v2.0.2 — Smarter Listening, Better Testing

Rapida now hears better and knows when to stop listening. This release introduces pluggable Voice Activity Detection and End-of-Speech engines, a comprehensive provider test suite, and key infrastructure upgrades.

Highlights

Pluggable VAD & End-of-Speech — Your agent now has ears that actually know when you're done talking.

Engine Type How it works
LiveKit EOS End-of-Speech ONNX-based turn detection with chat-aware inference
Pipecat EOS End-of-Speech Mel-spectrogram analysis for precise speech boundary detection
Silence-based EOS End-of-Speech Configurable silence threshold fallback
TEN VAD Voice Activity Lightweight real-time voice activity detection
FireRed VAD Voice Activity ONNX-based VAD with fbank feature extraction

All models are bundled and downloaded at build time — zero runtime fetching.

Audio Heartbeat — A new keepalive mechanism prevents premature end-of-speech triggers during natural pauses, making conversations feel more human.
