Migrating

Migrating from Google Cloud Speech-to-Text

Config mapping, credential model differences, and feature parity.

Key differences

  • GCP uses service account JSON credentials. Shunyalabs uses a simple Bearer API key — no credential file needed.
  • GCP requires specifying encoding and sampleRateHertz explicitly. Shunyalabs auto-detects from the file.
  • GCP long-running jobs use an async polling model. Shunyalabs returns synchronously for files up to 15 minutes.
