Add TurnAwareTranscriptProcessor for turn-based transcript tracking
- Implements TurnAwareTranscriptProcessor that combines user and assistant transcript tracking with turn boundary detection - Correctly handles interruptions by capturing only what was actually spoken - Emits on_turn_started and on_turn_ended events with accumulated transcripts - Handles async frame processing with strategic delays to ensure proper text accumulation - Adds comprehensive tests covering basic flow, interruptions, and multiple turns - Includes documentation and usage examples

# TurnAwareTranscriptProcessor Example
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The `TurnAwareTranscriptProcessor` combines user and assistant transcript tracking with turn boundary detection. It correctly handles interruptions by only capturing what was actually spoken.
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from pipecat.processors.transcript_processor import TurnAwareTranscriptProcessor
|
||||
|
||||
# Create the processor
|
||||
turn_processor = TurnAwareTranscriptProcessor()
|
||||
|
||||
# Register event handlers
|
||||
@turn_processor.event_handler("on_turn_started")
|
||||
async def handle_turn_started(processor, turn_number):
|
||||
print(f"Turn {turn_number} started")
|
||||
|
||||
@turn_processor.event_handler("on_turn_ended")
|
||||
async def handle_turn_ended(processor, turn_number, user_text, assistant_text, was_interrupted):
|
||||
print(f"\nTurn {turn_number} ended:")
|
||||
print(f" User said: {user_text}")
|
||||
print(f" Assistant said: {assistant_text}")
|
||||
print(f" Was interrupted: {was_interrupted}")
|
||||
|
||||
@turn_processor.event_handler("on_transcript_update")
|
||||
async def handle_transcript_update(processor, frame):
|
||||
for msg in frame.messages:
|
||||
print(f"[{msg.role}]: {msg.content}")
|
||||
|
||||
# Add to pipeline
|
||||
pipeline = Pipeline([
|
||||
transport.input(),
|
||||
stt,
|
||||
turn_processor, # Process transcripts and track turns
|
||||
context_aggregator.user(),
|
||||
llm,
|
||||
tts,
|
||||
transport.output(),
|
||||
context_aggregator.assistant(),
|
||||
])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Turn Boundary Detection**: Automatically detects when turns start and end based on user and bot speaking patterns
|
||||
2. **Interruption Handling**: Correctly captures only what was actually spoken when interruptions occur
|
||||
3. **Real-time Transcripts**: Emits transcript messages for both user and assistant speech
|
||||
4. **Turn Events**: Provides start/end events with accumulated transcripts for each turn
|
||||
|
||||
## Events
|
||||
|
||||
### on_turn_started
|
||||
Emitted when a new turn begins (user starts speaking).
|
||||
|
||||
**Handler signature**: `async def handler(processor, turn_number)`
|
||||
|
||||
### on_turn_ended
|
||||
Emitted when a turn ends with accumulated transcripts.
|
||||
|
||||
**Handler signature**: `async def handler(processor, turn_number, user_transcript, assistant_transcript, was_interrupted)`
|
||||
|
||||
### on_transcript_update
|
||||
Inherited from `BaseTranscriptProcessor`, emitted for individual transcript messages.
|
||||
|
||||
**Handler signature**: `async def handler(processor, frame)`
|
||||
|
||||
## Turn Logic
|
||||
|
||||
- Turns start when the user begins speaking (`UserStartedSpeakingFrame`)
|
||||
- Turns end when:
|
||||
- The user starts speaking again (previous turn ends, new turn starts)
|
||||
- The bot is interrupted (`InterruptionFrame`)
|
||||
- The pipeline ends (`EndFrame`/`CancelFrame`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with OpenTelemetry
|
||||
|
||||
You can use turn events to enrich OpenTelemetry spans:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from pipecat.utils.tracing.turn_trace_observer import TurnTraceObserver
|
||||
|
||||
turn_tracker = TurnTrackingObserver()
|
||||
turn_tracer = TurnTraceObserver(turn_tracker)
|
||||
turn_processor = TurnAwareTranscriptProcessor()
|
||||
|
||||
@turn_processor.event_handler("on_turn_ended")
|
||||
async def add_transcripts_to_span(processor, turn_number, user_text, assistant_text, interrupted):
|
||||
# Get current span and add transcript data
|
||||
from opentelemetry import trace
|
||||
current_span = trace.get_current_span()
|
||||
if current_span:
|
||||
current_span.set_attribute("turn.user_text", user_text)
|
||||
current_span.set_attribute("turn.assistant_text", assistant_text)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- The processor handles async frame processing correctly by delaying turn end until frames are processed
|
||||
- Works with word-level timestamps from TTS services like Cartesia
|
||||
- Accumulates both user (`TranscriptionFrame`) and assistant (`TTSTextFrame`) speech
|
||||
- Emits individual transcript messages in addition to turn-level aggregation
