Core Features of Azure Custom Speech Service

Azure Custom Speech Service offers advanced speech to text capabilities, supporting real-time and batch transcription for converting audio streams into text. The core features include real-time transcription, fast transcription for quick results, batch transcription for processing large volumes of audio, and custom speech models for enhanced accuracy in specific domains.

Real-Time Speech to Text Transcription

Real-time speech to text transcribes audio as it's recognized, making it ideal for applications like live meetings, diarization, pronunciation assessment, call center support, dictation, and voice agents. Accessible through the Speech SDK, Speech CLI, and REST API, real-time transcription provides immediate results for live audio streams.

Fast Transcription for Quick Results

The fast transcription API delivers synchronous results faster than real-time for scenarios requiring quick transcription, such as video subtitling and translations. It is used to transcribe audio files with predictable latency, providing rapid output for audio recordings that need immediate transcription.

Efficient Batch Transcription for Large Volumes

Batch transcription is designed for processing large amounts of prerecorded audio files efficiently. It is suitable for transcribing stored audio content, contact center analytics, and diarization tasks. Accessible through the Speech to text REST API and Speech CLI, batch transcription facilitates asynchronous processing and analysis of recorded audio.

Custom Speech Models for Enhanced Accuracy

Custom speech models enable users to improve speech recognition accuracy for specific applications by training models with domain-specific vocabulary and audio data. Custom speech can enhance recognition in various scenarios, such as domain-specific terminology and challenging audio conditions. Users can tailor the speech recognition model to better suit their application's needs, making it particularly useful for specialized fields and unique audio requirements.

Practical Examples of Azure AI Speech to Text Usage

Azure AI speech to text can be utilized in various scenarios like live meeting transcriptions, customer service enhancement, video subtitling, and educational tools. Integrating real-time speech to text with the Speech SDK can provide live captions for virtual events, while using fast transcription can quickly generate subtitles for videos. Custom speech models can be used to enhance recognition accuracy in educational tools by training models with relevant text data.

Difference Between Base Model and Custom Speech to Text Model

A base speech to text model is pre-trained with Microsoft-owned data and deployed in the cloud. Custom models are tailored to specific environments with unique ambient noise or language requirements. Custom models are ideal for settings like factory floors, cars, or noisy streets needing adapted acoustic models, and for domains like biology, physics, or custom acronyms requiring specific language models. Training a custom model involves enhancing recognition by incorporating domain-specific terms and phrases.
