Queue: Swift iOS live transcription (Swift) #78
Description
Integration: Swift iOS
Why this is valuable
iOS has 1.5B+ active devices and Swift/SwiftUI is the standard for native development. Cross-platform examples (React Native, Flutter) exist, but native iOS developers need a Swift-first example with AVAudioEngine for optimal audio handling, especially for accessibility and health apps.
Suggested approach
Build a SwiftUI iOS app that captures microphone audio using AVAudioEngine, streams PCM audio via URLSessionWebSocketTask to Deepgram, and displays live transcription with a polished SwiftUI interface. Include proper Info.plist permissions and background audio mode.
Credentials needed
- DEEPGRAM_API_KEY
