Deepgram provides fast, accurate real-time speech-to-text with built-in turn detection. Ideal for conversational agents.
Vision Agents requires a Stream account for real-time transport. Most providers offer free tiers to get started.
Deepgram also provides low-latency text-to-speech. You can use both in the same agent.
