livekit-plugins-deepgram
Agent Framework plugin for services using Deepgram's API.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and integrates cleanly into the LiveKit ecosystem with low install friction. Install it if you are building LiveKit Agents that need Deepgram's speech-to-text or text-to-speech services. You will need a Deepgram API key to use it.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid Deepgram API key set as the DEEPGRAM_API_KEY environment variable; Python 3.10 or later (requires_python >=3.10.0).
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- Actively maintained with a release on 2026-08-13 and no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
This package is a plugin that bridges Deepgram's voice AI platform with LiveKit Agents, enabling speech-to-text and text-to-speech capabilities in agent-based applications. It wraps Deepgram's API behind the livekit-agents framework, allowing developers to add voice transcription and synthesis to real-time communication workflows.
The plugin is designed for applications that need to process voice in real-time—such as live transcription, voice-driven agents, or automated voice responses. It depends on livekit-agents for framework integration and numpy for numerical operations, and requires a Deepgram API key to function.
Use it for
- Add live transcription to video conferencing applications powered by LiveKit Agents.
- Build voice-controlled agents that understand and respond to spoken input.
- Implement automated voice responses in real-time communication systems.
- Create accessibility features that transcribe or synthesize speech in agent workflows.
