Muse Voice Transcribe in LiveKit Agents
Meta's real-time speech-to-text model is now a ready-made plugin in LiveKit Agents, an open-source framework developers use to build voice agents.
Details
- Install the livekit-agents[meta] package in Python or @livekit/agents-plugin-meta in Node.js. The default model is muse-voice-transcribe-1.0
- Streams live audio and returns running transcripts, and detects on its own when a speaker has finished talking
- A keywords setting steers spelling for names and industry vocabulary, and a language setting can favor one of 25 supported languages per stream, including English, Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese
- The plugin does not support telling speakers apart, transcribing recorded files, or changing keywords mid-stream, and each live session caps at 60 minutes
- Requires a Meta Model API key. Neither Meta nor LiveKit lists pricing for it
Best for
Voice agents that need to turn a caller's speech into text as they talk, including names and brand terms.
When to use it
You already build voice agents on LiveKit and want Meta's transcription model without writing your own connection to it.
Who benefits
Developers building phone agents, customer-facing voice assistants, or live support tools.
