Full-duplex voice interaction requires more than utterance-level conversion. It must process streaming speech, manage turn-taking and interruptions, while preserving pretrained linguistic competence and acoustic paralinguistic cues. We ask whether TASTE (Text-Aligned Speech Tokenization and Embedding) provides a viable...
