voice models across multiple languages.
