Voice Activity Detection (VAD)

What is VAD?

Voice Activity Detection (VAD) is the process of determining whether a segment of audio contains speech or not.

What is an example of VAD?

A conferencing app uses VAD to detect when someone starts talking, automatically unmuting their audio.

How does VAD work?

It uses energy thresholds, spectral features, or AI models to distinguish speech segments from silence or noise.

How does ai-coustics use VAD?

At ai-coustics, we integrate VAD to improve enhancement pipelines, trigger processing efficiently, and support real-time turn-taking.
