Turn handling options

Status: implemented.

Use this page to look up turn detection, endpointing, and interruption controls.

Turn detection modes

Mode	Constant
stt	agent.TurnDetectionModeSTT
vad	agent.TurnDetectionModeVAD
realtime_llm	agent.TurnDetectionModeRealtimeLLM
manual	agent.TurnDetectionModeManual

The active mode can come from Agent.TurnDetection, AgentSessionOptions.TurnDetection, or AgentSessionUpdateOptions.TurnDetection, depending on where the session is being configured.

Session options

Turn-related fields live in AgentSessionOptions, including:

• AllowInterruptions
• DiscardAudioIfUninterruptible
• MinInterruptionDuration
• MinInterruptionWords
• MinEndpointingDelay
• MaxEndpointingDelay
• EndpointingMode
• EndpointingAlpha
• Endpointing
• FalseInterruptionTimeout
• ResumeFalseInterruption
• MinConsecutiveSpeechDelay
• TurnDetection

Provider-specific endpointing and turn detector options are configured through app/provider fields only when the selected adapter consumes them.
