## Description

RealtimeVoiceChat is a conversational AI gateway and voice chat interface that enables real-time spoken interactions with large language models. It functions as a streaming audio pipeline that integrates speech-to-text transcription and text-to-speech synthesis to facilitate natural voice conversations.

The system utilizes WebSocket-based audio streaming and an asynchronous text-to-speech pipeline to maintain low latency. It includes specialized conversational controls such as silence-based turn detection and client-side interrupt handling, which stops active audio playback when new user speech is detected.

The project covers broad capability areas including live speech transcription, AI response generation via external language model backends, and secure data transmission using SSL server encryption and certificate-based transport security.
