Greetings!

To improve the transcription accuracy of multilingual audio files using Azure Speech Service, it is advisable to use the Continuous Language Identification feature. This feature is specifically designed to handle audio files with multiple spoken languages by automatically identifying and transcribing the different languages present.

By enabling Continuous Language Identification, the service can more accurately transcribe audio content where two or more languages are spoken. For detailed instructions on how to implement this feature, you can refer to the Azure documentation on language identification.

Hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, please let me know. I would be happy to help.
