# Transcribe Spoken Chat Audio

`POST /api/v1/stt/transcribe`

Transcribe a short browser-recorded clip with the voice-stack STT.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- SpeakToChatTranscriptRead — Transcript of a short browser-recorded clip. ``text`` is empty when Deepgram heard no speech. The composer stays usable; the client shows a clear 'couldn't hear anything' error rather than sending an empty message.
  - `text` string, required

## Other responses

- `400` — Empty, oversized, or unsupported audio
- `422` — Validation Error
- `502` — Speech-to-text provider failed
- `503` — Speech-to-text is not configured
