I have a large audio file (mp3) that I don't want to listen to, rather, I'd like to convert it to text and read it. How do I do this with Microsoft Azure?
Thanks

    One way is to use Video Indexer. See https://vi.microsoft.com/. You can upload the MP3 and at upload time set the upload type to be audio-only. You can also turn off the streaming side if all you need is the transcript / VTT.

    Hi,

    You can use the Speech Recognizer feature of Azure..

    See my github repository, you can upload the audio file and converter the speek to text, using the lib Speech Recognizer sending to azure service..

    To do this, you need to go in your azure portal, add the Cognitive Services and a Resource Group.. is very easy manager these resources..

    My github repository:
    https://github.com/BrunoTragl/BrunoTragl.FalaParaTexto

    In SpeechConfigurationBase abstract class and method MicConfiguration, you can change the source of FromDefaultMicrophoneInput to input you audio file..

    Hope i can help..
