Congrats on the launch! Just got the demo React app up and running, very cool. I've wanted to interact with an LLM via real time speech for a while now, this will be perfect.

Important feedback on the live demo page: Make the default output sampling rate a normal talking speed. Right now it defaults to the highest rate if you don't set it / know which rate is best. First thing I did on the page was click the mic. The voice was too fast, and since the active mic disables the settings, I thought I couldn't change them so it might be broken. Also you want to make it clear that you can change the settings by turning off the mic. That took me a while to figure out.

Again, well done!

thanks!! Sampling rate actually shouldn't affect talking speed - you can adjust the voice speed with this parameter[0] :)

To clarify, here's the demo URL I'm referring to: https://demo.vocode.dev/

You're right sampling rate doesn't change speed, whoops. But on that page you have to change / set the "Set Output Sampling Rate" to slow down the default voice speed.

Ah, got it — that demo is a bit old and definitely has some bugs, my bad!
