Real-Time Microphone Transcription (Next.js)

Live speech-to-text transcription using ElevenLabs Scribe v2 real-time API with Voice Activity Detection (VAD).

Setup

1. Copy the environment file and add your API key:

   cp .env.example .env

   Then edit .env and paste your ElevenLabs API key.

2. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install

Run

pnpm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Usage

• Click Start and allow microphone access when prompted.
