Could you build this?
Partial An API gateway proxying STT and TTS requests is vibe-codeable, but running low-latency streaming audio data planes and comprehensive automated language-by-language benchmarking across dozens of models requires significant real-time networking infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The core infrastructure demands ultra-low latency globally distributed reverse proxies (written in Go or Rust) supporting streaming bi-directional WebSockets/gRPC for audio packets with minimal jitter. It also requires automated benchmark evaluation harnesses continuously feeding multilingual audio corpora into 20+ speech models to measure latency, WER, and MOS scores.
