Error in _stt_task ... Why am I getting this err when I swtched to speechmatics. stt = speechmatics.STT( language="hi" )

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

$ pip list | grep livekit livekit 1.0.23 livekit-agents 1.3.9 livekit-api 1.1.0 livekit-blingfire 1.0.0 livekit-plugins-cartesia 1.3.9 livekit-plugins-deepgram 1.3.9 livekit-plugins-elevenlabs 1.3.9 livekit-plugins-groq 1.3.9 livekit-plugins-langchain 1.3.9 livekit-plugins-noise-cancellation 0.2.5 livekit-plugins-openai 1.3.9 livekit-plugins-sarvam 1.3.9 livekit-plugins-silero 1.3.9 livekit-plugins-speechmatics 1.3.9 livekit-plugins-turn-detector 1.3.9 livekit-protocol 1.1.1 anything wrong with packages that I have?

Thanks — I’m responding to your question about whether anything is wrong with the packages you listed. Your installed packages and versions look fine and include the Speechmatics plugin (

livekit-plugins-speechmatics 1.3.9

), so there’s no obvious package-version issue. Please check these next items so I can narrow the cause of the

_stt_task

error: • Confirm

SPEECHMATICS_API_KEY

is set and correct in your environment (

.env

or process env). • Share the full error message and stack trace from

_stt_task

— that’s the fastest way to pinpoint whether it’s an unsupported language, auth failure, or runtime bug. • If possible, try a known-supported language (e.g.,

en

) to see if the same error occurs. Share the error output and results of the

en

test and I’ll guide the exact fix.
