Deepgram Performance Tuning
Overview
Optimize Deepgram transcription performance through audio preprocessing with ffmpeg, model selection for speed vs accuracy, streaming for large files, parallel processing, result caching, and connection reuse. Targets: <2s latency for short files, 100+ files/minute batch throughput.
Performance Levers
Factor Impact Default Optimized Audio format High Any format 16kHz mono WAV Model High nova-3 base (speed) or nova-3 (accuracy) File size High Full file sync Stream >60s, callback >5min Concurrency Medium Sequential 50 parallel (p-limit) Caching Medium None Redis hash by audio+options Features Medium All enabled Disable unused (diarize, utterances)

return
Step 2: Model Selection Strategy import { createClient } from '@deepgram/sdk' ;
type Priority = 'accuracy' | 'speed' | 'cost' ;
function selectModel (priority : Priority , audioDuration : number string {
switch (priority) {
case 'accuracy' :
return 'nova-3' ;
case 'speed' :
return audioDuration > 300 ? 'base' : 'nova-2' ;
case 'cost' :
return 'nova-2' ;
default :
return 'nova-3' ;
}
}
function optimizedOptions (priority : Priority return {
model : selectModel (priority, 0 ),
smart_format : true ,
punctuate : true ,
diarize : priority === 'accuracy' ,
utterances : priority === 'accuracy' ,
paragraphs : priority === 'accuracy' ,
summarize : false ,
detect_topics : false ,
sentiment : false ,
};
}
Step 3: Streaming for Large Files import { createClient, LiveTranscriptionEvents } from '@deepgram/sdk' ;
import { createReadStream } from 'fs' ;
async function streamLargeFile (filePath : string Promise <string > {
const deepgram = createClient (process.env .DEEPGRAM_API_KEY !);
const transcripts : string [] = [];
return new Promise ((resolve, reject ) => {
const connection = deepgram.listen .live ({
model : 'nova-3' ,
smart_format : true ,
encoding : 'linear16' ,
sample_rate : 16000 ,
channels : 1 ,
});
connection.on (LiveTranscriptionEvents .Open , () => {
const stream = createReadStream (filePath, { highWaterMark : 32 * 1024 });
stream.on ('data' , (chunk : Buffer {
connection.send (chunk);
});
stream.on ('end' , () => {
connection.finish ();
});
stream.on ('error' , reject);
});
connection.on (LiveTranscriptionEvents .Transcript , (data ) => {
if (data.is_final ) {
const text = data.channel .alternatives [0 ]?.transcript ;
if (text) transcripts.push (text);
}
});
connection.on (LiveTranscriptionEvents .Close , () => {
resolve (transcripts.join (' ' ));
});
connection.on (LiveTranscriptionEvents .Error , reject);
});
}
Step 4: Parallel Batch Processing import pLimit from 'p-limit' ;
import { createClient } from '@deepgram/sdk' ;
async function batchTranscribe (
files : string [],
concurrency = 50 ,
model = 'nova-3'
) {
const client = createClient (process.env .DEEPGRAM_API_KEY !);
const limit = pLimit (concurrency);
const startTime = Date .now ();
const results = await Promise .allSettled (
files.map ((file, i ) =>
limit (async () => {
const fileStart = Date .now ();
const { result, error } = await client.listen .prerecorded .transcribeFile (
require ('fs' ).readFileSync (file),
{ model, smart_format : true , mimetype : 'audio/wav' }
);
if (error) throw error;
const elapsed = Date .now () - fileStart;
console .log (`[${i + 1 } /${files.length} ] ${file} — ${elapsed} ms (${result.metadata.duration} s audio)` );
return { file, result, elapsed };
})
)
);
const totalTime = Date .now () - startTime;
const succeeded = results.filter (r =>status === 'fulfilled' ).length ;
console .log (`\nBatch: ${succeeded} /${files.length} in ${totalTime} ms` );
console .log (`Throughput: ${(files.length / (totalTime / 60000 )).toFixed(1 )} files/min` );
return results;
}
Step 5: Result Caching import { createHash } from 'crypto' ;
import Redis from 'ioredis' ;
const redis = new Redis (process.env .REDIS_URL ?? 'redis://localhost:6379' );
function cacheKey (audioUrl : string , options : Record <string , any >string {
const hash = createHash ('sha256' )
.update (audioUrl + JSON .stringify (options))
.digest ('hex' );
return `dg:cache:${hash} ` ;
}
async function cachedTranscribe (
client : ReturnType <typeof createClient>,
url : string ,
options : Record <string , any >,
ttlSeconds = 3600
) {
const key = cacheKey (url, options);
const cached = await redis.get (key);
if (cached) {
console .log ('Cache hit:' , url.substring (0 , 60 ));
return JSON .parse (cached);
}
const { result, error } = await client.listen .prerecorded .transcribeUrl (
{ url }, options
);
if (error) throw error;
await redis.setex (key, ttlSeconds, JSON .stringify (result));
console .log ('Cached result:' , url.substring (0 , 60 ));
return result;
}
Step 6: Performance Benchmarking async function benchmark (audioUrl : string const client = createClient (process.env .DEEPGRAM_API_KEY !);
const models = ['nova-3' , 'nova-2' , 'base' ] as const ;
console .log ('Performance Benchmark' );
console .log ('=' .repeat (60 ));
for (const model of models) {
const times : number [] = [];
for (let i = 0 ; i < 3 ; i++) {
const start = Date .now ();
const { result, error } = await client.listen .prerecorded .transcribeUrl (
{ url : audioUrl }, { model, smart_format : true }
);
times.push (Date .now () - start);
if (error) { console .error (`${model} error:` , error.message ); break ; }
}
const avg = times.reduce ((a, b ) => a + b, 0 ) / times.length ;
console .log (`${model} : avg ${avg.toFixed(0 )} ms (${times.map(t => `${t} ms` ).join(', ' )} )` );
}
}
