Speech interfaces and voice agents

not yet earned

I can close a speech loop with a latency budget that survives a real conversation, and handle the case everyone skips — a user interrupting.

What this claim costs

  • 4 assessed items at tier 2 or above0 of 4 — 4 more to do, from 22 available
  • A public artifact built for this claim — voice-loopNot built yet
  • A documented negative result — where this stops workingNothing recorded. A capability with no known failure boundary has not been explored.
  • Defended aloud, against questions you did not write1 available, none done
  • Recalled cold, a week later, without notes6 scheduled, none done

The proof

voice-loop

A bidirectional speech path with a measured turn-taking budget and a documented barge-in behaviour.

What it has to contain

  • A bidirectional speech loop with a measured turn-taking budget
  • Latency reported as a distribution from the user's action, never a mean
  • Barge-in behaviour documented, including what it gets wrong

Where it stops working. Not established yet. Anyone can ship a demo; the boundary is the part that is worth reading, so this claim is not earned until it is written down.
