Overview

Description

AsrConversationalConfig is a Pydantic model that defines the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) configuration for a conversational AI agent in the ElevenLabs platform. It controls how user speech input is transcribed, including the transcription quality level, ASR provider selection, audio input format, and keyword boosting for improved recognition accuracy.

This model is auto-generated by Fern from the ElevenLabs API definition and inherits from UncheckedBaseModel. It is the input-side counterpart to TTS configuration, handling the speech-to-text pipeline of conversational interactions.

Usage

AsrConversationalConfig is used within the conversational configuration of an agent to define how the agent processes incoming user audio. It allows developers to choose ASR providers, set quality levels, specify input audio formats, and provide keyword hints to improve transcription accuracy for domain-specific terminology.
