Three Voice Agent Architectures Compared: Latency, Control, Accuracy
Voice agents follow a hear-think-speak loop, but architecture choices affect latency, control, and accuracy. The chained STT→LLM→TTS pipeline offers granular control but complex integration. Single speech-to-speech models simplify but sacrifice transparency and precision for conversational fluency.

The piece rightly emphasizes that input accuracy is the ceiling on agent intelligence, a point often lost in the rush to deploy voice interfaces.
