Key Concepts

Audio Requirements

• Sample Rate: 24kHz (24000 Hz)
• Bit Depth: 16-bit PCM
• Channels: Mono (1 channel)
• Format: Signed PCM, little-endian

Core Workflow

1. Start Session

import reactor.core.publisher.Mono;

client.startSession("gpt-4o-realtime-preview")
    .flatMap(session -> {
        System.out.println("Session started");

        // Subscribe to events
        session.receiveEvents()
            .subscribe(
                event -> System.out.println("Event: " + event.getType()),
                error -> System.err.println("Error: " + error.getMessage())
            );

        return Mono.just(session);
    })
    .block();

2. Configure Session Options

import com.azure.ai.voicelive.models.*;
import java.util.Arrays;

ServerVadTurnDetection turnDetection = new ServerVadTurnDetection()
    .setThreshold(0.5)                    // Sensitivity (0.0-1.0)
    .setPrefixPaddingMs(300)              // Audio before speech
    .setSilenceDurationMs(500)            // Silence to end turn
    .setInterruptResponse(true)           // Allow interruptions
    .setAutoTruncate(true)
    .setCreateResponse(true);

AudioInputTranscriptionOptions transcription = new AudioInputTranscriptionOptions(
    AudioInputTranscriptionOptionsModel.WHISPER_1);

VoiceLiveSessionOptions options = new VoiceLiveSessionOptions()
    .setInstructions("You are a helpful AI voice assistant.")
    .setVoice(BinaryData.fromObject(new OpenAIVoice(OpenAIVoiceName.ALLOY)))
    .setModalities(Arrays.asList(InteractionModality.TEXT, InteractionModality.AUDIO))
    .setInputAudioFormat(InputAudioFormat.PCM16)
    .setOutputAudioFormat(OutputAudioFormat.PCM16)
    .setInputAudioSamplingRate(24000)
    .setInputAudioNoiseReduction(new AudioNoiseReduction(AudioNoiseReductionType.NEAR_FIELD))
    .setInputAudioEchoCancellation(new AudioEchoCancellation())
    .setInputAudioTranscription(transcription)
    .setTurnDetection(turnDetection);

// Send configuration
ClientEventSessionUpdate updateEvent = new ClientEventSessionUpdate(options);
session.sendEvent(updateEvent).subscribe();

3. Send Audio Input

byte[] audioData = readAudioChunk(); // Your PCM16 audio data
session.sendInputAudio(BinaryData.fromBytes(audioData)).subscribe();

4. Handle Events

session.receiveEvents().subscribe(event -> {
    ServerEventType eventType = event.getType();

    if (ServerEventType.SESSION_CREATED.equals(eventType)) {
        System.out.println("Session created");
    } else if (ServerEventType.INPUT_AUDIO_BUFFER_SPEECH_STARTED.equals(eventType)) {
        System.out.println("User started speaking");
    } else if (ServerEventType.INPUT_AUDIO_BUFFER_SPEECH_STOPPED.equals(eventType)) {
        System.out.println("User stopped speaking");
    } else if (ServerEventType.RESPONSE_AUDIO_DELTA.equals(eventType)) {
        if (event instanceof SessionUpdateResponseAudioDelta) {
            SessionUpdateResponseAudioDelta audioEvent = (SessionUpdateResponseAudioDelta) event;
            playAudioChunk(audioEvent.getDelta());
        }
    } else if (ServerEventType.RESPONSE_DONE.equals(eventType)) {
        System.out.println("Response complete");
    } else if (ServerEventType.ERROR.equals(eventType)) {
        if (event instanceof SessionUpdateError) {
            SessionUpdateError errorEvent = (SessionUpdateError) event;
            System.err.println("Error: " + errorEvent.getError().getMessage());
        }
    }
});

Voice Configuration

OpenAI Voices

// Available: ALLOY, ASH, BALLAD, CORAL, ECHO, SAGE, SHIMMER, VERSE
VoiceLiveSessionOptions options = new VoiceLiveSessionOptions()
    .setVoice(BinaryData.fromObject(new OpenAIVoice(OpenAIVoiceName.ALLOY)));

Azure Voices

// Azure Standard Voice
options.setVoice(BinaryData.fromObject(new AzureStandardVoice("en-US-JennyNeural")));

// Azure Custom Voice
options.setVoice(BinaryData.fromObject(new AzureCustomVoice("myVoice", "endpointId")));

// Azure Personal Voice
options.setVoice(BinaryData.fromObject(
    new AzurePersonalVoice("speakerProfileId", PersonalVoiceModels.PHOENIX_LATEST_NEURAL)));

Function Calling

VoiceLiveFunctionDefinition weatherFunction = new VoiceLiveFunctionDefinition("get_weather")
    .setDescription("Get current weather for a location")
    .setParameters(BinaryData.fromObject(parametersSchema));

VoiceLiveSessionOptions options = new VoiceLiveSessionOptions()
    .setTools(Arrays.asList(weatherFunction))
    .setInstructions("You have access to weather information.");

Best Practices

1. Use async client — VoiceLive requires reactive patterns
2. Configure turn detection for natural conversation flow
3. Enable noise reduction for better speech recognition
4. Handle interruptions gracefully with setInterruptResponse(true)
5. Use Whisper transcription for input audio transcription
6. Close sessions properly when conversation ends

Error Handling

session.receiveEvents()
    .doOnError(error -> System.err.println("Connection error: " + error.getMessage()))
    .onErrorResume(error -> {
        // Attempt reconnection or cleanup
        return Flux.empty();
    })
    .subscribe();
