Skill UI

This SDK enables the development of real-time, conversational AI applications using Azure Cognitive Services. It supports bidirectional communication via WebSockets, allowing for continuous audio streaming (mic input) and receiving synthesized speech output. Ideal for building voice assistants, IVR systems, and interactive voice experiences.

This skill guides the development of advanced voice agents, representing the frontier of natural human-AI interaction. It covers both low-latency Speech-to-Speech (S2S) architectures (like OpenAI Realtime API) and fully controllable STT→LLM→TTS pipelines. Key focus areas include minimizing end-to-end latency (targeting <800ms), handling conversational nuances, background noise, and managing interruptions for applications like customer support, IVR, and live translation.

This guide provides comprehensive techniques for optimizing ElevenLabs Text-to-Speech (TTS) performance. Learn how to reduce latency and maximize throughput by strategically selecting models (e.g., Flash vs. v3), implementing streaming endpoints (HTTP or WebSocket), and choosing optimal audio formats. It is essential for real-time conversational AI, IVR systems, and high-volume content generation.

This system creates and registers high-quality, reusable synthetic voices (voice clones) from local audio samples. It operates under a strict, consent-first workflow, requiring explicit speaker consent, detailed use permissions, and source verification before cloning. It is designed for professional Text-to-Speech (TTS) applications, IVR systems, or training content development where a consistent, branded voice is essential.

A comprehensive voiceover studio that transforms written text into high-quality, professional spoken audio. It supports generating content for podcasts, IVR prompts, educational videos, and product demos. The system handles complex requirements including target locale, specific accents (e.g., British, Mandarin), desired emotion, and pacing, ensuring the resulting audio artifact is natural and contextually accurate. Ideal for content creators and developers needing reliable, multi-lingual narration.
