Streaming ASR

"Speech recognition technology that processes audio in real-time as it is being spoken, rather than waiting for a pause."

In short

What is Streaming ASR?

Speech recognition technology that processes audio in real-time as it is being spoken, rather than waiting for a pause. Botcadence teams apply this in production with Voice Agents.

Deep Dive

Streaming ASR helps pursue Sub-500ms Latency; measured latency still depends on model and network. By transcribing speech as it happens, the AI can begin 'thinking' about its response while the human is still finishing their sentence. Engineering teams treat Streaming ASR as an infrastructure choice: measure quality KPIs, set latency or accuracy budgets, and keep fallbacks when inputs degrade. See Voice Agents.
