Hi,
I am using azure speech to text service. Originally i have video file and then getting audio file using ffmpeg.
import azure.cognitiveservices.speech as speechsdk
speech_config = speechsdk.SpeechConfig(subscription=key, endpoint=endpoint)
speech_config.request_word_level_timestamps()
speech_config.output_format = speechsdk.OutputFormat(1)
audio_config = speechsdk.audio.AudioConfig(filename=audio_file)
Here in AudioConfig, i am send path of audio file. Even after session is closed, i am not able to delete the audio file.
Please help for the same

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Can you clarify where exactly you're trying to delete this file?
Hi, I have created a REST API that gets video from user. I am using FFMPEG to get audio from video. After getting audio, i am passing url of this audio to Azure api.
audio_config = speechsdk.audio.AudioConfig(filename=audio_file)
Then after reading the complete file i am calling "stop_continuous_recognition" function in "session_stopped" event.
Also i saved the text data in file. After this when all this done, i am trying to delete the audio file.
While executing "os.remove(audio_file)" it is giving exception"File is being used by Process"
Please suggest something to resolve it.
Please help to resolve the issue

Hi Pooja,
Did you resolve it? I am facing the same problem, it is just that in my case they this is an audio file
Hi, based on the error message, you'd need to identify the running process and stop it in order to delete the file. Consider using Process Explorer to identify the running process.
