Open-Source EOU Model Covers English + 8 Indic Languages, Stops Voice Agents Cutting Callers Off
martian7r · reddit · 2026-11-08
A developer released an Apache-2.0 end-of-turn detector fine-tuned from Qwen2.5-0.5B, solving why Indic-language voice agents interrupt callers (verb-final syntax makes mid-sentence pauses sound finished to VAD). It scores live transcripts across English, Hinglish, and 7 Indic languages, runs CPU-only on ONNX Runtime (2GB) fully locally, and drops into LiveKit Agents. Metrics: 91.3% TPR at 10% false cuts (AUC 0.967) on validation, 85.3% on LiveKit's real-speech Hindi harness. Model on Hugging Face: tarun7r/indic-turn-detector.
