 "title": "Run a voice frontend stack with local speech models",
 "page_title": "How to run a voice frontend stack with local speech models with Qwen Audio Agent",
 "summary": "Connect the Hugging Face speech-to-speech service so VAD, STT, LLM, and TTS run locally.",
 "who": "A privacy-minded developer who wants voice conversation without sending audio to a cloud provider.",
 "problem": "Cloud voice services send audio off the machine, which some users cannot accept for their work.",
 "outcome": "You run the Hugging Face speech-to-speech service locally, point the runtime at its URL, and have a voice conversation that uses local components.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the runtime with `npm install -g qwen-audio-agent`.",
  "Start the Hugging Face Speech-to-Speech service on your machine using its own instructions.",
  "Set the voice frontend in the config to Hugging Face Speech-to-Speech and enter the service URL.",
  "Start the Gateway with `qwenaudio` and open the TUI with `qwenaudio tui`.",
  "Speak a short question and confirm the reply comes from the local service."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the repo QwenAudio/qwen-audio-agent to connect the Hugging Face speech-to-speech frontend running at <service URL>. Report the frontend name shown in the Gateway and whether a spoken question gets a reply. Verify the Gateway log shows the local service URL before reporting success.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "90 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the frontend is configurable for STT, LLM, and TTS only once the service is running, and the exact service setup is in the linked voice frontend guide, so the first run depends on that separate setup.",
