Description

@deepgram-robot

What to build

A Gradio-based web application that provides a browser-based interface for recording audio and getting transcriptions from Deepgram. Demonstrates how to build a polished voice transcription demo with zero frontend code using Gradio's audio components.

Why this matters

Gradio is the standard tool for building ML/AI demos, with millions of monthly users on Hugging Face Spaces. Developers and data scientists prototyping voice applications need a quick way to build shareable demos without writing frontend code. A Gradio + Deepgram example enables one-click deployment to Hugging Face Spaces, making Deepgram discoverable to the entire ML community through the Spaces gallery. This is also valuable for internal tools, hackathon projects, and rapid prototyping.

Suggested scope

  • Language/Framework: Python / Gradio (latest stable)
  • Deepgram APIs: Pre-recorded STT (Nova-3), optionally Audio Intelligence (sentiment, topics)
  • Features: Browser mic recording → upload to Deepgram → display formatted transcript with speaker labels, optionally with intelligence results
  • Complexity: Low-medium — Gradio handles all UI; focus is on Deepgram API integration
  • Deployable to Hugging Face Spaces for instant sharing

Acceptance criteria

  • Runnable with minimal setup (clone, add API key, run)
  • README explains the pattern clearly
  • Uses current Deepgram Python SDK
  • Provides both microphone recording and file upload modes
  • Includes a requirements.txt compatible with Hugging Face Spaces deployment
  • Shows formatted transcript with speaker diarization

Raised by the DX intelligence system.
