Server events

These are events emitted from the OpenAI Realtime WebSocket server to the client.

error

Returned when an error occurs, which could be a client problem or a server problem. Most errors are recoverable and the session will stay open, we recommend to implementors to monitor and log error messages by default.

Details of the error.

conversation.item.added

Sent by the server when an Item is added to the default Conversation. This can happen in several cases:

  • When the client sends a conversation.item.create event.
  • When the input audio buffer is committed. In this case the item will be a user message containing the audio from the buffer.
  • When the model is generating a Response. In this case the conversation.item.added event will be sent when the model starts generating a specific Item, and thus it will not yet have any content (and status will be in_progress).

The event will include the full content of the Item (except when model is generating a Response) except for audio data, which can be retrieved separately with a conversation.item.retrieve event if necessary.

The unique ID of the server event.

A single item within a Realtime conversation.

The ID of the item that precedes this one, if any. This is used to maintain ordering when items are inserted.

conversation.item.input_audio_transcription.completed

This event is the output of audio transcription for user audio written to the user audio buffer. Transcription begins when the input audio buffer is committed by the client or server (when VAD is enabled). Transcription runs asynchronously with Response creation, so this event may come before or after the Response events.

Realtime API models accept audio natively, and thus input transcription is a separate process run on a separate ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) model. The transcript may diverge somewhat from the model's interpretation, and should be treated as a rough guide.

The index of the content part containing the audio.

The unique ID of the server event.

The ID of the item containing the audio that is being transcribed.

The log probabilities of the transcription.

The transcribed text.

The event type, must be conversation.item.input_audio_transcription.completed.

Usage statistics for the transcription, this is billed according to the ASR model's pricing rather than the realtime model's pricing.

Returned when the text value of an input audio transcription content part is updated with incremental transcription results.

The index of the content part in the item's content array.

The text delta.

The unique ID of the server event.

The ID of the item containing the audio that is being transcribed.

The log probabilities of the transcription. These can be enabled by configurating the session with "include": ["item.input_audio_transcription.logprobs"]. Each entry in the array corresponds a log probability of which token would be selected for this chunk of transcription. This can help to identify if it was possible there were multiple valid options for a given chunk of transcription.

conversation.item.truncated

Returned when an earlier assistant audio message item is truncated by the client with a conversation.item.truncate event. This event is used to synchronize the server's understanding of the audio with the client's playback.

Returned when an input audio buffer is committed, either by the client or automatically in server VAD mode. The item_id property is the ID of the user message item that will be created, thus a conversation.item.created event will also be sent to the client.

The unique ID of the server event.

The ID of the user message item that will be created.

input_audio_buffer.dtmf_event_received

SIP Only: Returned when an DTMF event is received. A DTMF event is a message that represents a telephone keypad press (0–9, *, #, A–D). The event property is the keypad that the user press. The received_at is the UTC Unix Timestamp that the server received the event.

The telephone keypad that was pressed by the user.

input_audio_buffer.speech_started

Sent by the server when in server_vad mode to indicate that speech has been detected in the audio buffer. This can happen any time audio is added to the buffer (unless speech is already detected). The client may want to use this event to interrupt audio playback or provide visual feedback to the user.

The client should expect to receive a input_audio_buffer.speech_stopped event when speech stops. The item_id property is the ID of the user message item that will be created when speech stops and will also be included in the input_audio_buffer.speech_stopped event (unless the client manually commits the audio buffer during VAD activation).

Milliseconds from the start of all audio written to the buffer during the session when speech was first detected. This will correspond to the beginning of audio sent to the model, and thus includes the prefix_padding_ms configured in the Session.

The unique ID of the server event.

The ID of the user message item that will be created when speech stops.

The event type, must be input_audio_buffer.speech_started.

input_audio_buffer.speech_stopped

Returned in server_vad mode when the server detects the end of speech in the audio buffer. The server will also send an conversation.item.created event with the user message item that is created from the audio buffer.

Milliseconds since the session started when speech stopped. This will correspond to the end of audio sent to the model, and thus includes the min_silence_duration_ms configured in the Session.

}

input_audio_buffer.timeout_triggered

Returned when the Server VAD timeout is triggered for the input audio buffer. This is configured with idle_timeout_ms in the turn_detection settings of the session, and it indicates that there hasn't been any speech detected for the configured duration.

The audio_start_ms and audio_end_ms fields indicate the segment of audio after the last model response up to the triggering time, as an offset from the beginning of audio written to the input audio buffer. This means it demarcates the segment of audio that was silent and the difference between the start and end values will roughly match the configured timeout.

The empty audio will be committed to the conversation as an input_audio item (there will be a input_audio_buffer.committed event) and a model response will be generated. There may be speech that didn't trigger VAD but is still detected by the model, so the model may respond with something relevant to the conversation or a prompt to continue speaking.

Millisecond offset of audio written to the input audio buffer at the time the timeout was triggered.

Millisecond offset of audio written to the input audio buffer that was after the playback time of the last model response.

The unique ID of the server event.
