When using external STT (e.g. Scaleway’s OpenAI-compatible Audio Transcriptions API), backends often only accept formats like
oggandwav, notwebm/mp4. The client’sMediaRecorderwas preferringaudio/webmandaudio/mp4first, which led to “Invalid file format” (400) on those backends.Change: In
useSpeechToTextExternal.ts, the order ingetBestSupportedMimeType()is updated so Scaleway-compatible formats are tried first:audio/ogg;codecs=opus,audio/ogg,audio/wav, thenaudio/webm,audio/webm;codecs=opus,audio/mp4. The logic still usesMediaRecorder.isTypeSupported(), so only formats the browser supports are used.Testing: Verified with Scaleway STT (model
whisper-large-v3) and Firefox; recording uses ogg and transcription succeeds. OpenAI Whisper also supports ogg/wav, so behavior for other compatible backends is unchanged.
