Thanks for reaching out, Abhishek. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks — I can help with mid-conversation language switching. A few quick questions so I give the right guidance: • Are you building a voice agent (STT/TTS) or a text chat UI? • Which STT/TTS providers are you using (or planning to use)? • Do you need the switch to be automatic (detect spoken language) or manual (user selects language)? If you’re building a voice agent and want automatic switching, the usual approach is: • Use multilingual STT (e.g., Deepgram with
language="multi"
) to detect language per transcript event. • Intercept those transcript events, extract the detected language code, and map it to your TTS language codes. • When a change is detected, call your TTS update method (for example
update_options()
) to switch TTS language/voice mid-call. • Optionally publish the current language as a participant attribute so the frontend can display it. If you tell me which option (voice vs text) and your STT/TTS providers, I’ll give concrete code snippets or steps.
