Streams microphone or file audio through the ElevenLabs-compatible allmodels route.

import { ElevenLabsClient } from "elevenlabs";

const client = new ElevenLabsClient({
  apiKey: process.env.ALLMODELS_API_KEY,
  baseUrl: "https://api.allmodels.io/el"
});

const connection = await client.speechToText.realtime.connect({
  modelId: "soniox/stt-async-v5",
  languageCode: "en"
}, {
  queryParams: {
    provider: {
      "only": [
        "soniox"
      ]
