Hermes-Discord-Voice

Self-hosted voice for the Hermes agent, straight in a Discord call.

The bot joins your Discord voice channel, captures a spoken turn, transcribes it locally with Whisper, sends the text to Hermes, and speaks the reply back through the TTS voice you pick. Personal servers only, with no hosted service in the middle.

Problem

Talking to a local agent over Discord voice usually means trusting a hosted bot and giving up control of the speech pipeline.

What I built

A self-hosted Discord.js bridge with local whisper-cli transcription, one Hermes session per guild, a per-guild speaker allowlist, and pluggable TTS: Piper, macOS say, ElevenLabs or a custom command.

Highlights

Joins Discord voice, records a turn, and transcribes it locally with whisper-cli, no cloud speech recognition.
Routes transcripts to Hermes over CLI by default, or its API/Gateway.
Replies through Piper, macOS say, ElevenLabs, or your own TTS command.
Private by default: one session per guild with a speaker allowlist you control.
