Live transcription by Deepgram in Next.js

Live Audio Next.js Starter

This sample demonstrates interacting with Deepgram from Next.js to transcribe your microphone audio. It uses the Deepgram JavaScript SDK. This was originally a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Demo features

• Persistent connection to Deepgram
  • This demo will automatically reconnect in the event the websocket disconnects.
• Microphone audio buffer
  • The microphone audio is buffered and instantly sent to Deepgram. In the event the socket disconnects, the audio continues to buffer and then catches up once the connection is re-established.
• Uses temporary API keys
  • This demo mints it's own temporary short-lived (a few seconds), limited scope API keys in a server route, to protect your main API key.
• Browser-side transcription
  • The connection to Deepgram is established directly from the client, and does not use a server-side component to transcribe the audio.
