Thanks for reaching out, Ethan. 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 whether LiveKit supports context‑aware TTS. Short answer: LiveKit does not provide autonomous context‑aware TTS (a TTS model that dynamically adapts prosody/intonation from conversation context). What you can do in LiveKit: • Use speech tags (e.g.,
[laugh]
,
[pause]
,
<whisper>
) with xAI TTS to control delivery programmatically. • Use detailed performance prompts with Gemini TTS to request a style (e.g., “warm and unhurried”); this requires prompt engineering rather than automatic context adaptation. • Integrate other TTS plugins (ElevenLabs, Polly, Inworld) and drive style via parameters/tags you insert. Note: LiveKit’s context‑aware turn detector improves end‑of‑utterance detection and turn-taking (helps when mixing STT/VAD), but that doesn’t make TTS generation itself context‑aware. Would you like examples of speech tags or a sample Gemini prompt to achieve a specific speaking style?

I don't have the answer you're looking for. You could also try asking your question: • in one of the other Slack channels or • to https://deepwiki.com/livekit/livekit_composite which is trained on all LiveKit source code If you find the answer, please post it here to help others!
