Audio Input Filtering

Hello, I have an audio question. When I download the raw audio, is it filtered in any way? I am using the Vapi agent on browsers. I am looking for raw unfiltered unprocessed audio input.

All audio streamed through the Vapi agent (including in browsers) is processed in real-time by Vapi's orchestration layer, which applies background noise and voice filtering before any recordings are made. This means that the "raw audio" you download is not the original, unfiltered input—it has already been filtered for noise and other artifacts. There is currently no option to download truly unprocessed audio from Vapi's browser agent.

The recordings provided by Vapi are not raw microphone audio. The audio is processed before it reaches both the recorder and the transcriber. During web calls, noise cancellation is applied on the client side, and additional processing may occur in the pipeline, such as background noise filtering, background voice filtering, endpointing detection, and interruption detection. Because of this, the recordings reflect the processed audio stream, not the exact raw microphone input.
