@icy-policeman-64898 can we integrate with vachana stt

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.

trying to use it as part of the pipeline itself for the STT process

Thanks — I’m responding about using Vachana STT as part of the LiveKit STT pipeline. Vachana isn’t listed among built‑in plugins, but you can integrate it by either using LiveKit Inference with a custom STT implementation or by creating a plugin that calls Vachana’s API. To proceed I need a few details so I can give a concise implementation plan: • Do you need real‑time (streaming) transcription or post‑call (batch) transcription? • Does Vachana expose a streaming API (websocket/gRPC) or only REST file uploads? What authentication method does it use (API key, OAuth, etc.)? • Where will the integration run: server-side (Node/Python) or inside an Agent/worker that LiveKit Agents will run? • Do you want LiveKit to manage credentials/billing (via Inference) or will you provide your own Vachana credentials (plugin approach)? Share those answers and I’ll outline the exact steps and a short code sketch for the best integration path.
