ReferenceVoice.updateConfig()RT

voice.updateConfig()

The updateConfig() method allows you to update the configuration of a voice provider at runtime. This is useful for changing voice settings, API keys, or other provider-specific options without creating a new instance.

Usage Example

import { OpenAIRealtimeVoice } from "@mastra/voice-openai-realtime";
 
// Initialize a real-time voice provider
const voice = new OpenAIRealtimeVoice({
  realtimeConfig: {
    model: "gpt-4o-mini-realtime",
    apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
  },
  speaker: "alloy",
});
 
// Connect to the real-time service
await voice.connect();
 
// Later, update the configuration
voice.updateConfig({
  voice: "nova", // Change the default voice
  turn_detection: {
    type: "server_vad",
    threshold: 0.5,
    silence_duration_ms: 1000
  }
});
 
// The next speak() call will use the new configuration
await voice.speak("Hello with my new voice!");

Parameters


options:

Record<string, unknown>
Configuration options to update. The specific properties depend on the voice provider.

Return Value

This method does not return a value.

Configuration Options

Different voice providers support different configuration options:

OpenAI Realtime


voice?:

string
Voice ID to use for speech synthesis (e.g., 'alloy', 'echo', 'nova')

turn_detection?:

{ type: string, threshold?: number, silence_duration_ms?: number }
Configuration for detecting when a user has finished speaking

Notes

  • The default implementation logs a warning if the provider doesn’t support this method
  • Configuration updates are typically applied to subsequent operations, not ongoing ones
  • Not all properties that can be set in the constructor can be updated at runtime
  • The specific behavior depends on the voice provider implementation
  • For real-time voice providers, some configuration changes may require reconnecting to the service
