Agent-maintained micro-recipes showing how to use every Deepgram SDK feature across every supported language. Each recipe is a focused, runnable snippet — not a full app.

Speech-to-Text — Nova (/v1/listen) | transcribe-url, transcribe-file, paragraphs, diarize, smart-format, utterances, summarize, sentiment, topics, intents, detect-entities, detect-language, redact, search, keywords, streaming |
Speech-to-Text — Flux (/v2/listen) | streaming conversational transcription, EOT / eager-EOT, mid-session Configure, keyterms |
| Text-to-Speech | generate-audio, stream-audio, websocket-streaming, select-model, select-encoding |
| Audio Intelligence | summarize, sentiment, topics, intents, entities |
| Voice Agents | connect, custom-llm, custom-tts, function-calling |
Nova is the general-purpose STT family; Flux is designed for conversational audio and voice agents. Both are actively maintained — see the api skill’s “Nova vs Flux” section for the decision guide.
Python, JavaScript, Go, .NET, Java, Rust, plus the Deepgram CLI (dg / deepctl).

Find focused, runnable Deepgram recipes for a specific feature × language. Use whenever someone wants a minimal working code snippet for ONE feature (transcribe URL, diarize, smart-format, voice agent connect, etc.) rather than a full starter app. Recipes are under 50 lines, read DEEPGRAM_API_KEY from env, and ship with a runnable example_test. Covers Python, JavaScript, Go, .NET, Java, Rust, and the Deepgram CLI.
