Test Your EchoKit Server

Once you have your EchoKit server running successfully, you can test it using a web-based EchoKit client to verify that voice interactions work properly.

Prerequisites​

Before testing, ensure:

  • Your EchoKit server is running and accessible
  • You know your server's IP address and port
  • Your browser supports WebSocket connections
  • Your microphone is working and accessible to the browser

Testing Steps​

1. Overall instructions​

Go to https://echokit.dev/chat/ in your web browser.

2. Download the Test EchoKit Client​

  1. Download the index.html file to your local computer
  2. Save it in a location you can easily find (e.g., Desktop or Downloads folder)

3. Open the Test Client​

  1. Double-click the downloaded index.html file
  2. It will open in your default web browser
  3. Allow microphone access when prompted by your browser

4. Connect to Your Server​

  1. Enter your EchoKit server's WebSocket URL in the connection field
    • Format: ws://[your-server-ip]:[port]/ws/
    • Examples: ws://192.168.1.100:9090/ws/

  1. Click "Connect" to establish the WebSocket connection
    • You should see a "Connected" status message

5. Test Voice Interaction​

  1. Click "Start Listening" to begin voice capture
  2. Start speaking your question or command
    • Speak clearly and at normal volume
    • Wait for the system to process your speech
  3. Click "Stop Listening" when you finish speaking
  4. Wait for the response - EchoKit will process and respond with voice

Expected Behavior​

Successful Test Flow:

  1. Connection established ✅
  2. Speech captured and sent to server ✅
  3. Server processes speech → text → LLM → text → speech ✅
  4. Audio response plays in your browser ✅

✅ Success! Once you can successfully have a voice conversation through the web interface, your EchoKit server is ready for real-world use.
