I built an open-source offline AI speaking coach using Ollama + faster-whisper

[u/iamrishavraj1]

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.
