Great question. It depends on how you're hitting the API. If you are using the Node SDK you'd use the finish function, as in:

const deepgramSocket = deepgram.transcription.live({ punctuate: true });
deepgramSocket.finish();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you're communicating with the WebSocket directly with JavaScript you can send a new Uint8Array, as in:

socket.send(new Uint8Array(0));
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

When the Deepgram API receives that it will finish transcribing the audio, send a final transcript, and then close the WebSocket connection.

Thanks!

For the Python SDK:

deepgramLive = await deepgram.transcription.live()
await deepgramLive.finish()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Against the WebSocket without the SDK would be something like:

await socket.send(b'')
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
