What is the use of streaming=True in tts capabilities?

Thanks for reaching out, Aditya. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

How is it different from normal TTS streaming?

Hey there! Let me break down the

streaming=True

magic for you in a friendly way 😊 The

streaming=True

attribute in TTS (Text-to-Speech) is like having a real-time audio translator that works as you're speaking. Instead of waiting for the whole message to be processed, it starts generating audio chunks right away. Think of it like subtitles appearing while someone is still talking - cool, right? This method uses websockets to send audio frames bit by bit, along with partial text results through the

delta_text

field. The neat part is tracking these pieces with

segment_id

, so you know exactly where in the conversation each audio bit belongs. Fields like

is_final

help signal when a complete thought has been synthesized. Basically, it means you get audio generation happening live, in real-time, as the text is being processed. No more waiting around for the entire script to be ready - you get instant, dynamic audio synthesis! 🎉 Sources: GitHub::livekit::agents | livekit-agents/livekit/agents/tts/tts.py | GitHub::livekit::livekit_composite | livekit/agents/livekit-agents/livekit/...
