@corti/ambient-web

Web components for real-time, multi-speaker ambient streaming on the Corti Streams API.

All-in-one: <corti-ambient> — recording button, settings (device, language, virtual mode by default), keyboard shortcuts, and theming
Modular: <ambient-root> plus <ambient-recording-button>, <ambient-settings-menu>, and selectors for custom layouts

Note: OAuth 2.0 authentication is not handled by this library. The client must provide an authorization token or token refresh function while using the component. Each ambient session also requires an interactionId.

For single-speaker dictation with voice commands, use @corti/dictation-web instead.

Installation

npm i @corti/ambient-web
# yarn add @corti/ambient-web
# pnpm add @corti/ambient-web

import "@corti/ambient-web";
// or: import { CortiAmbient } from "@corti/ambient-web";

CDN (quick try only):

<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@corti/ambient-web/dist/bundle.js"></script>

Quick start

<corti-ambient
  id="ambient"
  interactionId="<your-interaction-id>"
></corti-ambient>

<script type="module">
  import "@corti/ambient-web";

  const ambientEl = document.getElementById("ambient");

  ambientEl.addEventListener("ready", () => {
    ambientEl.accessToken = "<your-access-token>";
  });

  ambientEl.addEventListener("transcript", (e) => {
    for (const segment of e.detail.data) {
      console.log(segment.transcript);
    }
  });
</script>

Virtual mode

Include virtualMode in settingsEnabled to show the Virtual mode toggle in the settings menu (included by default on <corti-ambient>). Add keybinding to expose shortcut configuration in settings:

<corti-ambient
  interactionId="<your-interaction-id>"
  settingsEnabled="device,language,virtualMode"
></corti-ambient>

When enabled, the browser prompts for tab/window/application audio; that stream is mixed with the microphone (mic left channel, shared audio right).

Modular layout

<ambient-root id="ambientRoot" interactionId="<your-interaction-id>">
  <ambient-recording-button></ambient-recording-button>
  <ambient-settings-menu settingsEnabled="device,language,keybinding,virtualMode"></ambient-settings-menu>
</ambient-root>

<script type="module">
  import "@corti/ambient-web";

  const root = document.getElementById("ambientRoot");
  root.addEventListener("ready", () => {
    root.accessToken = "<your-access-token>";
  });
</script>

Component	Role
`<ambient-root>`	Context provider (auth, config, interaction ID, virtual mode)
`<ambient-recording-button>`	Start/stop with audio visualization
`<ambient-settings-menu>`	Device, language, keybinding, and virtual mode UI
`<ambient-device-selector>`	Device dropdown
`<ambient-language-selector>`	Language dropdown
`<ambient-keybinding-selector>`	Push-to-talk / toggle-to-talk keys
`<ambient-virtual-mode-selector>`	Virtual mode toggle

Keybindings

Defaults: Enter (toggle-to-talk), Space (push-to-talk). Key names (event.key) and codes (event.code) are supported. Shortcuts are ignored while focus is in inputs. If both modes use the same key, toggle-to-talk wins.

Configure on <corti-ambient> or <ambient-root>:

<corti-ambient toggleToTalkKeybinding="Enter" pushToTalkKeybinding="Space"></corti-ambient>
