What is Voice Activity Detection (VAD)?

Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is a technique used in speech processing in which the presence or absence of human speech is detected. In Voice AI, high-performance VAD is critical to ensure the AI knows exactly when to listen and when to respond without awkward silences.
