Documentation by Topic

Speech-to-Text (STT)

Transcribe audio and video into text. Deepgram ships two actively maintained, next-gen model families — pick the one that matches your use case.

• Nova (/v1/listen) — general-purpose transcription (captions, subtitles, batch files, live streams). Rich feature set including intelligence overlays (diarize, summarize, sentiment, topics, intents).
• Flux STT (/v2/listen) — conversational-audio transcription for voice agents and interactive assistants. Built-in turn-taking (EOT events, mid-session reconfig).

Docs:

• STT Getting Started (Nova)
• Flux STT Quickstart
• Nova 3 → Flux STT migration
• Flux STT language prompting

Text-to-Speech (TTS)

Convert text into natural-sounding speech. Deepgram ships two TTS model families on separate endpoints — the voices do not overlap.

• Aura (/v1/speak) — the broadest voice catalog (English, Spanish, German, Dutch, French, Italian, Japanese) and compressed/containerized output. Use for one-shot synthesis and any non-English voice.
• Flux TTS (/v2/speak) — streaming-first, voice-agent-first synthesis. Turn-based lifecycle, barge-in with spoken-text feedback, and prosody that carries across turns. English at launch.
