Voxta Manage Services
The Services screen — your installed modules, what's enabled, configuration, ordering, and cloning.
The Manage Services screen is where you configure everything Voxta talks to: LLMs, voices, transcription, vision, search, hardware. It's where you'll spend most of your tinkering time.
What's required
You need at least one of each of these for a complete conversation loop:
- Text Generation / LLM — generates replies.
- Text-to-Speech (TTS) — speaks them.
- Speech-to-Text (STT) — transcribes your voice.
- Action Inference + Summarization — usually shared with Text Generation, but can be a separate model.
If you skip a category you'll get a friendly warning at the top of the page until it's filled.
Voxta automatically picks the first available service in each category. Reorder services on this screen to change the default pick.
Disable, reorder, clone
Each installed service has controls on the right:
- Toggle — disable without uninstalling. The service stays configured but isn't used.
- Reorder — drag to change priority. The topmost enabled service is used by default.
- Clone — duplicate the configuration. Useful when you want the same service with different settings (e.g. one OpenAI clone for chat using GPT-4o, another for action inference using GPT-4o-mini).
Use labels on clones to keep them straight in the dropdowns elsewhere in the UI.
Voxta service ranking system
When you browse the catalog, services display a rank. This is Voxta's editorial judgment of overall quality:
| Rank | Meaning |
|---|---|
| S — Superior | Exceptional. Goes beyond what you'd expect. |
| A — Excellent | Strong performance, reliable, often exceeds expectations. |
| B — Good | Consistently good, reliable for everyday use. |
| C — Average | Adequate, fine for basic operation. |
| D — Poor | Subpar; only use if there's no better option for your use case. |
And a cost indicator:
| Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 💲💲💲 | Expensive cloud service |
| 💲💲 | Moderate cost |
| 💲 | Cheap |
| 💻 | Self-hosted / runs on your machine |
Rankings are subjective — they're our team's read on the service in the Voxta context. A "C" service might be perfect for your specific need. Use rankings as a starting point, not gospel.
