Hi team.

Is there any feature in Azure Speech that can help us identify filler words?

Please point me to the right documentation if there is any.

Thanks,

    Hello Sai Vishnu Soudri,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! Thanks for posting the question.

    Azure AI Speech has a feature called Disfluency Removal that can help identify and remove filler words from transcriptions. This feature is particularly useful for creating cleaner, more readable text from spoken language.

    To enable or disable this feature, you can use the TrueText option in the Speech SDK. When TrueText is enabled, the service will automatically remove disfluencies from the transcribed text.

    For more information, you can refer to the official documentation, Disfluency Removal.

     Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
