PHI Redaction Now Available for Batch and Streaming Speech-to-Text

We’re excited to announce that PHI (Protected Health Information) redaction is now available for both batch (pre-recorded) and streaming speech-to-text.

redact=phi

You can now redact protected health information using the new phi parameter, which redacts the following entity types: condition, drug, injury, blood_type, medical_process, and statistics.

Key features:

  • Batch support: Available for all pre-recorded audio transcription
  • Streaming support: Available for real-time streaming transcription
  • Language support: Follows existing redaction language support (all languages for hosted batch, English only for streaming)
  • Combine with other redaction options: Use multiple redaction parameters together (e.g., redact=phi&redact=pci)

Example usage:

$curl \
> --request POST \
> --header 'Authorization: Token YOUR_DEEPGRAM_API_KEY' \
> --header 'Content-Type: audio/wav' \
> --data-binary @youraudio.wav \
> --url 'https://api.deepgram.com/v1/listen?redact=phi'
