What is Endpointing?
2 min read · Bolcho
Detecting the exact moment a caller stops speaking, so the agent can respond promptly without cutting them off.
Endpointing explained
Endpointing is the low-level signal behind turn detection: it marks the end of an utterance. Too aggressive and the agent jumps in early; too lax and every reply feels delayed.
Adaptive endpointing balances the two and is a major lever for reducing perceived latency.
Why it matters for voice AI in India
Understanding endpointing helps you build voice agents that actually work for Indian callers, genuine languages, low latency, and near-cost pricing. Bolcho is built around exactly these fundamentals.
