Summary
According to a post on X by @soniox_ai, Soniox released STT v6, which it describes as the first speech recognition model that knows what a voice agent is saying. Developers send the agent's text alongside the audio, so the model can better understand the user's reply and ignore the agent's voice if the microphone picks it up. The post credits @svpino with explaining how this works. The snippet is cut off, so the source does not give further details.

What happened
Soniox released STT v6, which it calls the first speech recognition model that knows what a voice agent is saying.

Why it matters
If the approach works as described, voice agents that mishear themselves or interrupt users could improve, which matters to developers building voice products. The source's own note on this point is cut off, so the size of any gain is not stated. Teams building voice agents may want to watch for independent tests of the model.
