What is Speakr?

Speakr is an open-source, self-hosted platform that turns audio recordings into organized, searchable notes. You upload a file or record in the browser, and Speakr produces a transcript, a title and a summary, and lets you ask questions about what was said.

This template wires Speakr to OpenAI for transcription and to OpenRouter for titles, summaries and chat, using keys you provide, while the recordings and the database stay on your own server.

From Sign-Up to Your First Transcript In Just 3 Easy Steps

A Speakr install normally means a container, two persistent volumes, a session secret, an administrator account, provider keys, a domain and a certificate before the first upload. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Speakr from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain, then enter the administrator email, your OpenAI transcription API key and your OpenRouter text-model API key.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official Speakr image, pinned by immutable digest, mount the speakr_uploads and speakr_instance volumes, generate the administrator password and session secret, turn public registration off and publish the app over HTTPS with no public database or cache port.

  3. Step 03

    Upload A Recording

    Open your HTTPS URL and sign in with the administrator email and the generated password shown in the credentials. Upload a short, non-sensitive MP3 or M4A recording and check its transcript and title.

Everything Speakr Does, On Your Own Server

Speakr runs in full here: upload or record audio, read the transcript, and get summaries and chat, with your recordings stored on volumes you own.

  • Searchable Transcripts

    Each recording becomes a transcript you can search, with playback synced to the text so you can jump to any line.

  • Titles And Summaries

    Speakr generates a title and summary for every recording through the OpenRouter text model you configure.

  • Chat About A Recording

    Ask questions about a recording and get answers drawn from its transcript, with timestamps that start playback at that moment.

  • Folders And Tags

    Organize a growing library with folders and tags, and search across recordings with Inquire Mode.

  • Speaker Labels With The Default Model

    The template uses OpenAI's gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize model, which labels who said what in a recording.

  • Generated Admin, Registration Closed

    xCloud generates the administrator password and public registration is disabled; add further users from Speakr's administrator interface.

What You Can Do With Speakr

  • Turn interviews into searchable transcripts

    Upload research or press interviews and find a quote later by searching the transcript instead of replaying the audio.

  • Get summaries of meetings and calls

    Let Speakr write a title and summary for each recording, then ask follow-up questions about it in chat.

  • Keep sensitive recordings in your own library

    Uploaded audio, the database and generated files live on volumes on your server rather than in a hosted note-taking service.

  • Build a library from lectures and podcasts

    Organize recordings in folders and tags, and search across them as the collection grows.

Speakr vs Alternatives

Otter.ai
A hosted transcription and meeting-notes service; Speakr covers the same job as an app on a server you run, with recordings stored on your own volumes.
Fireflies.ai
A hosted meeting assistant; Speakr is an open-source AGPL-3.0 app you deploy yourself and point at your own provider keys.
Faster-Whisper
A speech-to-text server that returns transcripts; Speakr is the full application on top, with a library, summaries and chat.
Paperless-AI
AI tagging and chat for scanned documents; Speakr applies the same idea to audio recordings.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!
Brian Geovanny
I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.
Kevin Pineda
I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.
Dumitru Butucel
xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar Ahmed
Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍
Rahul Singh
So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.
Massimo Villa
Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson El
I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.
Tony Lewis
I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowell
I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin Heinrichs
I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan Spinoza
Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Does Speakr include transcription or text-model credits?

No. You supply your own OpenAI transcription key and OpenRouter text-model key at install, and you remain responsible for usage and billing with those providers.

How do I sign in?

Open your HTTPS URL and sign in with the administrator email you entered (not the username admin) and the generated password shown in the installation credentials.

Is registration public?

No. Public registration is disabled and xCloud creates the initial administrator. Create any further users from Speakr's administrator interface and grant administrator privileges sparingly.

Is my audio kept private?

Recordings are stored on your server's volumes, but uploaded audio is sent to the configured transcription provider and transcript text may be sent to the text-model provider. Review each provider's privacy, retention and billing terms before you deploy.

Which audio formats work?

Upload MP3 or M4A recordings. WAV uploads fail with the default gpt-4o-transcribe-diarize model.

How large can an upload be?

The template raises the nginx request limit to 300 MB so recordings up to Speakr's stock per-file ceiling fit. If you raise Speakr's own limit in Admin Settings above 300 MB, uploads over that will still be rejected at the nginx layer.

What should I back up?

Back up the speakr_uploads and speakr_instance volumes together while transcription jobs are stopped. A complete restore needs both volumes plus the same stable session secret. Keep the provider keys and administrator password private.

Backups in xCloud

What survives a restart?

Data on the speakr_uploads and speakr_instance volumes, because they are persistent named volumes: the template's QA checked that application state was preserved across an xCloud Restart.

Does xCloud automatically back up or update Speakr?

No. The template pins Speakr 0.10.5-alpha by immutable digest; new installations use the pinned release and existing sites are not automatically upgraded. Before upgrading, read the upstream release notes, back up both volumes and test the migration on a restored copy, because a migrated database may not be safe to downgrade. Server-level backups and snapshots are available on every Cloud VPS.

What are the server requirements, and why does this page sell 16 GB?

The template's baseline asks for 2 CPU cores, 4096 MB of RAM and 10 GB of disk; production sizing depends on recording volume and concurrent processing. This page sells the 16 GB tier because a 4 GB minimum leaves little headroom on a 6 GB server once the OS is up.

Is xCloud officially partnered with Speakr?

No. No official partnership or endorsement between xCloud and the Speakr project has been verified. This is a deployment and server-management option for the open-source Speakr project.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
