Queue: Swift iOS live transcription (Swift) #78

Integration: Swift iOS

Why this is valuable

iOS has 1.5B+ active devices and Swift/SwiftUI is the standard for native development. Cross-platform examples (React Native, Flutter) exist, but native iOS developers need a Swift-first example with AVAudioEngine for optimal audio handling, especially for accessibility and health apps.

Suggested approach

Build a SwiftUI iOS app that captures microphone audio using AVAudioEngine, streams PCM audio via URLSessionWebSocketTask to Deepgram, and displays live transcription with a polished SwiftUI interface. Include proper Info.plist permissions and background audio mode.

Credentials needed

• DEEPGRAM_API_KEY
