Recent advances in speech large language models (e.g., GPT-4o) have enabled end-to-end spoken interactions, yet their robustness in real-world applications remains unclear, where systems must assist users in completing specific tasks under complex conditions such as multi-turn, ambiguous, and often spontaneous speech, as well as natural alternation between speech and text. Task-oriented dialogue (TOD) offers a realistic scenario to evaluate whether models can effectively help users accomplish such task-oriented goals, but existing benchmarks are mainly text-based, and the few speech datasets are limited to English and often neglect spontaneous disfluencies and speaker diversity. To address this gap, we introduce RealTalk-CN, the first Chinese multi-turn, multi-domain speech–text TOD dataset, containing 5.4k dialogues (60K turns, ~150 hours) of real human-to-human recordings with detailed annotations for dialogue states, disfluency types, and speaker characteristics. Based on this dataset, we propose a cross-modal interaction task supporting dynamic speech-text switching and a comprehensive evaluation protocol assessing robustness to disfluencies, sensitivity to speaker variation, and cross-domain generalization. Experiments on state-of-the-art models demonstrate the challenges posed by RealTalk-CN and establish its value as a benchmark for developing reliable and fair Speech LLMs in real-world deployments. The dataset and evaluation framework are available to encourage further research.
