We are developing a solution using Azure Cognitive Speech to Text service and have an issue with duplicate sentences being returned.
We have some cases with dual channel audio which appear to transcribe correctly with speaker channels. We have stereo audio in the input file.
I suspect the issue is the type of audio but is there any suggestions on why we may be seeing duplicate responses for a transcription for both channels?
The audio is a call recording between two people.
See example:

Hi @James Nicolson , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.
Are you using Batch Transcription/Custom speech? Is it possible to share the documentation link and code you are following?
Hello @VasaviLankipalle-MSFT we are using Batch Transcription and have built our code from https://eastus.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/speech-to-text-api-v3-1/operations/Transcriptions_Create documentation. I can send more detail to do on email if easier?
