A comprehensive guide for diagnosing and fixing common Deepgram API errors. Covers HTTP error codes, WebSocket issues, optimal audio preparation using ffmpeg, and implementing robust retry patterns for reliable Speech-to-Text integration.

This guide demonstrates how to implement robust, real-time, low-latency streaming transcription using Deepgram's WebSocket API. It covers advanced audio handling, including microphone input capture (via Sox), speaker diarization, utterance boundary detection, and implementing automatic reconnection logic. Essential for building professional voice AI applications, live captioning services, or voice interfaces.

Implements best practices for secure audio transcription using Deepgram. This guide covers PII redaction (built-in and custom patterns), secure audio upload to S3 with encryption, managing data retention policies, and ensuring compliance with major regulations like GDPR and HIPAA. It provides a comprehensive pipeline for handling sensitive audio data in enterprise applications.

Provides comprehensive instructions for deploying Deepgram transcription services into various production environments. This guide covers building production-ready Docker images, configuring Docker Compose, setting up robust Kubernetes manifests (including HPA and secrets), and implementing serverless handlers for platforms like AWS Lambda. Essential for scaling Deepgram services reliably and securely in the cloud.

This guide provides minimal working examples for Deepgram speech-to-text transcription. It demonstrates how to transcribe audio from a URL or a local file using both TypeScript and Python. Users can learn basic API patterns, implement advanced features like diarization (speaker identification), and compare various model options (e.g., nova-3, nova-2). Ideal for initial integration and testing.

A comprehensive runbook for standardizing incident response to Deepgram production issues. It guides users through automated triage (checking status, API connectivity, and model performance), severity classification (SEV1-SEV4), and implementing mitigation strategies, including building fallback services and replaying failed requests to ensure business continuity during outages or degradation.

A comprehensive guide for installing and configuring the Deepgram SDK for both Node.js and Python environments. This skill covers best practices for secure API key management using environment variables, client initialization (including version differences), and connection verification. Use this when integrating Deepgram's advanced speech-to-text and text-to-speech capabilities into a new application.

This guide establishes a robust local development environment for Deepgram integrations. It covers setting up test fixtures using sample audio, mocking API responses for isolated unit testing, configuring watch-mode development servers, and running comprehensive unit and integration tests using Vitest. Use this setup when initiating a Deepgram feature or requiring a reliable, fast development cycle.

This guide offers a comprehensive deep dive into migrating existing voice transcription workflows from multiple major providers, including AWS Transcribe, Google Cloud STT, OpenAI Whisper, and others, to Deepgram. It details feature mapping, best practices, and implements an adapter pattern, enabling seamless, reliable, and validated service switching.

This guide provides advanced techniques to optimize Deepgram API performance. Learn how to preprocess audio using ffmpeg (resampling, noise reduction), select optimal transcription models (speed vs. accuracy), and implement efficient streaming or parallel batch processing to achieve high throughput and low latency.

A comprehensive checklist and guide for deploying Deepgram integrations into a production environment. It covers critical areas including robust authentication practices, system resilience design (e.g., backoff strategies, circuit breakers), performance optimization (singleton clients, audio preprocessing), security measures (PII redaction), and mandatory monitoring setup (Prometheus metrics and alert rules). Essential for any go-live phase.

Provides production-ready coding patterns for integrating Deepgram using TypeScript and Python. This guide covers essential best practices, including implementing singleton client management, performing text-to-speech synthesis with Aura, and setting up advanced audio intelligence pipelines (e.g., summarization, topic detection, sentiment analysis). Use this when establishing robust Deepgram integration standards, refactoring existing SDK usage, or migrating to newer SDK versions.
