How to undo ITN formatting in Azure Speech SDK?

Question

In the above image the 4 lines are in the given order: Lexical text, ITN text, Masked ITN Text and lastly Display text.

I understand that ITN is the process that converts the "ten percent" to "10%". My question is, is there a way to convert the "ten" to "10" but not the "percent"? I don't want the ITN formatting to happen for words like "percent", "dollar" etc. but I do want it to happen on numbers and other things.

Hi @Ritvij Sharma ,

Thank you for using the Microsoft Q&A forum.

To address your query, you can use the "format" query parameter to specify the output format of the API response. By default, the API response is in "Simple" format, which includes only the recognized text. However, you can use the "Detailed" format to obtain N-Best results in JSON format.

By specifying the "Detailed" format query parameter, the API response will include all the available text formats, such as "Display", "ITN", "Lexical", and "MaskedITN". The "ITN" format will display numbers as numerical values instead of text. You can retrieve this response from the API and integrate it into your application.

You can find a comprehensive list of all the supported query parameters for the Speech-to-text on this page

Thank you!

I hope this helps.
