Speech recognition text format

Question

Speech recognition text format

Hi 11

I have started to use Azure Cognitive services for Speech to Text API.

The quality of results are really good but the output is a monolithic bloc of text without any paragraph or newline.

I don’t see a way in the doc to get a well formatted output. Is that not possible ?

Thanks Mike

@Hi Thanks for the question. Can you please add more details about the version of STT API and output that you are getting. Also Please confirm are you using the STT API Batch Transcription API or Speech-to-text REST API for short audio.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for looking at my question.
I am using STT API 3.0 ( endpoint : https://southcentralus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/speechtotext/v3.0/transcriptions)

I am using the API Batch Transcription API since I am working with audio files.
I am then retrieving the JSON results and more specifically the property "display" from "combinedRecognizedPhrases".

The results are great but the format is not present. I just get a monolithic bloc of text.

Is there a way to get a formatted output with paragraphs, new line ?

Thanks a lot!

@Hi Thanks for the details. There is currently no formatting supported for paragraphs. You could use the single phrase results, It is not exactly a paragraph but might be better readable.
