+# WebSocket Implementation for NuralVoiceSTT
+
+**Developed by Blink Digital**
+
+This document explains how to use the WebSocket-enabled version of NuralVoiceSTT on Hugging Face Spaces.
+
+## Two App Options
+
+### Option 1: Standard Gradio App (`app.py`)
+- **File**: `app.py`
+- **Features**: Gradio UI with optimized streaming
+- **Best for**: Browser-based transcription with UI
+- **URL**: Your Space's main URL
+
+### Option 2: FastAPI + Gradio Hybrid (`app_websocket.py`)
+- **File**: `app_websocket.py`
+- **Features**: 
+  - Gradio UI at `/gradio`
+  - WebSocket API at `/ws/transcribe`
+  - FastAPI REST endpoints at root
+- **Best for**: Programmatic access with WebSocket support
+- **URLs**:
+  - UI: `https://YOUR-SPACE.hf.space/gradio`
+  - WebSocket: `wss://YOUR-SPACE.hf.space/ws/transcribe`
+
+## Switching Between Apps
+
+To use the WebSocket version:
+
+1. **Update README.md** in your Space:
+   ```yaml
+   ---
+   title: NuralVoiceSTT Playground
+   emoji: 🎤
+   colorFrom: blue
+   colorTo: purple
+   sdk: docker  # Change to docker for FastAPI support
+   app_file: app_websocket.py  # Change this line
+   pinned: false
+   license: apache-2.0
+   ---
+   ```
+
+2. **Or rename files**:
+   - Rename `app.py` to `app_gradio.py`
+   - Rename `app_websocket.py` to `app.py`
+
+## WebSocket API Usage
+
+### JavaScript Example
+
+```javascript
+const ws = new WebSocket('wss://YOUR-SPACE.hf.space/ws/transcribe');
+
+ws.onopen = () => {
+    console.log('Connected to WebSocket');
+};
+
+ws.onmessage = (event) => {
+    const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
+    if (data.text) {
+        console.log('Transcription:', data.text);
+        console.log('Is Final:', data.is_final);
+    }
+};
+
+// Send audio chunks (16-bit PCM, 16kHz, mono)
+// Audio should be sent as binary data (ArrayBuffer)
+ws.send(audioBuffer);
+
+// Stop recording
+ws.send(JSON.stringify({ action: 'stop' }));
+```
+
+### Python Example
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+import websockets
+import json
+import numpy as np
+import soundfile as sf
+
+async def transcribe_audio():
+    uri = "wss://YOUR-SPACE.hf.space/ws/transcribe"
+    
+    async with websockets.connect(uri) as websocket:
+        # Receive connection confirmation
+        response = await websocket.recv()
+        print("Connected:", json.loads(response))
+        
+        # Load audio file
+        audio, sample_rate = sf.read("audio.wav")
+        
+        # Convert to 16-bit PCM
+        if audio.dtype != np.int16:
+            audio = (audio * 32767).astype(np.int16)
+        
+        # Send audio in chunks
+        chunk_size = 4000
+        audio_bytes = audio.tobytes()
+        
+        for i in range(0, len(audio_bytes), chunk_size):
+            chunk = audio_bytes[i:i+chunk_size]
+            await websocket.send(chunk)
+            
+            # Receive transcription
+            try:
+                response = await websocket.recv()
+                data = json.loads(response)
+                if data.get('text'):
+                    print(f"Transcription: {data['text']}")
+            except:
+                pass
+        
+        # Stop and get final result
+        await websocket.send(json.dumps({"action": "stop"}))
+        final = await websocket.recv()
+        print("Final:", json.loads(final))
+
+asyncio.run(transcribe_audio())
+```
+
+## Real-Time Browser Audio Streaming
+
+```javascript
+// Get microphone stream
+navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ audio: true })
+    .then(stream => {
+        const audioContext = new AudioContext({ sampleRate: 16000 });
+        const source = audioContext.createMediaStreamSource(stream);
+        const processor = audioContext.createScriptProcessor(4096, 1, 1);
+        
+        processor.onaudioprocess = (e) => {
+            if (ws.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
+                const inputData = e.inputBuffer.getChannelData(0);
+                const pcm16 = new Int16Array(inputData.length);
+                
+                // Convert float32 to int16
+                for (let i = 0; i < inputData.length; i++) {
+                    pcm16[i] = Math.max(-32768, Math.min(32767, inputData[i] * 32768));
+                }
+                
+                // Send to WebSocket
+                ws.send(pcm16.buffer);
+            }
+        };
+        
+        source.connect(processor);
+        processor.connect(audioContext.destination);
+    });
+```
+
+## API Endpoints (FastAPI Version)
+
+### GET `/`
+Returns API information
+
+### GET `/health`
+Health check endpoint
+
+### WebSocket `/ws/transcribe`
+Real-time audio transcription endpoint
+
+## Response Format
+
+```json
+{
+    "text": "transcribed text here",
+    "is_final": false,
+    "is_partial": true
+}
+```
+
+- `is_final: true` - Final transcription for a chunk
+- `is_final: false, is_partial: true` - Partial/ongoing transcription
+- `is_final: false, is_partial: false` - Final result with word timestamps
+
+## Requirements
+
+Both versions require the same dependencies (see `requirements.txt`):
+- `gradio>=4.0.0`
+- `vosk>=0.3.45`
+- `huggingface-hub>=0.16.0`
+- `numpy>=1.21.0`
+- `fastapi>=0.100.0` (for WebSocket version)
+- `uvicorn>=0.23.0` (for WebSocket version)
+- `websockets>=11.0` (for WebSocket version)
+
+## Performance
+
+- **WebSocket**: True real-time streaming with minimal latency (~100-200ms)
+- **Gradio Streaming**: Optimized incremental processing (~200-500ms latency)
+
+Choose based on your use case:
+- **WebSocket**: Best for programmatic access, custom UIs, low latency
+- **Gradio**: Best for quick testing, browser-based UI, ease of use

+    
+    **Developed by Blink Digital**
+    
+    NuralVoiceSTT is a high-accuracy English speech-to-text model optimized for both callcenter and wideband audio scenarios.
+    
+    ### WebSocket API Usage
+    
+    Connect to the WebSocket endpoint for programmatic real-time transcription:
+    
+    ```javascript
+    const ws = new WebSocket('wss://YOUR-SPACE.hf.space/ws/transcribe');
+    ws.onmessage = (event) => {
+        const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
+        console.log('Transcription:', data.text);
+    };
+    // Send audio chunks as binary data (16-bit PCM, 16kHz)
+    ws.send(audioBuffer);
+    ```
