When boto3 doesn't have it (yet), you write it: a realtime speech-to-speech story in Python

Alessandra Bilardi
At a meetup's networking session, someone dropped: "the new speech-to-speech feature in Teams is really cool". Microsoft Teams added the interpreter agent with realtime AI-powered speech-to-speech translation during calls. So the natural question: how complicated is building one with AWS ? And what performance does it deliver ? Meanwhile, for PyCon IT 2026, with an inclusivity goal, the plan was already to use bilardi/realtime-transcription with a monitor in the room showing the talk transcript.
