Discussion: Web Speech API and Emotional UX

Why Latency is the Silent Killer in AI Counseling Apps. When building MindCare AI, we realized that for a mental health context, any delay in voice response breaks the 'human' connection. We shifted from traditional request-response cycles to a more streamed approach using the Web Speech API. Dealing with sensitive conversations also meant prioritizing privacy-first data handling. If you're building in the 'AI for Good' space, focusing on voice UX can drastically change how users bond with the agent. I'd love to hear how others are handling real-time emotional nuances in AI speech!
