does realtimeAgent emit transcription or do I need to plug in a transcription node?

Thanks for reaching out, Goku. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.


The `realtimeAgent` uses a `transcription_node` to share transcriptions. Just a heads-up, it needs an STT plugin to create those transcriptions in real-time because realtime models by themselves don’t provide interim transcription results. Hope that helps clarify things!
