Fix Voice Bot Latency

I’ve already taken my voice bot from concept to a fully working prototype, but two issues still stand in the way of a smooth experience: barge-in handling and an audible delay during audio playback. The speech recognition and response generation return almost instantly; the pause only appears between receiving the TTS stream and hearing it, and I’m currently unsure whether that delay remains constant or drifts. Because the codebase contains sensitive material I can’t share, I’m looking for someone who can jump on a live session (Zoom, Google Meet, or a tool of your choice), inspect logs and metrics on my machine in real time, and walk me through the quickest path to a fix. You should be comfortable profiling audio pipelines, tuning buffering, and advising on barge-in strategies without full source access. Deliverables — during, or immediately after, the session: • Diagnosis of the root cause of the audio playback latency. • Practical steps (config tweaks, library settings, or lightweight code snippets) that let me reproduce your fix on my end. • Guidelines for reliable barge-in detection so user speech can interrupt playback cleanly. • A brief summary document capturing what we tried, what succeeded, and any next steps. If you’ve solved similar real-time audio glitches before and can hop on a call right away, I’m ready to give you remote control and get this over the line today.
