transcribe

Transcribes recorded audio. When the declared media type is generic, the format is sniffed from the bytes themselves, so MP4, M4A, WAV, Ogg, FLAC, and MP3 are recognized without you naming them.

For microphone input that should transcribe as it arrives, use streamTranscribe.

let result = try await transcribe(
  model: DeepgramTranscriptionModel("nova-3"),
  audio: try Data(contentsOf: url)
)
print(result.text)
