Clarification on project status and roadmap for the Realtime API beta #117

Description

@fioreagui

Hello,

We’ve been integrating the Realtime API beta library into our company’s projects, experimenting with a browser-based voice chat client (following the provided guides) and using an intermediate server between the frontend and OpenAI to handle our business logic.

While testing and adapting the beta library, we’ve encountered some challenges:

  • Documentation inconsistencies – Some event names and behaviors described in the guides do not match the current implementation.

  • Lack of custom event support from the frontend – This makes it difficult to implement features like chat identification or advanced error handling.

  • Mismatch between text and audio output – We have noticed discrepancies between the transcribed text and the generated audio.

Our main concern is that repository activity seems to have slowed significantly, and we’re unsure about the current plans for this project.

Could you clarify:

  1. Is there an official release planned for the Realtime API library, or is the beta expected to remain in its current state for the foreseeable future?

  2. Will there be continued maintenance and issue resolution for the beta version?

We appreciate the work that’s gone into this project and are eager to understand its roadmap so we can plan our integration accordingly.

Thank you.
