The Full Transcript feature provides a cumulative transcript that accumulates all transcription text received up to the current point in the session. This is useful for maintaining a complete transcript of the entire conversation or audio stream.

## Enabling Full Transcript

Add `full_transcript=true` to your WebSocket connection query parameters when connecting to the Pulse STT WebSocket API. The default is `false`.

### Real-Time WebSocket API

```javascript
const url = new URL("wss://waves-api.smallest.ai/api/v1/pulse/get_text");
url.searchParams.append("language", "en");
url.searchParams.append("encoding", "linear16");
url.searchParams.append("sample_rate", "16000");
url.searchParams.append("full_transcript", "true");

const ws = new WebSocket(url.toString(), {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
  },
});
```

## Output Format & Field of Interest

The `full_transcript` field contains the complete transcription text accumulated from the beginning of the session. This field is only included in responses where `full_transcript=true` query parameter is set AND `is_final=true`, ensuring you receive the complete transcript only when a segment is finalized.

## Sample Response

```json
{
  "session_id": "sess_12345abcde",
  "transcript": "How are you doing today?",
  "is_final": true,
  "is_last": false,
  "full_transcript": "Hello, my name is John. How are you doing today?",
  "language": "en",
  "languages": ["en"]
}
```
