when i am connect with socket via node sdk this i am getting into transriptionReceived event
i am sending binary data to deepgram

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 11:50 AM

#

Are you worried about "transaction_key": "deprecated" ?

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 11:51 AM

#

but it should return me transcript right?

this is what i get

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 11:51 AM

#

if you're using a websocket, you'll get further events with transcription data

#

that is just the metadata event

Are you using Safari?

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 11:52 AM

#

no i am using chrome

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 11:53 AM

#

hmmmm that's interesting

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 11:53 AM

#

can you please check above code of your repo it seems like i miss something

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 11:54 AM

#

"alternatives" is part of our response, so you are getting something but the format is malformed

#

could you run npm i @deepgram/sdk to install the latest SDK version

#

this may break it more

#

hopefully it fixes it though 🤞

still facing same issue brother

#

"@lyric flicker/sdk": "^2.3.0",

#

what will be the socket version?

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 12:02 PM

#

the metadata will never change

#

the error that follows it is the problem

#

I've asked if someone on my team can look at it once they're online

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 12:04 PM

#

yes absolutely thanks i am waiting for your response

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 12:04 PM

❤️ thanks for your patience

@unborn bear any update?

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 12:24 PM

#

My team are in the US, they're still in bed 😬

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 12:32 PM

ohh my bad

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

@unborn bear any update?

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 4:38 PM

Someone has been able to reproduce it and are looking into it

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:40 PM

#

ohh awesome good to here

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:40 PM

yes, I have that cloned on my machine

#

trying to run it

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:42 PM

#

nice

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:42 PM

#

#

what do you get when you try to log the deepgram result??

#

Also, just to confirm. Do you happen to have anything running on the 3000 port?

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:44 PM

#

no

#

i am getting this #1133356392108011621 message

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:44 PM

#

#

interesting

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

did you change any thing?

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

so you are not getting any alternatives?

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

yes

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

Saarth you said you were getting the error too

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

I upgraded the deepgram sdk to the latest version

#

I think I was but it seems to have been gone, interestingly

#

I also had some other thing running on the same port

#

so idk if that is what was causing it

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:46 PM

#

anything i need to configure in console of deepgram?

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:47 PM

#

nvm I think i just got the same error when I restarted the server

#

let me quickly check

#

are you getting the same thing?

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:48 PM

#

yes

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:48 PM

#

okay lemme check this

#

ok do one thing for me

#

close the tab which has the microphone enabled

#

and close the node server too

#

this is just a temporary fix to see if we can get this working for you and then i can figure out why the result is not responding with the alternatives once we get it up and running for you

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:51 PM

#

okay

#

let me try this

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

yea close both things

#

and then run the node server first

#

and then open the http://localhost:3000/

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:53 PM

#

same issue

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:53 PM

#

interesting

#

let me think

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:54 PM

#

yes😐

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:54 PM

#

could it be a microphone issue @unborn bear ?

#

maybe the data is not being sent?

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 4:54 PM

#

It sounds to me like a race condition between the microphone being ready to send data, and the websocket closing because it recieved no data.

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:55 PM

#

do i need to configure any thing in deepgram console?

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 4:55 PM

#

ebon wave do i need to configure any thing in deepgram console?

Nope

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:55 PM

#

yea, I agree

#

I think the connection is closing before the microphone is sending the first datapoint

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 4:55 PM

#

I think the code needs to be a little more robust in this example. Perhaps look at KeepAlive too.

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:55 PM

#

yea I can fix it

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 4:56 PM

#

💪

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:56 PM

#

how many seconds should we ideally wait??

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:56 PM

#

nice that

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 4:56 PM

#

Keep sending KeepAlive in a 5s timer

#

but also send it as soon as you connect

#

IMO

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:56 PM

#

ok

#

lemme try that

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 4:57 PM

#

Stevedeal

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

yes @ebon wave give me some time, I'll get back to you

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 4:59 PM

#

Thanks man

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 5:00 PM

#

ofc

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 6:16 PM

#

@unborn bear it is interesting that it is closing the websocket even after the keep alive is being sent

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 7:39 PM

#

@slate ridge is that fix?

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 7:40 PM

#

I am still working on it

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 7:40 PM

#

okay please let me know if anything needs from my side

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 7:41 PM

#

fs, i'll keep you in the loop. Had to finish something else in the meanwhile so had taken a short break

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 7:44 PM

#

okay

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:15 PM

#

I have reached out to a product manager on the team to get some idea as to why this might be happening

ebon wave Jul 25, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

ohh okay

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:21 PM

#

yup, I will get back when I figure out something or if he tells me why this might be happening

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

okay, so deepgram is basically not receiving audio and that is why there is a response with no transcripts

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

the error is that "alternatives" is missing or coming back empty? what a lovely misleading error...

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

the reason why it is closing like that is because we are sending an empty byte of data, which will signal DG to close the connection

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

❗ I knew that

#

homer_disappear

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

unborn bear the error is that "alternatives" is missing or coming back empty? what a lovely ...

alternatives is missing, but it is in a try catch block

#

so ideally it should not close the websocket

#

this definitely has to do with sending an empty byte of data because otherwise the deepgram websocket would not disconnect for upto 12 seconds

#

and in our case, it is closing in 2 seconds

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 8:46 PM

#

yeh, hence the 5s keep alive

#

seems like an issue using the Media object

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

no but the empty byte is forcing it to close

#

I tried seding the KeepAlive

#

but it did not help

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

Yeh the empty byte is a command of it's own, basically

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

"The websocket will close any time an empty byte of data is sent, so you need to be careful to not send that unless you want to"

Shir (TPM for streaming)

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

Sending an empty byte would be the side effect of a problem getting an empty event from the Media object

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

yes

#

so it's not a problem with the api and more so from whatever is being used to record audio

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 8:52 PM

#

compare how that is being done vs the other project you're working on I guess

#

😄

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:52 PM

#

so for the other project, we open the websocket connection anytime a button is clicked

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 8:52 PM

#

you know I hadn't even considered that other project when you looked at this LOL

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

here it is being opened anytime, there is somebody on the link

#

should we update that and add a button??

#

Also, @ebon wave maybe you also want to check your microphone

#

especially when you first start the server and go to the localhost

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

no i don't think the button is the way, i think it is a race condition between the socket opening and the microphone being ready

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

yea

#

I think so too

#

or the microphone not working at all

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

but you replicated it remember

#

lets talk offline and think of a solution

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

yes

#

we can talk about this tomorrow morning

#

I am about to head home in 5

unborn bear Jul 25, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

💪

slate ridge Jul 25, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

👍

ebon wave Jul 26, 2023, 5:35 AM

#

have you guyz fixed it if yes then can you please send me the latest code?

ebon wave Jul 26, 2023, 6:33 PM

#

hello

unborn bear Jul 26, 2023, 6:46 PM

#

hey I'm going to be looking at this tomorrow

ebon wave Jul 27, 2023, 9:19 AM

#

okay

ebon wave Jul 28, 2023, 7:34 AM

#

any update @unborn bear ?

unborn bear Jul 28, 2023, 7:45 AM

#

Yeh I think I fixed it in just doing a few other changes while I'm there.

There is a race condition between the socket being open and the mic sending data.

But the error is being caused because it is trying to get alternatives from every response. Some responses are metadata.

You can wrap the whole JSON.parse section and following code inside an IF that checks for dgJSON.type==="result"

You may still have the socket close due to the race condition

#

I'll make a PR today with a new version of this demo

ebon wave Jul 28, 2023, 10:18 AM

#

thanks please update me as soon as you pushed new version

unborn bear Jul 28, 2023, 12:12 PM

#

@ebon wave PR is up, waiting for a colleague to approve it. But you could pull and switch to that branch. Follow the README from fresh, as it's very different now.

ebon wave Jul 28, 2023, 12:49 PM

yes thanks

Whats the reason i can see you are using keepAlive is that compulsory.
I am transcribing live phone calls..

Can you please provide solution although i send mail to Dustin Shubert but dont know he is busy.
