Yes, weird that they didn't use that term for this project.

I've talked about this a lot with friends.

Endpoint detection (and phrase endpointing, and end of utterance) are terms from the academic literature about this, and related, problems.

Very few people who are doing "AI Engineering" or even "Machine Learning" today know these terms. In the past, I argued that we should use the existing academic language rather than invent new terms.

But then OpenAI released the Realtime API and called this "turn detection" in their docs. And that was that. It no longer made sense to use any other verbiage.

Re SEO, I note "utterance" only occurs once, in a perhaps-ephemeral "Things to do" description.

To help with "what is?" and SEO, perhaps something like "Turn detection (aka [...], end of utterance)"... ?

Thank for the explanation. I guess it makes some sense, considering many people with no nlp background are using those models now…
