What would be the optimum setting for barge in when using deep gram stt and elevenlabs. Tts

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

I’m finding that very short words from the caller such as yes ok etc are causing the agent to stop speaking

Hey there! To help stop short words like "yes" or "ok" from accidentally triggering barge-in with Deepgram STT and ElevenLabs TTS, you can tweak a few settings: • Set

min_interruption_words

and `min_interruption_duration`: This makes sure that only longer or more intentional speech triggers barge-in. For example:

session = AgentSession(
    options=AgentSessionOptions(
        min_interruption_words=3,  # Needs at least 3 words to trigger interruption
        min_interruption_duration=1.5  # Needs at least 1.5 seconds of speech
    )
)

• Fine-tune Deepgram STT settings: Use the

endpointing

parameter to better decide when speech is finished. Like this:

stt = deepgram.STT(
    model="your_model",
    endpointing=0.8  # Adjust this value to get endpoint detection just right
)

• Improve ElevenLabs TTS voice settings: Play with voice parameters such as speed and stability to make the synthesized speech sound smoother:

tts = elevenlabs.TTS(
    voice_id="your_voice_id",
    voice_settings=elevenlabs.VoiceSettings(
        speed=1.0,
        stability=0.8
    )
)

Putting these tweaks together should help cut down on those accidental interruptions while keeping the conversation feeling natural. If you want, I’m here to help you with any other questions!
