speech to text

Voice is a major modality and a common applied-AI surface. The signal is the audio-to-text pipeline, why Whisper is resilient, and the cumulative latency budget that makes or breaks a real-time voice agent.

Real-time transcription at scale tests streaming ASR, latency budgets, and GPU fleet management under heavy concurrency. The signal is streaming chunked inference with partial results, not batch transcription. Here is the design.

A voice assistant chains STT, an LLM, and TTS under a brutal latency budget where every stage adds delay. The signal is streaming and pipelining the stages plus turn-taking, not three blocking calls. Here is the design.
