What it is
Rasa is a long-running open-source conversational AI framework with NLU, dialog policies, and now LLM-powered CALM stories. Voice deployments wrap Rasa with Twilio Media Streams, Genesys, or Audiocodes connectors plus an ASR/TTS pair. Rasa is the default choice when buyers need self-hosted control and a transparent training pipeline.
Watch out for: Voice channel typically requires custom telephony adapters or third-party connectors.

Yes. Rasa Voice is free and open source.
Does Rasa Voice work on Mac, Windows and Linux?

How do I install Rasa Voice?
With pip: `pip install rasa`. You need Python and, for most audio tools, ffmpeg on your PATH first.
Does Rasa Voice identify different speakers?
No. Rasa Voice does not label speakers; a conversation comes back as one continuous text. If you need speaker labels, that is a separate tool or a different service.
Does Rasa Voice give word-level timestamps?

Voice channel typically requires custom telephony adapters or third-party connectors.
Who is Rasa Voice best for?

Does Rasa Voice run offline?

The automation recipes on this site show it wired to Drive folders, Zoom recordings, S3 buckets and no-code platforms.
