hi!
So I'd like to transcribe multiple audio files using a customized model from Azure and continuous speech recognition. I don't want to use the batch transcription, I want to transcribe multiple files from my computer simultaneously. Is this possible using the python script shown here? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/get-started-speech-to-text?tabs=windowsinstall&pivots=programming-language-python
Every time I try to test more than one audio file simultaneously I get the following error:
RuntimeError: Exception with an error code: 0x8 (SPXERR_FILE_OPEN_FAILED)
[CALL STACK BEGIN]
Also, I'm trying to get the confidence per word. Is this possible in python? I've seen this command in other questions but doesn't seem to work.
config.output_format = speechsdk.OutputFormat(1)
Maybe it's doing something but it doesn't return anything?

Hi, thanks for reaching out. One approach could be to loop through files in a directory and then transcribe. Regarding getting confidence per word, I only found examples for C#, I'm making some inquiries and will share updates for python accordingly.
Thanks! The loop worked.
Apart from the confidence per word, is there a way to get the type or error?
When running tests in Speech Studio, Azure returns the percentage of error for the tested model and the types or errors committed (substitution, deletion or insertion). Is it possible to get this info in Python as well?
Thanks
