FastRTC
FastRTC is a Python library designed for real-time communication, enabling developers to turn any Python function into a real-time audio and video stream over WebRTC or WebSockets.
Key Features
- Automatic Voice Detection and Turn Taking: Built-in functionality to manage user interactions seamlessly.
- Automatic UI: Launch a WebRTC-enabled Gradio UI with the
.ui.launch()method for easy testing and sharing. - WebRTC Support: Easily integrate with FastAPI apps using the
.mount(app)method to create WebRTC endpoints. - WebSocket Support: Similar to WebRTC, it allows for WebSocket endpoints for custom frontends.
- Telephone Support: Use the
fastphone()method to get a temporary phone number for audio streams. - Customizable Backend: Easily extend the backend to fit production needs, with examples available in the documentation.
Benefits
FastRTC simplifies the process of creating real-time communication applications, allowing developers to focus on application logic rather than the underlying communication protocols. With built-in support for various APIs and easy integration with existing systems, it is a powerful tool for building interactive applications.
Highlights
- Supports multiple modalities including audio and video.
- Provides examples and documentation for quick start and advanced usage.
- Active community and contributions on GitHub.
