How to pass different audio codecs to Symbl endpoint

The code is available here:

Sometimes you need to pass different audio codecs when passing the audio. This example shows how to pass them. The ones currently supported are

[OPUS](https://opus-codec.org/):
  - Supported Sample Rates -- 16000Hz, 24000Hz,48000Hz
  - Both CBR (Constant Bitrate) and VBR (Variable Bitrate) are supported
  - Support for in-band FEC

  [SPEEX](https://www.speex.org/):
    - Supported Sample Rates -- 16000Hz
    - VBR is not supported

  [LINEAR16](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2586)
    - Supported Sample Rates -- 44100Hz

  [MULAW](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.711#%CE%BC-law)
    - Supported Sample Rates -- 8000Hz

Getting started#

View on Github

Open .env file and add your APP_ID, APP_SECRET, SUMMARY_EMAIL. You can get APP_ID and APP_SECRET from https://platform.symbl.ai

we will use symbl-node package.

require('dotenv').config()

const {sdk} = require('symbl-node')

Let's start by initialising symbl-node sdk

await sdk.init({
  appId: process.env.APP_ID,
  appSecret: process.env.APP_SECRET,
  basePath: 'https://api.symbl.ai',
})

Now after we initialised, we need to start the connection by running

const connection = await sdk.startEndpoint(endpointConfig)

So how do you pass custom codecs? It's as simple as passing custom audio config

          endpoint: {
            //*****************Custom Audio Config******************
            audioConfig: {
              encoding: 'OPUS',
              sampleRate: 16000,
            },
            //******************************************************
            type: 'pstn',
            phoneNumber: process.env.DEFAULT_PHONE_NUMBER,
          },

If you have a requirement to use a codec not included in the ones above or have any other queries, please drop an e-mail to support@symbl.ai.
