Speech-to-speech model
WHAT IT MEANS
One AI model that listens and speaks directly, without converting to text in between.
Real example
Realtime voice models from OpenAI and Google.
What’s normal
It’s faster and sounds more natural, but it’s harder to control, test and audit than a cascaded pipeline.
The India angle
Support for Indian languages and accents is still uneven, so test in your exact language.
Questions to ask your vendor
How do you check what the AI said if there’s no text step?
How good is it in Hindi, Tamil or our language?
What does it cost per minute compared with a cascaded setup?
