You’ve probably had this experience: a voice assistant understands your friend perfectly, but struggles with your accent, or with your parents’ way of speaking. Same language. Same request. Very different results. That gap is exactly where sociophonetics lives — and why it suddenly matters so much for AI. Sociophonetics looks at how social factors and

In this tutorial, we build an end-to-end streaming voice agent that mirrors how modern low-latency conversational systems operate in real time. We simulate the complete pipeline, from chunked audio input and streaming speech recognition to incremental language model reasoning and streamed text-to-speech output, while explicitly tracking latency at every stage. By working with strict latency
