/ About this event

Voice is becoming a first-class way to work a computer, and the teams building it have the scars to prove it. Aqua Voice (voice interfaces), Speechmatics (voice APIs), and LiveKit (real-time voice infrastructure) are hosting an evening of engineering shop talk on what it takes to make talking to software feel instant, accurate, and natural.

Short talks from engineers at all three teams on the problems still in the way: turn detection, diarization, endpointing, interruptions, and the milliseconds in between. High signal, no noise.

​An hour of talks & demos, then two hours of drinks, food, and conversation.

​If you're building voice agents, dictation, meeting tools, or anything with a microphone, this is your room.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com
