Hello! It sounds like you're experiencing an issue where VAPI starts speaking before the API call is complete, resulting in an interruption of the speech output. To address this, you can consider implementing a mechanism to control when VAPI starts speaking. Here are a couple of approaches you could take:
1. **Pause VAPI's speech**: If VAPI has a method to pause or stop speaking, you can call this method before making the API call and then resume or start a new speech output once the API call is complete with the desired sentence.
2. **Queue Management**: Implement a queue system where you enqueue sentences to be spoken. VAPI only speaks when a sentence is dequeued, which happens only after your API call is complete and the sentence is ready.
3. **Event Handling**: Use event handlers to better manage when VAPI starts speaking. For example, you can have an event that triggers VAPI to speak only after the API call has successfully returned the sentence.
If VAPI has a specific function to pause or prevent speech, you can call that function. Otherwise, you may need to implement custom logic to manage the timing of speech output.
If you need more specific guidance or if there's a particular function you'd like to call, please provide more details or the function name, and I'll be happy to assist you further!
