Answer 1

Hello @prateek , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

I was able to reproduce successfully on my end. Could you please verify whether you are adding the right key and the region details from the speech resource?

COG_SERVICE_KEY=your_cognitive_services_key (ex: key1 or key2)

COG_SERVICE_REGION=your_cognitive_services_location (ex: eastus)

If you have added endpoint instead region, please correct it. Please try these and let us know.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Vasavi
