You create a regular tcp socket, shake hands, transfer data in the required format. The rest depends on your preferences. Possible options:

• Regular socket without third party libraries
  
• Websocket library like websocket-client
  
• Asynchronous websocket library like websockets
  
• Your favorite framework like FastAPI
  
• The library of the server you are going to communicate with, such as VoiceKit Python
