Each host gets a Voice page under host settings. Dictation and voice mode each pick a provider (Local or OpenAI) and a model. Provider settings sit in one group of collapsible rows: local speech-to-text and text-to-speech list every catalog model with its size, languages and description before download, and OpenAI takes a write-only API key and an optional base URL. The local catalog grows from Parakeet/Kokoro to Whisper, SenseVoice, Dolphin, GigaAM, Parakeet Japanese, multilingual Kokoro, Kitten and Piper voices. Each entry declares its sherpa engine family, so the recognizer and TTS build the matching model config and the downloader verifies the files that family needs. Kitten v0.8 is left out: it crashes the pinned sherpa-onnx 1.12.28. Voice mode is now opt-in. The default lived only in code (true), never in config.json, so hosts that never toggled it find it off after upgrading. OpenAI speech-to-text resolved one model for both features, with voice mode's choice taking precedence, so dictation silently used voice mode's model. The resolved config now carries a model per feature; STT_MODEL still overrides both. Rows revealed under a collapsible settings row are a nested density level set by the container: tighter padding, smaller text, and xs controls, with controls taking their size from the row instead of each caller.
Welcome to your Expo app 👋
This is an Expo project created with create-expo-app.
Get started
-
Install dependencies
npm install -
Start the app
npx expo start
In the output, you'll find options to open the app in a
- development build
- Android emulator
- iOS simulator
- Expo Go, a limited sandbox for trying out app development with Expo
You can start developing by editing the files inside the app directory. This project uses file-based routing.
Get a fresh project
When you're ready, run:
npm run reset-project
This command will move the starter code to the app-example directory and create a blank app directory where you can start developing.

Dictation debugging
Set EXPO_PUBLIC_ENABLE_AUDIO_DEBUG=1 before running npx expo start to render the in-app audio debug card. Pair it with the server-side STT_DEBUG_AUDIO_DIR flag so every dictation includes a copyable path to the saved raw audio file.
