# piper-openai-proxy
OpenAI-compatible TTS API proxy for [Piper](https://github.com/rhasspy/piper) via the [Wyoming protocol](https://github.com/rhasspy/wyoming).
Any tool that speaks the OpenAI `/v1/audio/speech` API can use your local Piper instance without modification.
## Usage
```bash
python3 server.py
```
Environment variables:
- `PIPER_HOST` — Piper Wyoming host (default: `192.168.86.11`)
- `PIPER_PORT` — Piper Wyoming port (default: `10200`)
- `LISTEN_PORT` — Proxy listen port (default: `8951`)
## API
```bash
# Generate speech
curl -X POST http://localhost:8951/v1/audio/speech \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"input": "Hello world"}' \
-o speech.wav
# Health check
curl http://localhost:8951/health
```
## Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- No dependencies (stdlib only)
- A running [Piper Wyoming server](https://github.com/rhasspy/wyoming-piper)
## How it works
The proxy translates OpenAI TTS API requests into Wyoming protocol messages over a raw TCP socket. Piper generates the audio, and the proxy wraps the raw PCM in a WAV container and returns it.
