Speech-to-Text — Saaras

Live in-chat transcription → sarvam-mcp (sarvam_tools_stt_*). This skill = SDK code.

[!IMPORTANT] Auth: api-subscription-key header — NOT Authorization: Bearer. Base URL: https://api.sarvam.ai (NOT /v1 — that prefix is only for the OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint)

Model

saaras:v3 (default, recommended) — 23 languages, 5 output modes (transcribe, translate, verbatim, translit, codemix), auto language detection.

saaras:v4 (latest) — same modes/languages, plus Global English (not just Indian English) and Keyterm Prompting: pass keyterms=["Sarvam", "New Delhi", ...] (up to 50 terms, 64 chars each) on REST, Batch, or either WebSocket streaming endpoint to bias recognition toward domain-specific names/brands/terms. keyterms is saaras:v4-only — see Gotchas for a JS-specific caveat.

Quick Start (Python)

from sarvamai import SarvamAI
client = SarvamAI()
