Using Deepgram Speech-to-Text (Java SDK)

Basic transcription for prerecorded audio over REST or live audio over WebSocket via /v1/listen.

When to use this product

• REST (media().transcribeUrl / transcribeFile) — one-shot transcription of a complete URL or byte array.
• WebSocket (v1WebSocket()) — live streaming transcription with interim/final results.

Use a different skill when:

• You want summaries, sentiment, topics, intents, diarization, redaction, or language detection overlays on the same endpoint → deepgram-java-audio-intelligence.
• You need turn-aware conversational streaming on /v2/listen → deepgram-java-conversational-stt.
• You need a full interactive assistant with TTS + LLM orchestration → deepgram-java-voice-agent.
