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.
