Language detection giving error in live transcription

[theavijitsarkar]

Which Deepgram product feature are you using?

Deepgram API - STT Streaming

Details

I am trying to enable language detection like this

const dgConnection = deepgram.listen.live({
model: "nova-2-general",
detect_language: true,
language: "hi",
endpointing: true,
filler_words: false,
});

But I am getting an error

Error: Unexpected server response: 400

@theavijitsarkar

Our language detection feature is not available for the live streaming STT API, only for our prerecorded API. You are getting the 400 error because you've turned on language detection for streaming.

[SandraRodgers]

Which languages do you need this for? We've just released this for English/Spanish but I can try to find out if other languages are in the pipeline. https://developers.deepgram.com/docs/multilingual-code-switching

[theavijitsarkar]

Hindi would be critical for our use case, actually eventually all languages. Ideally, if could remove the language parameter during setup all together so that the live transcription always detects and responds with the language in the Transcript event, this will let us build multilingual bots

[theavijitsarkar]

Looks like the multilingual feature is what I am talking about, thanks let me give it a go

[SandraRodgers]

We have many requests for this type of feature and the team is definitely working on it. I've passed on your feedback that Hindi would be your highest need. Thank you!

@SandraRodgers do you have any information if the Italian language is in the pipeline ?
