Eager turn detection
Turns predicts the end of a speaker's turn eagerly — it reads the acoustic and linguistic signal as the audio arrives and commits the moment the turn is genuinely complete, rather than waiting out a fixed silence timer.
The result is an agent that replies the instant you stop talking, without clipping you mid-sentence when you simply pause to think.
Automatic barge-in
Real conversations interrupt. The Turns endpoint supports barge-in out of the box: when a speaker starts talking over the agent, Turns detects it immediately and surfaces the new turn, so your agent can stop speaking and listen. No separate interruption pipeline required.
