@Grandhisila, J V S Nagalakshmi Thanks for the question. Please use the Batch transcription REST API operations that enable you to transcribe a large amount of audio in storage. You can point to audio files with a shared access signature (SAS) URI and asynchronously receive transcription results.

@Ramr-msft Thanks for your reply. we tried Batch transcription REST API(V2.0) with blob storage, However we want to know is there any possibility to send audio file from local storage. in our case mostly we are going to transcribe large audio files. in some scenarios the file size will be 1.5 GB too. if its possible please share details.

@Grandhisila, J V S Nagalakshmi Thanks, The API expects an URL as input. It does NOT require this URL mandatory in Azure. URL should be reachable via Public internet.

We are asking all teams to migrate to V3 API, Please follow the document to migrate v2 to v3.
