Azure Ai Transcription Py

Transcription (Batch)

job = client.begin_transcription(
    name="meeting-transcription",
    locale="en-US",
    content_urls=["https://<storage>/audio.wav"],
    diarization_enabled=True
)
result = job.result()
print(result.status)

Transcription (Real-time)

stream = client.begin_stream_transcription(locale="en-US")
stream.send_audio_file("audio.wav")
for event in stream:
    print(event.text)

Best Practices

1. Enable diarization when multiple speakers are present
2. Use batch transcription for long files stored in blob storage
3. Capture timestamps for subtitle generation
4. Specify language to improve recognition accuracy
5. Handle streaming backpressure for real-time transcription
6. Close transcription sessions when complete
