can we use the livekti interrupt api to interrupt tts output mid eneration?

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


Thanks — I’m responding to your question about interrupting TTS mid-generation.

Yes. You can use LiveKit’s interrupt API to stop TTS output while it’s being generated. Use `AgentActivity.interrupt()` (Python/Node) or `session.interrupt()` / `handle.interrupt()` to cancel the current synthesis and clear queued speeches. Note the speech must allow interruptions (`allow_interruptions=True`, which is the default) for interruption to take effect.

Would you like a short code example for your language (Node or Python) or guidance on handling interruption events?
