npx extraorbital add gladia

ExtraOrbital provisions a virtual Gladia key for live session creation and results. Audio connects directly to Gladia over the returned WebSocket.

Connect the SDK

The CLI writes EXTRAORBITAL_GLADIA_KEY and GLADIA_BASE_URL.

import { GladiaClient } from "@gladiaio/sdk";

const client = new GladiaClient({
  apiKey: process.env.EXTRAORBITAL_GLADIA_KEY,
  apiUrl: process.env.GLADIA_BASE_URL,
  httpTimeout: 90_000,
  httpRetry: { maxAttempts: 1 },
});
const session = client.liveV2().startSession({
  encoding: "wav/pcm",
  sample_rate: 16000,
  bit_depth: 16,
  channels: 1,
});

Use the session's audio sending and stop methods normally. Keep the virtual key on your backend and avoid logging session URLs or tokens.

Usage and lifecycle

Live transcription spends the same credit as your other resources. Insufficient credit blocks new sessions. Already-open audio connections run to completion. This integration supports live session creation and results; it does not expose Gladia's prerecorded upload or account-wide transcript APIs.
