Speech recognition as infrastructure.
Deepgram transcribes audio through an API built for speed and scale — real-time streaming\, high accuracy\, and latency low enough for live voice agents.
This is a developer product with no consumer interface: you use it to put transcription inside something else. Latency and per-minute cost are what matter\, and both are competitive. Free starting credits make evaluation straightforward.
