Discord, the leading communication platform for gamers and communities, is designed for seamless communication with other users, be it through text channels, DMs, 1-1 calls or even collective voice channels.
Based on multiple request from our Discord members, we’ve built a custom JavaScript bot that makes use of Gladia’s live transcription API to transcribe speech in real time directly on the Discord server.
First, you can transcribe voice in real time directly on Discord’s voice channels. Ex. you’re streaming a game on Discord and want to access some learnings and tips received during the sessions. Or, you’re having your group gathers on the platform and want to be able to review the talking points after – just like with any other virtual meeting platform.
Beyond that, a bot like this could be used for real-time moderation to flag hate speech and ban users. With additional tools like ChatGPT, you could also create command-based notes to provide meeting summaries and helps you catch up with meetings you may have missed.

Create a Discord bot that you'd like to use for transcription. If you’ve never built one before, here’s a useful resource to help.
First, install all the required package by running:
Then, you will to setup the index.js script with your Discord keys, guild ID (Server ID), and the Voice Channel ID.
Sign up for our speech-to-text API at app.gladia.io and obtain your API key. Documentation for Gladia live transcription can be found here.
Once everything is set up properly, simply run:
Your bot should then join the channel corresponding to the channel ID you configured in the index.js file.
Bear in mind that the current v1 implementation of the bot is not fully optimized, so you might experiences inaccuracy regarding language changes & words.
And you’re good to go!

We hope you enjoyed this short tutorial. Given how much audio data still goes to wasted, we’re always curious to explore the many ways in which transcription tech can be used to remedy that. Let us know if you went on to build a bot or used our API for others apps on Discord or beyond, we’d love to hear from you.
At Gladia, we built an optimized version of Whisper in the form of an API, adapted to real-life use cases and distinguished by exceptional accuracy, speed, extended multilingual capabilities and state-of-the-art features, including speaker diarization and word-level timestamps.

In our previous article, we discussed how to unlock some of that data by building a speaker diarization system for online meetings (POC) to identify speakers in audio streams and provide organizations with detailed speaker-based insights into meetings, create meeting summaries, action items, and more.
