TranscriptionAdapter

Base adapter interface that all provider adapters must implement

Methods

getTranscript()

getTranscript(transcriptId): Promise<UnifiedTranscriptResponse<TranscriptionProvider>>

Get transcription result by ID Used to poll for results after async submission

Parameters

Returns

Promise<UnifiedTranscriptResponse<TranscriptionProvider>>

initialize()

initialize(config): void

Initialize the adapter with configuration

Parameters

Returns

void

transcribe()

transcribe(audio, options?): Promise<UnifiedTranscriptResponse<TranscriptionProvider>>

Submit audio for transcription (async) Returns immediately with a job ID that can be polled

Parameters

Returns

Promise<UnifiedTranscriptResponse<TranscriptionProvider>>

deleteTranscript()?

optional deleteTranscript(transcriptId): Promise<{ success: boolean; }>

Delete a transcription Not all providers support deletion

Parameters

Returns

Promise<{ success: boolean; }>

getRawClient()?

optional getRawClient(): unknown

Get provider-specific raw client For advanced users who need direct access to provider APIs

Returns

unknown

listTranscripts()?

optional listTranscripts(options?): Promise<{ transcripts: UnifiedTranscriptResponse<TranscriptionProvider>[]; hasMore?: boolean; total?: number; }>

List recent transcriptions with filtering

Supports date/time filtering, status filtering, and pagination. Not all providers support all options - use provider-specific passthrough for full control.

Parameters

Returns

Promise<{ transcripts: UnifiedTranscriptResponse<TranscriptionProvider>[]; hasMore?: boolean; total?: number; }>

Example

const { transcripts } = await adapter.listTranscripts({
  afterDate: '2026-01-01',
  beforeDate: '2026-01-31',
  status: 'completed',
  limit: 50
})

transcribeStream()?

optional transcribeStream(options?, callbacks?): Promise<StreamingSession>

Stream audio for real-time transcription (callback-based) Only available if capabilities.streaming is true

This method creates a streaming session that accepts audio chunks and returns transcription results via callbacks.

Parameters

Returns

Promise<StreamingSession>

Promise that resolves with a StreamingSession

Example

const session = await adapter.transcribeStream({
  encoding: 'linear16',
  sampleRate: 16000,
  language: 'en'
}, {
  onTranscript: (event) => console.log(event.text),
  onError: (error) => console.error(error)
});

// Send audio chunks
await session.sendAudio({ data: audioBuffer });

// Close when done
await session.close();

transcribeStreamIterator()?

optional transcribeStreamIterator(audioStream, options?): AsyncIterable<StreamEvent>

Stream audio for real-time transcription (async iterator) Alternative streaming API that returns an async iterable Only available if capabilities.streaming is true

Parameters

Returns

AsyncIterable<StreamEvent>

Deprecated

Prefer transcribeStream() with callbacks for better control
