Ningyao Voice Launcher

Install and configure a local browser-based Chinese voice chat launcher with the Ning Yao persona, including one-click Windows launchers, browser speech I/O, screen awareness, and a safe terminal panel. Use when the user wants a local voice companion, a persona-tuned voice chat setup, or help packaging/deploying the Ning Yao voice launcher.

Install the bundled launcher into a user-chosen folder, then configure .env and run it.

Workflow

1. Copy assets/voice-chat-local into the target folder.
2. Install dependencies with npm install in the copied folder.
3. Copy .env.example to .env and fill in OPENAI_API_KEY.
4. Start with start-voice-chat.cmd or start-voice-chat-bg.cmd.

Bundled Files

• assets/voice-chat-local: Browser voice chat app template.
• scripts/install-launcher.ps1: Windows installer/copy helper.

Windows Install

Run:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/install-launcher.ps1 -Destination "$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\ningyao-voice-chat"

The installer copies the template, skips .env, and can optionally run npm install.

Configuration

Set these in .env:

• OPENAI_API_KEY: required
• OPENAI_BASE_URL: optional API-compatible endpoint
• OPENAI_MODEL: text + vision capable model if screen analysis is needed
• OPENAI_TIMEOUT_MS: request timeout
• PORT: local port
• SYSTEM_PROMPT: persona prompt

Notes

• Prefer Chrome or Edge for browser speech recognition and speech synthesis.
• The terminal panel is intentionally restricted to a small whitelist.
• If screen analysis is enabled, choose a model that supports image input.
