I wan to use Azure Cognitive Services – Conversation Transcription to identify the speakers in the audio and transcribe it to text.

Azure Cognitive Services – Conversation Transcription uses the sample audio of a speaker to create the voice signature.

My question is after creating the voice signature is the data being store at rest or it will be getting deleted after some times.

    @Vinayak Pote Please see this page on how the enrollment data is used by Microsoft at different stages of speaker recognition when used with conversation transcription. To summarize, the enrolled audio is associated with a GUID that is unique to the enrollment audio and the voice signature, these are all securely stored in the customer’s Azure tenancy.

    Microsoft is not able to connect any customer names, IDs (other than the random GUID), or other personal information to the enrollment audio, voice signatures, or passphrase signatures. Developers can create, update, and delete enrollment data (both the voice signature and related enrollment audio) for individual speaker through API calls. When the subscription is deleted, all the speaker enrollment data associated with the subscription is also deleted.

    So, if you plan to keep the enrollment and voice signature you have control over the data and is associated with the GUID until it is deleted by the user. So, all data is encrypted at rest and is only deleted if the user wants to delete it. Thanks!!
