We are having issues using elevenlabs scribe transcription model with custom LLM. When someone speaks, our server endpoint is never hit. However, issue does not occur with deepgram.

Hi there! I understand you're having issues with the ElevenLabs Scribe Transcription Model not triggering your server endpoint when someone speaks, while Deepgram works fine. Let me help you troubleshoot this! 🔍 Based on what I've found, there are several key differences between ElevenLabs and Deepgram that might be causing this issue: ### Potential Causes 1. Endpointing Configuration - Deepgram has an aggressive default endpointing value (10ms) that can be adjusted to 300ms for better results - If ElevenLabs doesn't have similar endpointing configuration options, this could affect when server endpoints get triggered 2. Confidence Thresholds - Deepgram filters transcriptions based on confidence scores, which might differ from how ElevenLabs handles low-confidence transcriptions ### Troubleshooting Steps 1. Check Server URL and Endpoint Configuration - Ensure your server URL in the Vapi Dashboard is correct and accessible from outside your network - Verify that your endpoint is set up to receive POST requests 2. Test Manually - Use tools like Postman or cURL to manually send a POST request to your endpoint to confirm it's functioning correctly 3. Review SSE Response Format - Make sure your LLM is sending a streaming response in SSE format to Vapi - Verify the response is properly structured and terminates with "data: [DONE]\n\n" 4. Check Custom LLM Configuration - Ensure your custom LLM includes the necessary tools for interacting with ElevenLabs - Verify your model configuration includes the correct provider, URL, model, and tools 5. Examine Server Logs - Look for any errors in your server logs that might prevent the webhook from being called ### Additional Considerations - Network issues or firewalls might be blocking the required traffic - Recent configuration changes could have affected webhook functionality
- Language model specificity might be causing issues if ElevenLabs handles certain accents or languages differently than Deepgram Let me know if you need more specific guidance on any of these areas! 👍 Sources: - [Troubleshooting ElevenLabs Scribe Transcription Integration](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1326809606671958080) - [Custom LLM Configuration](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1332287510964994078) - [Endpointing Configuration](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1343636482874933340) - [Transcription Confidence](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1333510134617604147)

Hey Meran, taking a look at the logs it seems like the websocket connection with elevenlabs was experiencing issues. Could you test again and let me know how it goes?
