[Suggestion] Jupyter/Colab notebook for batch audio transcription and intelligence analysis (Python) #259

Description

@deepgram-robot

What to build

A ready-to-run Jupyter/Google Colab notebook that walks developers through batch audio transcription with Deepgram, including Audio Intelligence features (sentiment analysis, topic detection, summarization, entity recognition) — with inline visualizations of the results.

Why this matters

Data scientists and researchers evaluating STT providers typically work in notebook environments. A Colab notebook is the lowest-friction onboarding path — one click to open, paste an API key, and see results with zero local setup. This serves the growing intersection of speech AI and data science workflows: podcast analysis, call center analytics, research transcription, and content analysis pipelines. Notebooks also serve as living documentation that's more engaging than static code samples.

Suggested scope

  • Language: Python (Jupyter/Colab compatible)
  • Deepgram APIs: Pre-recorded STT (Nova-3), Audio Intelligence (sentiment, topics, summarization, entities)
  • Content:
    • Cell 1: Install SDK and configure API key
    • Cell 2: Transcribe a sample audio file (URL-based)
    • Cell 3: Transcribe with speaker diarization — visualize speaker timeline
    • Cell 4: Run Audio Intelligence — display sentiment timeline chart, topic clusters, entity table
    • Cell 5: Generate summary and key highlights
    • Cell 6: Export results to structured formats (JSON, CSV, SRT)
  • Visualizations: matplotlib/plotly charts for sentiment over time, speaker distribution pie chart
  • Complexity: Low — notebook cells are self-contained, each demonstrates one feature

Acceptance criteria

  • Runnable in Google Colab with zero local setup (one-click open)
  • README includes "Open in Colab" badge link
  • Uses current SDK version
  • Includes inline visualizations (sentiment timeline, speaker distribution)
  • Each cell is self-contained with markdown explanations
  • Works with both URL-based and file-upload audio sources
