07/25/2025, 3:25 PM0.0000s in the STT metrics, is expected for Deepgram's streaming STT implementation. This is not an issue but rather the designed behavior of the system.
In streaming STT, the Duration field is always set to 0.0 because the transcription process operates continuously in real-time, rather than processing discrete requests. As a result, there is no single "request duration" to measure.
Instead of focusing on the Duration metric, you should monitor the following:
• Audio Duration: This indicates the duration of the audio being streamed and should increase as audio is received.
• Streamed: This confirms that the STT is operating in streaming mode.
If you are not receiving transcription results despite these metrics being correct, there may be another issue at play. Let me know if that's the case, and we can investigate further.

• Language Detection: Just a heads up - streaming mode doesn't play nice with language detection. Make sure detect_language is turned off and you've specified a language.
• Interim Results: If interim_results is disabled, you'll only see final transcripts at the end of speech segments.
Audio Format Issues
• Sample Rate and Encoding: Let's make sure your audio matches Deepgram's requirements (like 16000 Hz sample rate, 1 channel, "linear16" encoding).
• Audio Energy Filtering: Low-energy audio might get filtered out before reaching Deepgram. Check that your audio has enough oomph!
Connection and Streaming Issues
• WebSocket Connection: Keep an eye out for any connection instability.
• Endpointing Configuration: Incorrect endpointing settings can mess with transcription results. Make sure the endpointing_ms parameter is set just right.
Audio Processing Issues
• Audio Duration: Super short audio clips might not have enough speech content for transcription.
• Audio Chunk Processing: Verify that you're buffering and sending audio chunks to Deepgram correctly.
Event Processing Issues
• Event Handlers: Don't forget to handle SpeechEventType.INTERIM_TRANSCRIPT and SpeechEventType.FINAL_TRANSCRIPT events properly.
• Speech Detection: If Deepgram can't detect speech, no transcription events will pop up.
Take a look through these suggestions, and if you're still stuck, I'm here to help! Just reach out, and we'll solve this together.

3. Network Latency
• Network speed can be like rush hour traffic - sometimes things just slow down between NetGSM and Deepgram's servers. We'll want to investigate the route and see where things might be getting stuck.
4. Audio Configuration Parameters
• Let's make sure your audio is speaking the right "language" - aim for 16000 Hz sample rate, 1 channel (mono), and "linear16" encoding.
• We might need to play around with your endpointing settings. Try adjusting endpointing_ms or turning it off completely with endpointing_ms=0.
5. Noise Suppression and Silence Detection
• Sometimes noise suppression can be a bit too eager and mess with your audio. We might want to turn off those features temporarily.
• If the system is having trouble detecting your speech, we can tweak the Voice Activity Detection by lowering the min_silence_duration.
6. Turkish Language Support
• Make sure Turkish is explicitly set in your configuration - streaming mode can be a bit picky about language detection.
I know this might seem like a lot, but we'll work through it together! If these steps don't solve the mystery, we might need to dig a bit deeper into NetGSM's specific network quirks. Don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of this!
