Speech to Text now accepts a vad_threshold parameter available as a streaming query param and batch multipart field. This allows tuning of the voice-activity gate that skips non-speech audio, with lower values enabling transcription of quieter or noisier speech useful for narrowband telephony. Setting the value to 0 disables the gate entirely.
