Which API do you need, and how is it billed?

Nova-3 · Transcribe recordings or live audio: Start here for meetings, captions, or recorded calls. Speech-to-text costs depend on audio duration; separate channels and paid add-ons can change the total.
Flux STT · Listen and detect turns: Use it when a live agent needs to know when someone has finished speaking. Compare streaming transcription costs and test interruptions on your own calls.
Aura · Generate speech from text: Use it for spoken replies or narration. Compare voices and language support; billing is based on input characters, not the length of the generated audio.
Voice Agent · Run the conversation pipeline: Evaluate it if you want managed speech recognition, a language model and speech generation together. Budget for connection time, which can differ from minutes spoken.

Deepgram lists pay-as-you-go, prepaid Growth credits and custom Enterprise pricing. Use its official pricing page for current rates and plan limits. See the official model documentation for supported languages and features.

What to check for Indian audio

Deepgram lists Hindi for multilingual Flux STT. Test the exact model you intend to deploy on your own Hindi–English calls, accents and background noise. Check language support separately for transcription and generated voices. If data location matters, verify the processing region and retention terms for your deployment.

Estimate your Deepgram usage

For 2,000 five-minute support calls, start with 10,000 minutes of audio. If every call has two five-minute channels processed separately, budget for 20,000 channel-minutes. Apply the current transcription rate for your model and add any paid features you enable. For voice agents, track connection minutes separately from audio minutes; for text-to-speech, track input characters.

How to evaluate Deepgram before committing

Recorded calls: Test Nova-3 on a representative set of recordings. Check whether names, numbers and product terms survive transcription, and whether speaker labels are usable.
Live agents: Try Flux STT on real call conditions. Measure how often pauses or interruptions trigger a turn too early, and how long the system waits after the caller finishes.
Mixed-language calls: Score Hindi-only, Indian English and Hindi–English recordings separately. Use the model language matrix to confirm the right language setting before testing.
Procurement: Record your monthly volume, add-ons and peak concurrency. Confirm processing region and retention for the deployment you choose before you send sensitive recordings.

Deepgram questions for Indian teams

Does Deepgram support Hindi and Indian English?: Deepgram lists Hindi for Nova-3 and multilingual Flux STT. Nova-3 also lists Indian English (en-IN). Verify the model’s language list for the exact feature and language setting you need.
Is streaming transcription the same as Flux STT?: No. Nova-3 can transcribe a live stream. Flux STT adds turn detection for applications that need to decide when to respond to the caller.
Where can I check plans and INR options?: See Deepgram’s public rate card for vendor plans. See INR options through Arilator for listed packages and to register interest. Eligibility and package availability determine whether local purchasing is possible.
