The Neural Telephony Pipeline

How Noviq Voice AI connects live telecom carrier streams to local AI models with sub-second turnaround.

STAGE 01

Voice Activity Detection

Silero VAD v5 samples 20ms audio frames continuously. Detects speech onset in <1ms and marks speech offset after 400ms of user silence.

STAGE 02

Speech-to-Text (STT)

Faster-Whisper processes the speech buffer in non-blocking async threads with a 0.19x Real-Time Factor (RTF), generating accurate Hindi/English text.

STAGE 03

LLM Reasoning Stream

Tokens stream at 70+ tokens/sec using our local Qwen 2.5 model. Our sentence boundary chunker dispatches clauses immediately to the speech synthesizer.

STAGE 04

Kokoro Neural Speech

Kokoro-82M synthesizes natural 24kHz audio, converted in-memory to G.711 $\mu$-law 8kHz and streamed back through Plivo carrier WebSockets.
