Conversational latency is the critical threshold in human speech: if an AI voice assistant pauses for more than 500 milliseconds before replying, the natural flow of conversation breaks down.
Achieving sub-400ms latency requires full-duplex streaming audio over WebSockets, pairing ultra-fast speech-to-text (STT) models like Whisper with streaming token LLM generation and real-time voice synthesis.
Furthermore, implementing acoustic voice activity detection (VAD) allows callers to naturally interrupt the AI agent mid-sentence, mirroring authentic human conversation.
AVELIO architects enterprise real-time voice calling agents that qualify inbound sales leads and manage high-volume customer reservations with remarkable human fidelity.
Key Architectural Takeaway
