Hi @sick wolf. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

If you want real-time speech-to-text that you can stream into your chat, use Deepgram’s Streaming STT WebSocket API. It sends incremental transcripts as audio is received, ideal for live chat updates.

Basic approach:

  • Open a WebSocket to wss://api.deepgram.com/v1/listen with your API key.
  • Stream audio chunks to the socket.
  • Listen for messages of type "Results" and post transcripts to your chat as they arrive.
  • Send {"type":"CloseStream"} when done.

Docs and examples:

  • Streaming STT overview and SDK/non-SDK examples (including interim results) (Getting Started with live streaming audio) (Getting Started).
  • WebSocket API reference with handshake details (Live Audio reference).
  • Node.js example streaming a remote audio source and printing transcripts (pipe these into your chat) (JS sample).
  • Python streaming examples (threading and asyncio) you can adapt similarly (Python sample 1, Python sample 2).
  • For conversation flows (detecting utterance boundaries), see utterance segmentation guidance in the Dialogflow CX integration doc; same pattern applies if you’re forwarding to your own bot (High-level architecture).
#

Notes:

  • If you need the text to appear as the speaker talks, enable interim results (your chat can update progressively) (Interim results).
  • Pre-recorded vs streaming can differ slightly in accuracy; streaming is optimized for low latency (Model behavior note).

If you share your stack (Node/Python/etc.), I can point you to the closest sample and show a minimal snippet to forward transcripts into Kickchat.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
