Realtime and voice APIs
A chat reply that takes two seconds feels fine. A voice reply that takes two seconds feels broken. Voice apps live or die on latency and turn-taking, not on how clever the model is.
In this lesson you'll learn to
- Compare a chained speech pipeline with a single speech-to-speech model.
- Build a latency budget for a voice turn and name where the time goes.
- Explain voice activity detection, end-of-turn detection and barge-in.
- Decide when voice is worth building, and how to design replies for listening.
