Wait for inbound `transcript.transcript === "EOF"`, close the socket, then call [End Dictation session](/api-reference/audio-transcription/end-session). Do not send ambient `RU9G`. This cookbook assumes you already have your Partner ID, authentication tokens, and an active Dictation `transcription_session_id`. ```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-dark","dark":"material-theme-darker"}} // After Dictation AUDIO chunks that use audioData (not ambient data): // ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: "AUDIO", audioData: base64PcmChunk })); ws.send(JSON.stringify({ type: "EVENT", event: "AUDIO_END" })); await new Promise((resolve, reject) => { ws.onmessage = (event) => { try { const payload = JSON.parse(String(event.data)); if (payload?.transcript?.transcript === "EOF") { resolve(); } } catch (err) { reject(err); } }; ws.onerror = () => reject(new Error("WebSocket error while waiting for EOF")); }); ws.close(); const endRes = await fetch( `https://sdp.suki.ai/api/v1/transcription/session/${transcriptionSessionId}/end`, { method: "POST", headers: { sdp_suki_token: sdpSukiToken, sdp_provider_id: sdpProviderId, }, } ); if (!endRes.ok) { throw new Error(`End Dictation session failed: ${endRes.status}`); } ``` ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-dark","dark":"material-theme-darker"}} import json import requests # After Dictation AUDIO chunks that use audioData (not ambient data): # ws.send(json.dumps({"type": "AUDIO", "audioData": base64_pcm_chunk})) ws.send(json.dumps({"type": "EVENT", "event": "AUDIO_END"})) while True: raw = ws.recv() payload = json.loads(raw) transcript = (payload.get("transcript") or {}).get("transcript") if transcript == "EOF": break ws.close() end = requests.post( f"https://sdp.suki.ai/api/v1/transcription/session/{transcription_session_id}/end", headers={ "sdp_suki_token": sdp_suki_token, "sdp_provider_id": sdp_provider_id, }, ) end.raise_for_status() ``` ## Common mistakes * Send `{ "type": "AUDIO", "data": "RU9G" }` on Dictation. That marker is ambient-only. * Close the socket or call REST end before you receive inbound **`EOF`**. * Open `/ws/transcribe` again before the session returns to `READY` or `IDLE`. ## Other cookbooks
