About Deepgram

AIWatch Data: Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, Deepgram experienced 10 incidents with an average recovery time of 2h 55m.

Deepgram provides speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and voice agent APIs built for real-time use cases like voice agents and live transcription.

AIWatch Insight: AIWatch tracks Deepgram's overall API availability via probe-based health checks alongside official status.

When Deepgram is down, applications using real-time transcription for voice agents, live captions, or contact center streaming will lose their core functionality. Batch transcription jobs may queue but live UX breaks immediately.

This page provides real-time status and recent incident details; uptime history is shown only when the official source publishes sufficient comparable records — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.
