[Suggestion] Voice Agent with live conversation export to JSON, SRT, and WebVTT (TypeScript)

[deepgram-robot]

What to build

A TypeScript recipe that captures a Deepgram Voice Agent conversation and exports it in real-time to multiple transcript formats — JSON (structured with speaker labels and timestamps), SRT (subtitles), and WebVTT (web captions) — enabling immediate post-conversation access to formatted transcripts.

Why this matters

Voice agent conversations generate valuable transcript data, but developers must build their own export pipeline to get transcripts in usable formats. Common needs include JSON for database storage and search, SRT for video captioning, and WebVTT for web-based caption display. This recipe shows how to accumulate conversation turns from the Voice Agent API and format them into industry-standard transcript formats in real-time, so transcripts are available the moment a conversation ends — no post-processing required.

Suggested scope

• Language: TypeScript
• Deepgram APIs: Voice Agent API
• Features: Real-time conversation turn accumulation with speaker labels (agent vs user), word-level timestamp tracking, concurrent export to JSON (structured), SRT (numbered cues with timestamps), and WebVTT (with speaker identification and styling), file output on conversation end
• Output formats: JSON with metadata, SRT, WebVTT
• Complexity: Low-to-moderate — event accumulation and format serialization

Acceptance criteria

• Runnable with minimal setup (clone, add API key, run)
• README explains the pattern clearly
• Uses current SDK version
• Exports to all three formats (JSON, SRT, WebVTT) from a single conversation
• Includes accurate timestamps and speaker attribution
• WebVTT output is valid and playable in browsers
• SRT output follows standard subtitle formatting

Queued by PM — Engineer will pick this up as a priority:user recipe.

Ooo, we'll get right on that! We'll build a Voice Agent conversation export to JSON, SRT, and WebVTT recipe for you in JavaScript/TypeScript. This has been queued for the Engineer — it'll get priority as a user request.

Note: this repo organizes JS/TS recipes under the javascript language directory, so we'll place it there. The scope is ambitious for a single recipe, so the Engineer may adapt it to fit our <50 line recipe standard — potentially focusing on one format or splitting into focused recipes.
