Detects when a speaker has finished talking and when someone is cutting in, using audio alone on a CPU in real time. It suits builders of voice agents and call tools. turn-1-mini is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by p99lab ## About ### What it is turn-1-mini is a 5.4M-parameter model for conversation timing. It listens to audio and works out when a speaker has finished a turn and when another person is breaking in. It streams, uses audio only with no transcript, and keeps up in real time on a CPU. Version 2 adds support for several speakers. ### Who it suits It suits developers who build voice agents, meeting tools or call software that must decide when to speak and when to wait. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Voice AI | Voice agent developers | Decide when the agent may take its turn | Letting an agent reply once the caller stops | | Meetings | Meeting tool builders | Track who holds the floor across several channels | Following four headset channels in a meeting | | Call software | Contact center engineers | Spot interruptions and cut-offs in calls | Flagging when a speaker is being talked over | | Research | Dialogue researchers | Compare turn-taking models on public benchmarks | Reading its scores against a published system | People who need a transcript or word-level timing can skip it, since it works from audio signals only. ### Where to use it - Python with PyTorch on a CPU, on Windows, macOS or Linux - ONNX streaming graphs, which the repository also holds for version 1 - Voice agents that receive each speaker's channel - Call and meeting pipelines | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | End-of-turn detection | Voice agent developers | A decision that a speaker's turn is over | | Interruption detection | Call software teams | A probability that a speaker is taking the floor | | Speech activity per channel | Meeting tool builders | Voice activity and floor-claim signals for each channel | ### How to set it up - Python on your computer - PyTorch, since version 2 runs with PyTorch on a CPU - The p99turn package, which loads the model - About 21 MB for the version 2 weights file 1. Install the Hugging Face hub package. 2. Download the model files. 3. Install the p99turn package with its torch extra, as the model card shows. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub ``` ```sh hf download p99lab/turn-1-mini ``` ### How to use it Feed the model audio from one or more speaker channels. With several channels, the model treats a turn as finished once that speaker is silent and another person starts claiming the floor. You can also pass the other channels, or your agent's own playback, as an optional REST input. Without it the model runs single-channel. The card's quick start holds the decision rules, which are not in the text provided here. | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | EOT output | Decides that a speaker's turn has ended | | INT output | Gives the chance that this speaker is taking the floor, rather than saying yeah or laughing | | REST input | Optional audio of the other channels or your agent's playback | | Turn1Mini and Turn1MiniOnnx | Load the version 1 files as before | ### Example Four people sit in a meeting, each on their own headset channel. You run all four channels through the model together. It marks when each person holds the floor, when their turn ends and when someone cuts in. ### For newcomers and experts Voice assistants often cut people off or wait too long. This model gives a quick signal for when a person is done speaking. A first small step is to download the files and read the quick start in the full card. On the multi-party benchmark, the card reports 92.2 percent recall with 3.8 percent false alarms and a median delay of 210 ms. It also says it does not beat the VAP system on latency, and that its interruption output is not a strength on that benchmark. Audio from each speaker's channel → Model scores speech and floor claims → Optional REST input from other channels → End-of-turn and interruption decisions ### Good to know - License: Apache 2.0. - Cost to run: none named. It runs on a CPU in real time, per the card. - Data it reaches: it downloads files from the Hugging Face Hub, then processes the audio you give it. - Not for: transcription. It works from audio only and produces no transcript. - Version 1 files stay in the repository, unchanged. End-of-turn results on the multi-party test, v1 against v2 | Label | Value | | --- | --- | | v1 recall | 86.9 percent | | v2 recall | 92.2 percent | | v1 false alarms | 25.3 percent | | v2 false alarms | 3.8 percent | ## README ````markdown # turn-1-mini Detects when a speaker has finished talking and when someone is cutting in, using audio alone on a CPU in real time.
