Learn what makes a voice agent feel human: VAD detects when someone is speaking; turn detection decides when they have finished (a pause is not always the end — 'my number is… 98…'); barge-in lets the caller interrupt the agent, which must stop talking immediately; backchannels and filler ('okay, let me check') hide waiting time. Bad turn-taking is the number-one reason callers dislike voice bots.
