2 years ago So there's a couple things to unwrap here:
First, the URL you are trying to pass to Deepgram is a local URL. It isn't accessible by any service not on your local network so the API won't be able to retrieve the audio from it. The URL you pass to be transcribed needs to be publicly accessible on the internet.
Second, it appears you aren't submitting the request to the preRecorded function correctly. You are sending:
deepgram.transcription
.preRecorded(
{ mimetype: mimeType },
{ url: audioStream },
{ punctuate: true, language: "en-GB" }
)However, the signature for the preRecorded function is:
/**
* Transcribes prerecorded audio from a file or buffer
* @param source Url or Buffer of file to transcribe
* @param options Options to modify transcriptions
*/
async preRecorded(
source: TranscriptionSource,
options?: PrerecordedTranscriptionOptions
)In your example, and assuming the URL was publicly accessible, that would look like:
deepgram.transcription
.preRecorded(
{ url: audioStream },
{ punctuate: true, language: "en-GB" }
)There is no parameter of the preRecorded function that takes an object with mimetype and url.
You could possibly convert the blob url to a buffer and then pass that to the preRecorded function. An example of how to convert it lives on this StackOverflow post. With that final buffer you could send:
const fetch = require("node-fetch");
const response = await fetch(audioStream);
const blob = await response.blob();
const arrayBuffer = await blob.arrayBuffer();
const myBuffer = Buffer.from(arrayBuffer);
deepgram.transcription
.preRecorded(
{ buffer: myBuffer, mimetype: mimeType },
{ punctuate: true, language: "en-GB" }
)Full disclosure: I haven't tested converting that blob url to a Node Buffer but that code looks like it would work on first blush.
Hopefully, this helps get you started.

What is the current behavior?
I'm still facing this issue on my application.
Steps to reproduce
My file from where I'm sending the request.
This is my backend file where I imported DeepGram API
Expected behavior
Since I'm passing the direct URL of audio file I guess, it should be easily transcribed by the api.
Please tell us about your environment
Other information
I'm using Express server for backend purpose. And with the help of
navigator.mediaDevicesas described above I'm getting the audio input. The URL looks something like thisblob:http://127.0.0.1:5500/58bf900d-a1c4-4e75-82e5-be16916c0834and when opened this audio starts playing. I guess these information would be enough if needed anymore information, please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Help would be appreciated.
