Language
Language allows you to supply a BCP-47 language tag that specifies the primary spoken language of submitted audio.
Deepgram defaults language to US English (en-US
).
For more information on all the languages supported by Deepgram see our Languages Overview.
Enable Feature
To enable Language, when you call Deepgram’s API, add a language
parameter in the query string and set it to the language you would like to recognize:
language=OPTION
To transcribe audio from a file on your computer, run the following curl command in a terminal or your favorite API client.
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?language=OPTION'
