Hi @Chatzopoulou, Eirini

Thank you for your question.

To automatically update the translation after changing the original transcript in Azure Speech Studio, set up Azure Speech SDK and Translator Text API, fetch the updated transcript using speech recognition, and translate it using the Translator Text API. Replace placeholders with your Azure keys and adjust the audio file path as necessary.

Below is a quick repro I tried at my end. Try to modify as per your use case requirements.

import os
import requests
from azure.cognitiveservices.speech import SpeechConfig, SpeechRecognizer, AudioConfig, ResultReason
# Azure Cognitive Services Speech subscription key and region
speech_key = "YOUR_SPEECH_KEY"
service_region = "YOUR_SPEECH_REGION"
# Azure Translator Text API endpoint and key
endpoint = "https://api.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com"
path = "/translate?api-version=3.0"
translation_key = "YOUR_TRANSLATION_KEY"
location = "TRANSLATION_REGION"
# Initialize speech recognizer
speech_config = SpeechConfig(subscription=speech_key, region=service_region)
audio_config = AudioConfig(filename="C://Users//Downloads//audio1.wav")
recognizer = SpeechRecognizer(speech_config=speech_config, audio_config=audio_config)
# Fetch the updated transcript
def get_updated_transcript():
    result = recognizer.recognize_once()
    if result.reason == ResultReason.RecognizedSpeech:
        return result.text
    else:
        print("No speech could be recognized")
        return None
# Translate the updated transcript
def translate_text(text, target_language="es"):  # Target language is Spanish (es) by default
    headers = {
        "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": translation_key,
        "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Region": location,
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    body = [{
        "text": text
    }]
    request = requests.post(f"{endpoint}{path}&to={target_language}", headers=headers, json=body)
    if request.status_code == 200:
        response = request.json()
        return response[0]["translations"][0]["text"]
    else:
        print(f"Error: {request.status_code} - {request.text}")
        return None
# Main function to update and translate
def main():
    updated_transcript = get_updated_transcript()
    if updated_transcript:
        translation = translate_text(updated_transcript)
        if translation:
            print("Updated Translation:", translation)
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Output:

I hope this helps. Thank you.
