Deepgram Starter Apps

Clone a working demo and start building. Every starter is a minimal, runnable app you can extend.

1. Pick Your Feature

What do you want to build?

• Transcribe a file → transcription — send audio/video, get text back (REST, Nova)
• Transcribe a live stream → live-transcription — real-time speech-to-text (WebSocket, Nova)
• Generate speech → text-to-speech — send text, get audio back (REST)
• Stream speech → live-text-to-speech — real-time text-to-audio (WebSocket)
• Analyze text or audio → text-intelligence — sentiment, topics, intents, summaries (REST)
• Build a voice agent → voice-agent — conversational AI agent (WebSocket, agent.deepgram.com)
• Conversational STT with turn detection → flux — Deepgram Flux for voice agents and interactive assistants (WebSocket, /v2/listen)

Nova vs Flux for speech-to-text: use transcription or live-transcription (Nova, /v1/listen) for general-purpose transcription, captions, and batch workloads. Use flux (Flux, /v2/listen) when you need built-in turn detection for conversational audio. See the api skill for a full comparison.
