Speko
OpenRouter for Voice
Speko launched on August 27, 2026 with 263 votes, #107 of 23,274 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches.
In plain words
Speko is an API that unifies speech-to-text, language models, and text-to-speech across multiple providers. It benchmarks 59 voice models across 10 languages and automatically routes each session to the best-performing model for that language, rather than relying on a single top performer. Designed for developers building multilingual voice applications, Speko offers both hosted routing through its infrastructure and an open-source runtime option for frameworks like LiveKit and Pipecat, with a freemium model starting at $0.09 per minute.

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
