# Interruptions

*This page covers how Sayvy AI detects user speech, manages natural turn-taking, and handles conversational interruptions.*

***

## Voice Activity Detection (VAD) Tuning

*Content coming soon.*

* Silero VAD calibration and threshold parameters
* Detection windows (`min_speech_duration_ms`, `min_silence_duration_ms`)
* Mitigating false triggers from breathing and background noise

***

## Barge-In Interrupt Protocol

*Content coming soon.*

* Emitting cancellation tokens on active turns
* WebRTC Data Channel fast-kill packets
* Instant client-side audio buffer flushing

***

## Conversational Fillers & Natural Turn Management

*Content coming soon.*

* Distinguishing passive backchannel affirmations ("mhm", "yeah") from true barge-ins
* Dynamic pause thresholding based on sentence completion heuristics
