Greetings!

To monitor your Speech Service models and enable alerts, you can utilize Azure Monitor and diagnostic logs. Azure Monitor helps you collect and analyze telemetry data, set up alerts, and visualize metrics. Diagnostic logs provide detailed information about the service's operations, which can be crucial for troubleshooting.

For real-time transcription, it is important to note that the rate limit metric is not provided directly. Instead, you can monitor concurrent connections, as real-time transcription operates with open connections to flow information rather than discrete request-response transactions.

To set up monitoring and alerts, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Azure portal and navigate to your Speech Service resource.
2. Under the "Monitoring" section, configure diagnostic settings to send logs to Azure Monitor.
3. Set up metrics and alerts in Azure Monitor to notify you of any issues or threshold breaches.

For understanding the rate limits for other speech resources, refer to the Azure documentation on Speech Service quotas and limits. This documentation provides detailed information on the allowed transactions per second (TPS) for different resources.
