@Jason To help prevent awkward interruptions and pauses during voice interactions, you can adjust the following settings: 1. **Number of Words to Interrupt Assistant (numWordsToInterruptAssistant)**: You can set the number of words the user must speak before the assistant considers interrupting. If you find that the assistant is interrupting too soon, you can increase this number. Conversely, if the assistant is not interrupting when it should, you can decrease this number. 2. **Maximum Duration in Seconds (maxDurationSeconds)**: This setting determines the maximum length of time the assistant will listen before processing the user's speech. If you notice that the assistant waits too long before responding, you can reduce this duration. If it cuts off users who speak more slowly, you can increase it. Would you like to modify any of these settings? If so, please provide the new values you'd like to set, and I can assist you with that.

@Vapi Where would I change these settings
v
@Jason To change these settings, you would typically access the configuration panel or settings page of your voice application or API dashboard. The exact location can vary depending on the platform or service you are using for your voice interactions. If you're working with a specific Voice API or platform, you would look for settings related to speech recognition, voice interaction, or user experience. These settings might be found under sections like "Interaction Settings," "Speech Recognition," or "Advanced Settings." If you need assistance with a specific Voice API or platform, please provide me with the name or details, and I can give you more precise instructions. If you're referring to VAPI, please let me know, and I can guide you through the process or make the changes for you if you provide the new values.
