docs(asr): realtime STT fixes from a customer integration test (merge after realtime-asr#14 deploys) - #268
Merged
Conversation
WebSocket reference and AsyncAPI spec, from the integration test: - audio.data must be MessagePack bin with the raw PCM bytes; base64, strings and arrays get a recoverable invalid_request and are dropped. - config with an unknown field is invalid_config (close 4400, the message names the field); configure with an unknown field, a changed audio or context.history gets configured ok:false. audio is fixed for the session; an identical audio is accepted. - A first message that is not a readable config (text frame, JSON) is invalid_config; invalid_request is for messages after config. JSON is not accepted in any frame. - idle_timeout also covers no config within 10 s of connecting. - A WebSocket ping keeps the session open (keepalive section). - Audio sent before session_started is read once the session starts. - Authorization: write the scheme exactly as "Bearer ". - vad silence_timeout_ms: every pause of that length ends the turn; start with 500 ms or more for conversation. - Speakers: whitespace after a tag can vary; new Sound tags section. - Language: "uh"/"um" ignored; short replies usually get no label. - Connections count against the account concurrency limit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Languages: turn detection, eager end of turn included, works on speech in every language; in some languages a turn can end a little later. - Speakers: trim after stripping tags; point to Sound tags. - Limits: a connection counts against the same concurrency limit as other API requests from open to close, linked to the pricing page. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Voice agent: - words() strips speaker and sound tags and collapses whitespace, so a turn that is only "[laughs]" is not answered. - Cap a duck at about 2 seconds; echo can open turns for a whole reply. - Watch the audio source: client pings keep a stalled session open. - Languages: turn detection works in every language; vad mode at 500 ms or more for faster turns. Quickstart: - data must travel as MessagePack bin, not base64. - One line on pings and the idle limit, linked to the voice agent page. - Browser strip() removes sound tags too and collapses whitespace. - Example output shows the usual space after the speaker tag.

…ns; send only listed fields Language: "um" is not dropped before detection (it is also a word in other languages), so list only "okay", "hmm" and "uh" as ignored interjections. config and configure: not every field outside the documented list is refused, so say to send only the listed fields and to check session_started.config / configured.config for the settings in effect. Same in the AsyncAPI spec. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

| `text` can contain sound tags in square brackets, such as `[laughter]`, `[laughs]`, `[sighs]` or `[pause]`, in every turn detection mode and whether `diarize` is on or off. The set is open: a tag can be any short description, sometimes several words long. A turn's text can be a tag alone. Language detection ignores tags. | ||

| Tags are sounds, not words. Strip them when you need only the words, for example for search, word counts, or deciding whether there is anything to answer: remove every match of the regular expression `\[[^\[\]]*\]`, then trim the text and collapse runs of whitespace into one space. If you keep them for a language model, tell it that they are sounds, and do not answer a turn that holds only tags. |

Replace sound tags with spaces before collapsing whitespace.
If a transcript contains Good[laughs]morning, the stated procedure produces Goodmorning. The browser and voice-agent helpers follow that procedure. Replace each tag with a space before collapsing whitespace, and update both helpers so they preserve the word boundary.

| 3. On `user_turn_taken`, the user is taking the turn: stop the agent and send `agent_speaking: false`. | ||
| 4. On `committed` with `user_turn: false`, restore the volume. | ||
| 5. Cap any duck on your side to a few seconds: a turn over continuous background noise can last up to 20 seconds. When the user starts talking over such noise, `user_turn_taken` can come a few hundred milliseconds later than usual. | ||
| 5. Cap any duck on your side at about 2 seconds, then restore the volume even if the turn is still open. For a real interruption, `user_turn_taken` normally comes within about a second of `speech_start`. Non-user turns can stay open much longer: leftover echo of your agent's own voice can open a turn that lasts as long as the reply, and a turn over continuous background noise can last up to 20 seconds. When the user starts talking over such noise, `user_turn_taken` can come a few hundred milliseconds later than usual. |

Implement the duck limit in the recipe.
This step says to restore volume after about two seconds, but Agent.on_event has no timer after duck(True) at Line 162. If echo or background noise keeps a non-user turn open, a reader who replaces the duck() placeholder can leave the reply ducked until that turn commits. Add a bounded restoration task and cancel it when a backchannel, barge-in, or commit resolves the turn.

Summary
Fixes to the unlisted Realtime Speech to Text pages, from an external-customer integration test of these docs. The pages stay hidden and noindex; docs.json, llms.txt and openapi.json are untouched.
Merge only after fishaudio/realtime-asr#14 is deployed. Items 1–3 describe behaviour that ships with it.
bin. Do not base64-encode it, and do not send it as a string or an array. A message that does is dropped and gets a recoverableinvalid_request. This is covered in the reference, the AsyncAPI spec and the quickstart, which also notes the msgpack default to keep.configfield getsinvalid_configand close 4400, and the message names the field.configurewith an unknown field, a changedaudioorcontext.historygetsok: false, and nothing in it is applied. An identicalaudiois accepted.audiois fixed for the session.context.historyis ignored in configure" line is gone.config(a text frame or JSON) isinvalid_config.invalid_requestnow covers only messages afterconfig, including non-binaudio. JSON is not accepted in any frame.configwithin 10 s givesidle_timeoutand close 4408. A WebSocket ping counts as client activity, which the reference, the quickstart and the voice-agent cookbook now spell out: Pythonwebsocketspings every 20 s by default.vadwith short timeouts. At short values a sentence can arrive as several turns, and a word that starts softly can be split across two turns. The pages suggest starting with 500 ms or more.[laughter]and[pause], and when to strip them. The voice-agent and browser helpers now strip them and collapse whitespace, and the voice agent no longer answers a tag-only turn. Whitespace after a speaker tag can vary.session_startedis read once the session starts.Bearer.There are no prices, language lists, Chinese characters or internal names. The cookbook recipes were run offline against a fake server that speaks the documented wire format (2/2 Python, 1/1 JS, browser
strip()6/6). The AsyncAPI spec parses, the MDX compiles and prettier passes.mint broken-linksreports the same 25 issues as before, none in these files.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
