    Hi @Vidyadhar Busam,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum!

    Based on the sample you provided, it appears that the Speech-to-Text service is not detecting the word 'No' at the 57th second in the given WAV file. This could be due to the initial and intermittent silence timeouts used by the service to detect the start and end of speech segments.

    We suggest checking if the issue is reproducible with other WAV files and ensuring that the WAV file meets the requirements of the Speech-to-Text service. Also, we recommend using a high-quality audio file with clear speech to ensure accurate transcription.

    If the issue persists, we recommend raising a support request with Microsoft Azure support for further assistance. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    I hope you understand. And, if you have any further query do let us know.
