This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (susurro-audio) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

}🔮 Use Cases
Real-time Voice Chat Applications
// Process voice messages as they arrive
conversational: {
onChunk: (chunk) => {
// Send to WebSocket, store in chat, trigger AI response
sendVoiceMessage(chunk.audioUrl, chunk.transcript)
}
}Voice-to-Text Transcription Services
// Batch process audio files with real-time feedback
conversational: {
onChunk: (chunk) => {
updateTranscriptionProgress(chunk.startTime, chunk.transcript)
}
}AI Voice Assistants
// Build ChatGPT-style voice interfaces
conversational: {
onChunk: async (chunk) => {
const aiResponse = await openai.chat.completions.create({
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: chunk.transcript }]
})
speakResponse(aiResponse.choices[0].message.content)
}
}🔧 Extension Points & Middleware
Susurro provides a powerful middleware system for extending chunk processing capabilities:
Chunk Middleware Pipeline
import { ChunkMiddlewarePipeline, translationMiddleware, sentimentMiddleware } from 'susurro'
function MyApp() {
const { middlewarePipeline, startRecording } = useSusurro({
conversational: {
onChunk: (chunk) => {
// Chunk has been processed through middleware pipeline
console.log('Enhanced chunk:', chunk.metadata)
}
}
})
// Enable built-in middlewares
useEffect(() => {
middlewarePipeline.enable('translation')
middlewarePipeline.enable('sentiment')
middlewarePipeline.enable('intent')
}, [])
return <VoiceInterface />
}Built-in Middlewares
1. Translation Middleware
middlewarePipeline.enable('translation')
// Chunks will include:
chunk.metadata = {
originalLanguage: 'en',
translatedText: 'Hola mundo',
translationConfidence: 0.95
}2. Sentiment Analysis Middleware
middlewarePipeline.enable('sentiment')
// Chunks will include:
chunk.metadata = {
sentiment: 'positive',
sentimentScore: 0.87,
emotion: 'happy'
}3. Intent Detection Middleware
middlewarePipeline.enable('intent')
// Chunks will include:
chunk.metadata = {
intent: 'question',
intentConfidence: 0.82,
entities: ['weather', 'today']
}4. Quality Enhancement Middleware (Always Enabled)
// Automatically applied to all chunks:
chunk.metadata = {
audioQuality: 0.92,
noiseLevel: 0.05,
clarity: 0.96,
enhancement: ['neural_denoising', 'voice_enhancement']
}Creating Custom Middleware
import { ChunkMiddleware, SusurroChunk } from 'susurro'
const customMiddleware: ChunkMiddleware = {
name: 'keyword-detection',
enabled: true,
priority: 5,
async process(chunk: SusurroChunk): Promise<SusurroChunk> {
const keywords = detectKeywords(chunk.transcript)
return {
...chunk,
metadata: {
...chunk.metadata,
keywords,
hasActionKeywords: keywords.some(k => k.type === 'action'),
urgencyLevel: calculateUrgency(keywords)
}
}
}
}
// Register your custom middleware
middlewarePipeline.register(customMiddleware)
function detectKeywords(text: string) {
// Your custom keyword detection logic
return [
{ word: 'urgent', type: 'urgency', confidence: 0.9 },
{ word: 'schedule', type: 'action', confidence: 0.8 }
]
}Advanced Hooks & Callbacks
1. Chunk Processing Hooks
const { conversationalChunks } = useSusurro({
conversational: {
onChunk: (chunk) => {
// Real-time processing as chunks arrive
handleNewMessage(chunk)
},
enableInstantTranscription: true,
chunkTimeout: 3000,
enableChunkEnrichment: true, // Enables middleware processing
}
})2. Recording State Hooks
const {
isRecording,
isProcessing,
averageVad,
processingStatus
} = useSusurro()
// Monitor recording state changes
useEffect(() => {
if (isRecording) {
console.log('Recording started')
}
}, [isRecording])
// Track processing progress
useEffect(() => {
console.log('VAD Score:', averageVad)
console.log('Processing Stage:', processingStatus.stage)
}, [averageVad, processingStatus])3. Whisper Integration Hooks
const {
whisperReady,
whisperProgress,
whisperError,
transcribeWithWhisper
} = useSusurro({
whisperConfig: {
language: 'en',
model: 'whisper-1',
temperature: 0.2
}
})
// Custom transcription with direct Whisper access
const handleCustomTranscription = async (audioBlob: Blob) => {
const result = await transcribeWithWhisper(audioBlob)
console.log('Custom transcription:', result)
}Middleware Management API
const { middlewarePipeline } = useSusurro()
// Enable/disable middlewares dynamically
middlewarePipeline.enable('sentiment')
middlewarePipeline.disable('translation')
// Check middleware status
const status = middlewarePipeline.getStatus()
console.log('Active middlewares:', status)
// Register custom middleware
middlewarePipeline.register(myCustomMiddleware)
// Remove middleware
middlewarePipeline.unregister('sentiment')WebSocket Integration Example
import { useSusurro } from 'susurro'
import { useWebSocket } from 'ws'
function CollaborativeVoiceChat() {
const ws = useWebSocket('wss://my-server.com/voice-chat')
const { startRecording, stopRecording } = useSusurro({
conversational: {
onChunk: (chunk) => {
// Send chunk to other participants
ws.send(JSON.stringify({
type: 'voice-chunk',
data: {
audioUrl: chunk.audioUrl,
transcript: chunk.transcript,
metadata: chunk.metadata,
userId: 'current-user-id'
}
}))
},
enableInstantTranscription: true
}
})
// Handle incoming chunks from other users
useEffect(() => {
ws.onmessage = (event) => {
const message = JSON.parse(event.data)
if (message.type === 'voice-chunk') {
displayRemoteChunk(message.data)
}
}
}, [ws])
return <VoiceInterface />
