Subscribe to live audio streams and receive transcript chunks as they're spoken. Agents can react to breaking news, live hearings, or earnings calls the moment words are said — not hours later.

Watch phrases, fire webhooks

Pair the live transcript feed with Sonar's trigger model to get JSON events when a topic, speaker, or exact phrase appears — latency measured in hundreds of milliseconds so your agent can act while the broadcast is still on air.
