dg-translation-chrome-ext VS deepgram-js-sdk

It’s my favorite time of the year! This year I participated as a mentor, contributor, and maintainer. I got to work on my postpartum wellness app with others and launch a new Deepgram project as a maintainer that I really enjoyed working on. It’s a chrome extension that allows the user to get transcripts in a browser tab, and we’re working on functionality to have translation available as well. I plan on keeping this going as long as the ideas are flowing and folks find it helpful. If you want to check it out, here’s the GitHub repo. I also supported the Virtual Coffee Hacktoberfest Initiative. If you want to read more about that, check out Dan Ott’s post.

Deepgram Translation Chrome Extension - A TypeScript chrome extension that uses Deepgram to provide live transcription and translation.

Deepgram Node SDK - Official JavaScript SDK for Deepgram's automated speech recognition APIs.

RRP uses several packages to handle the functionality of the program. The command line input is acquired through using readline-sync which asks users for a YouTube link and an email address. YouTube mp3 Downloader is used to specify YouTube videos from which the audio data should be extracted, converted to MP3, and temporarily stored on disk. DeepGram SDK then converts the stored MP3 file to a text transcript. And then SendGrid Mail is utilized to send the transcript as an email to a specified address.

The useMicrophone composable will rely on the browser Media Stream API and the getUserMedia method to request permission to use the browser microphone of the user and pull the audio from it. Since there are several other blog posts in Deepgram Docs about this nifty API, I won't go into detail about how it works. Check out Brian's post for a general introduction to it.

You can learn more about the inner workings by consulting the Next and Deepgram documentation.
