Tune spoken language identification from the dashboard
September 10, 2026 · platform
Voice and Voice+Data projects can tune spoken language identification from Advanced voice pipeline. No runner env hacks required.
Settings
languageId.enabled turns LID off while keeping the Whisper model on cloud deploys.
languageId.minSpeechMs (1000–5000 ms, cloud default 2500) controls how much inbound audio Whisper tiny sees before the first user_language event each utterance.
Lower values identify sooner. Higher values trade latency for accuracy on short utterances. The SDK and self-hosted runners still default to 1000 ms when unset.
