• ⚠️ The default VADParams stop_secs default is changing from 0.8 seconds to 0.2 seconds. This change both simplifies the developer experience and improves the performance of STT services. With a shorter stop_secs value, STT services using a local VAD can finalize sooner, resulting in faster transcription.

  • SpeechTimeoutUserTurnStopStrategy: control how long to wait for additional user speech using user_speech_timeout (default: 0.6 sec).
  • TurnAnalyzerUserTurnStopStrategy: the turn analyzer automatically adjusts the user wait time based on the audio input.
