Voice agents can't tell who's talking — a real deployment blocker
Div_pradeep · x · 2026-09-24
Div Pradeep highlights a key weakness of voice agents: speech-to-text handles noisy podcasts fine, but when someone walks into the room mid-sentence, the agent can't tell who it should listen to. The coworker's words get transcribed and mixed in, so the agent replies to something the user never asked. Speaker diarization is a real blocker for voice agent deployments.
