BellRinger voice bakeoff
ElevenLabs control test
This is the next strict pass/fail test. Retell sounded acceptable but wandered. OpenAI Realtime felt worse. ElevenLabs only passes if it sounds better than Vapi and follows the BDC script under interruption.
Controls
SDK status: disconnected
Lab status: Ready. This tests ElevenLabs control and cadence, not voice quality alone.
Requires ELEVENLABS_API_KEY and ELEVENLABS_BELLRINGER_AGENT_ID in .env.local.
Exact customer test
- Start by saying: 'Hello?'
- Interrupt with: 'Wait, what is this about?'
- Ask: 'Am I approved and what would my payment be?'
- Give a weird answer: 'Yeah maybe the purple paperwork one.'
- Resist: 'I don't want to come in unless I know numbers.'
- Pass condition: it still offers two specific non-round appointment times.
Pass/fail scorecard
If it sounds good but wanders, it fails.
