Description

Ink 2 represents Cartesia's most advanced and precise streaming speech-to-text model, designed specifically for production voice agents, boasting the lowest word error rate and superior turn detection of any available streaming STT. This model excels in accurately transcribing structured data types like phone numbers, dates, and email addresses on the first attempt, while intuitively recognizing when a speaker begins and ends their speech, eliminating the need for a separate voice activity detection mechanism. Integrated turn detection allows voice agents to respond to events seamlessly, rather than sifting through raw transcript segments. Ink 2 generates a comprehensive array of turn events, providing agents with definitive cues regarding when to listen, interrupt, contemplate, prepare to respond, retract an untimely reply, or engage in conversation. Additionally, the transcript retains a cumulative nature within each turn, ensuring that every update presents the complete text transcribed up to that point rather than just the incremental changes, and the emitted text is considered final the moment it is sent. This innovative design enhances the interaction quality between voice agents and users, making conversations smoother and more effective.

Description

The Gemini Live API is an advanced preview feature designed to facilitate low-latency, bidirectional interactions through voice and video with the Gemini system. This innovation allows users to engage in conversations that feel natural and human-like, while also enabling them to interrupt the model's responses via voice commands. In addition to handling text inputs, the model is capable of processing audio and video, yielding both text and audio outputs. Recent enhancements include the introduction of two new voice options and support for 30 additional languages, along with the ability to configure the output language as needed. Furthermore, users can adjust image resolution settings (66/256 tokens), decide on turn coverage (whether to send all inputs continuously or only during user speech), and customize interruption preferences. Additional features encompass voice activity detection, new client events for signaling the end of a turn, token count tracking, and a client event for marking the end of the stream. The system also supports text streaming, along with configurable session resumption that retains session data on the server for up to 24 hours, and the capability for extended sessions utilizing a sliding context window for better conversation continuity. Overall, Gemini Live API enhances interaction quality, making it more versatile and user-friendly.
