Telnyx Hermes STT Provider

Use this skill when integrating or validating the Telnyx Speech-to-Text provider for Hermes.

Architecture

This is not a standalone plugin. Hermes handles STT through built-in providers dispatched in tools/transcription_tools.py. This repo contains the Telnyx provider function and tests, ready to be contributed upstream.

Provider details

Field	Value
Provider ID	telnyx
Endpoint	https://api.telnyx.com/v2/ai/audio/transcriptions
Default model	openai/whisper-large-v3-turbo
Protocol	OpenAI-compatible (multipart/form-data)
Auth	TELNYX_API_KEY (Bearer)
Base URL override	TELNYX_STT_BASE_URL env var
Language override	TELNYX_STT_LANGUAGE env var (ISO-639-1, default en)

Integration

See README.md for step-by-step instructions on adding the Telnyx STT provider to tools/transcription_tools.py in hermes-agent. No new dependencies are required — the existing openai package is reused with the Telnyx base URL.

Configure

export TELNYX_API_KEY="***"

Optional:

export TELNYX_STT_BASE_URL="https://api.telnyx.com/v2/ai"
export TELNYX_STT_LANGUAGE="en"

Running tests

# No credentials needed
python -m pytest tests/test_telnyx_stt_static.py tests/test_telnyx_stt_runtime.py -q

# Live test (requires TELNYX_API_KEY)
export TELNYX_API_KEY=***
python -m pytest tests/test_telnyx_stt_live.py -q

Notes

• No pip install needed — the provider function is copy-pasted into hermes-agent.
• Local tests use a mock OpenAI client; live tests hit the real Telnyx API.
• The endpoint override (TELNYX_STT_BASE_URL) is covered by tests.
