# Endpoints and Regions for third-party STT providers
<a name="endpoints-regions-third-party-stt"></a>

By default, Amazon Connect communicates with the following endpoints:

**Deepgram**: [https://api.deepgram.com](https://api.deepgram.com)

**ElevenLabs**: [https://api.elevenlabs.io](https://api.elevenlabs.io)

You can specify a different provider Region alongside your API key as part of the JSON object:

```
{
  "apiToken": "XXXXX",
  "apiTokenRegion": "xx"
}
```

The following regions are supported:


| **Provider** | **apiTokenRegion** | **Endpoint** |
