# Deepgram (Audio Transcription)
Deepgram is a speech-to-text API. In OpenClaw it is used for **inbound audio/voice note
transcription** via `tools.media.audio`.
When enabled, OpenClaw uploads the audio file to Deepgram and injects the transcript
into the reply pipeline (`{{Transcript}}` + `[Audio]` block). This is **not streaming**;
it uses the pre-recorded transcription endpoint.

## Quick start
1. Set your API key:
```
DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=dg_...
```
2. Enable the provider:
```json5
{
tools: {
media: {
audio: {
enabled: true,
models: [{ provider: "deepgram", model: "nova-3" }],
},
},
},
}
```
## Options
- `model`: Deepgram model id (default: `nova-3`)
- `language`: language hint (optional)
- `tools.media.audio.providerOptions.deepgram.detect_language`: enable language detection (optional)
- `tools.media.audio.providerOptions.deepgram.punctuate`: enable punctuation (optional)
- `tools.media.audio.providerOptions.deepgram.smart_format`: enable smart formatting (optional)
Example with language:
```json5
{
tools: {
media: {
audio: {
enabled: true,
models: [{ provider: "deepgram", model: "nova-3", language: "en" }],
},
},
},
}
```
Example with Deepgram options:
```json5
{
tools: {
media: {
audio: {
enabled: true,
providerOptions: {
deepgram: {
detect_language: true,
punctuate: true,
smart_format: true,
},
},
models: [{ provider: "deepgram", model: "nova-3" }],
},
},
},
}
```
## Notes
- Authentication follows the standard provider auth order; `DEEPGRAM_API_KEY` is the simplest path.
- Override endpoints or headers with `tools.media.audio.baseUrl` and `tools.media.audio.headers` when using a proxy.
- Output follows the same audio rules as other providers (size caps, timeouts, transcript injection).
