Overview

Migrate to Deepgram from AWS Transcribe, Google Cloud Speech-to-Text, Azure Cognitive Services, or OpenAI Whisper. Uses an adapter pattern with a unified interface, parallel running for quality validation, percentage-based traffic shifting, and automated rollback.

Feature Mapping

AWS Transcribe -> Deepgram

AWS Transcribe	Deepgram	Notes
`LanguageCode: 'en-US'`	`language: 'en'`	ISO 639-1 (2-letter)
`ShowSpeakerLabels: true`	`diarize: true`	Same feature, different param
`VocabularyName: 'custom'`	`keywords: ['term:1.5']`	Inline boosting, no pre-upload
`ContentRedactionType: 'PII'`	`redact: ['pci', 'ssn']`	Granular PII categories
`OutputBucketName`	`callback: 'https://...'`	Callback URL, not S3
Job polling model	Sync response or callback	No polling needed

Google Cloud STT -> Deepgram

Google STT	Deepgram	Notes
`RecognitionConfig.encoding`	Auto-detected	Deepgram auto-detects format
`RecognitionConfig.sampleRateHertz`	`sample_rate` (live only)	REST auto-detects
`RecognitionConfig.model: 'latest_long'`	`model: 'nova-3'`	Direct mapping
`SpeakerDiarizationConfig`

diarize: true

Whisper	Deepgram	Notes
Local GPU processing	API call	No GPU needed
`whisper.transcribe(audio)`	`listen.prerecorded.transcribeFile()`	Similar interface
`model='large-v3'`	`model: 'nova-3'`	10-100x faster
`language='en'`	`language: 'en'`	Same format
No diarization	`diarize: true`	Deepgram advantage
No streaming	`listen.live()`	Deepgram advantage

Phase	Actions	Duration
Assessment	Audit current usage, map features, estimate costs	1 week
Setup	Install SDK, implement adapter pattern, create test suite	1 week
Validation	Parallel run on test corpus, measure similarity	1 week
Rollout 5%	Enable for 5% of traffic, monitor closely	1 week
Rollout 25%	Increase if no issues, monitor error rate	1 week
Rollout 50%	Continue monitoring, compare costs	1 week
Rollout 100%	Full cutover, decommission legacy	1 week
Cleanup	Remove legacy adapter, update docs	1 week

Issue	Cause	Solution
Low similarity	Feature mapping incomplete	Check options mapping (language, diarize)
Deepgram slower than expected	First request cold start	Pre-warm with test request
Missing features	No direct equivalent	Use `keywords` for custom vocab
Rollback needed	Quality regression	`router.setDeepgramPercent(0)` immediately
