Rime exposes one HTTP and WebSocket API surface. Choose a workflow, then move into the implementation and reference material you need.

Add speech to an application

Generate speech over HTTP, stream the response, and play it in your application.

Build a real-time voice agent

Connect Rime to an STT, LLM, and audio transport for responsive conversations.

Deploy on your infrastructure

Run Rime privately with Docker Compose or Kubernetes.

Models and voices

Choose the right sound for your application

Compare model capabilities, then browse voices by model and language before choosing what to put into production.
