starters

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Clone a ready-to-run Deepgram demo app and start building on top of it. Use whenever someone wants a quick working demo, needs to prototype with Deepgram, or is starting a new project that uses speech-to-text, text-to-speech, voice agents, audio intelligence, or live streaming. Match the user's language, framework, and desired Deepgram feature to the right starter.

Deepgram Starter Apps

Clone a working demo and start building. Every starter is a minimal, runnable app you can extend.

1. Pick Your Feature

What do you want to build?

Transcribe a file →
```
transcription
```
— send audio/video, get text back (REST, Nova)
Transcribe a live stream →
```
live-transcription
```
— real-time speech-to-text (WebSocket, Nova)
Generate speech →
```
text-to-speech
```
— send text, get audio back (REST)
Stream speech →
```
live-text-to-speech
```
— real-time text-to-audio (WebSocket)
Analyze text or audio →
```
text-intelligence
```
— sentiment, topics, intents, summaries (REST)
Build a voice agent →
```
voice-agent
```
— conversational AI agent (WebSocket, agent.deepgram.com)
Conversational STT with turn detection →
```
flux
```
— Deepgram Flux for voice agents and interactive assistants (WebSocket,
```
/v2/listen
```
)

Nova vs Flux for speech-to-text: use

transcription

or

live-transcription

(Nova,

/v1/listen

) for general-purpose transcription, captions, and batch workloads. Use

flux

(Flux,

/v2/listen

) when you need built-in turn detection for conversational audio. See the

api

skill for a full comparison.
