Microsoft: fix captioning by Speech Studio

Question

The captioning functionality in the Speech Studio is an utter failure.

Step 2:
Create an Azure Speech Service Resource if you don't have one.

.

Step 3:
After the Azure Speech Service is created, you need to open this Speech Resource and then Click on Go To Speech Studio:

Navigate to the Captioning with Speech to text feature as shown below:

Click on the Try it Out option --> Try with your own video--> Check the Acknowledgment checkbox.

Upload your video file. After the captioning is complete the video appears, and you can adjust the lines and length below:

Step 4:
If you want to use this feature from Visual Studio, the sample code is already available here. You don't need to write any code from scratch.

Hope this helps.
