  description: The DeepL Voice API provides real-time speech transcription and translation. A POST to /v3/voice/realtime issues
    an ephemeral token and WebSocket streaming URL; clients then open a WSS channel to stream source audio chunks and receive
    incremental source-language transcriptions, translated transcriptions, and (closed beta) synthesized translated audio.
    There is no documented webhook callback URL on the REST APIs; document translation remains polling-based.
