{"slug": "lokutor-is-now-a-livekit-agents-plugin", "title": "Lokutor Is Now a LiveKit Agents Plugin", "summary": "Lokutor's speech recognition and text-to-speech are now available as a LiveKit Agents plugin, with livekit-plugins-lokutor merged into the livekit/agents repository on 12 November 2026. The lokutor.STT and lokutor.TTS plugins each handle nine languages — English, Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque, Portuguese, French, Italian and German — with a single model per direction, so existing LiveKit agents can switch speech providers by changing only the stt= and tts= lines. The package is expected on PyPI with LiveKit's next release, and can be installed from LiveKit's repository in the meantime.", "body_md": "Lokutor is now a plugin for [LiveKit Agents](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/). `livekit-plugins-lokutor` was [merged into livekit/agents](https://github.com/livekit/agents/pull/7256) on 12 November 2026, and it gives any LiveKit agent our speech recognition and our voices.\n\n[LiveKit](https://livekit.io) is open-source infrastructure for realtime audio and video. LiveKit Agents is its Python framework for voice agents that join a room or a phone call. The framework runs the conversation: the room, turn-taking, interruptions and the language model. Plugins supply the speech in and out.\n\n`lokutor.STT`` lokutor.TTS`\nBoth work in English, Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque, Portuguese, French, Italian and German. Each direction is one model for all nine languages, so there is no per-language routing to set up.\n\n``` python\nfrom livekit.agents import Agent, AgentServer, AgentSession, JobContext, cli\nfrom livekit.plugins import lokutor, openai, silero\n\nserver = AgentServer()\n\n@server.rtc_session()\nasync def entrypoint(ctx: JobContext) -> None:\n    session = AgentSession(\n        stt=lokutor.STT(language=\"es\"),\n        llm=openai.LLM(),\n        tts=lokutor.TTS(voice=\"F1\", language=\"es\"),\n        vad=silero.VAD.load(),\n    )\n    await session.start(agent=Agent(instructions=\"Eres una recepcionista amable.\"), room=ctx.room)\n\nif __name__ == \"__main__\":\n    cli.run_app(server)\n```\n\nIf you already run a LiveKit agent, switching to Lokutor's speech means changing the `stt=` and `tts=` lines; the rest of the agent stays as it is.\n\nInstall it with LiveKit Agents:\n\n```\npip install \"livekit-agents[lokutor]~=1.8\"\n```\n\nThe package is expected to be published to PyPI with LiveKit's next release. Until then, the [integration guide](https://docs.lokutor.com/guides/livekit-integration) shows how to install it from LiveKit's repository.\n\nIf you want Lokutor to run the whole conversation, including the LLM, turn-taking, tools, phone numbers and recordings, use a [Lokutor agent](https://docs.lokutor.com/guides/my-first-agent) instead. The plugin is for teams who already build on LiveKit and want our speech inside their pipeline.\n\n`LOKUTOR_API_KEY`.\nThanks to the LiveKit team, who reviewed the plugin closely over several rounds.
