Thanks for reaching out, YUNYI. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Could you please provide more details about the context in which you are using the InputSpeechStartedEvent? For example, are you referring to a specific SDK or integration? This will help me assist you better.

Realtime Agent, If I want to interrupt agent, can I just send InputSpeechStartedEvent event or I still need other interruption logic?
t
Hey there! Let me walk you through how interrupting a Realtime Agent works. Sending the
InputSpeechStartedEvent
is actually super important - think of it like raising your hand to politely jump into a conversation. • Stops any currently playing audio. • Cancels the response if the model supports truncation. • Truncates the conversation item at the current point. • Updates the agent state to "listening." Just between us, this is usually part of a bigger interruption strategy. The
interrupt()
method isn't just triggered by this event - it can also kick in with things like
agent_speech_stopped
. So if you're setting this up, my friendly advice is to make sure you've got a solid plan for handling all these different interruption scenarios. Trust me, it'll make your system way smoother! 😊 Sources: livekit.agents.multimodal.multimodal_agent API documentation | livekit.agents.multimodal API documentation | GitHub::livekit::agents | livekit-agents/livekit/agents/voice/agent_activit...

Not pretty of that, If we don't implement interrupt() method, will InputSpeechStartedEvent work?
t
Hey there! Let me break this down in a friendly way. The
InputSpeechStartedEvent
works best when it's paired with the
interrupt()
method - think of them as a dynamic duo. If you haven't set up the
interrupt()
method, things might get a bit wonky. Basically, this method is super important because it helps stop audio and gets your agent ready to listen. Without it, you might run into some frustrating errors or find that interrupting speech doesn't work smoothly. It's like having a walkie-talkie where only one person can talk at a time - you need both sides to communicate effectively!
