OpenAI's voice-to-voice realtime API
VoicePaidLLM-drafted
Part of this entry was LLM-drafted and is being polished.
OpenAI's Realtime API takes voice input and returns voice output without the STT → LLM → TTS pipeline — same model that powers ChatGPT voice mode. Lower latency, more natural conversational rhythm. Pay per audio minute.
Editor's verdict
Best when conversational naturalness matters more than absolute latency — interruptions, hesitations, emotion all flow through unlike pipelines. More expensive than building your own STT+LLM+TTS pipeline; the question is whether the naturalness justifies the cost for your product. For consumer voice apps where users notice quality, often yes.
