Hi,

 

My name is Andrew and as luck would have it I am working on a design for some batch transcription. I have a few questions if it would be possible to ask them here?

 

Thanks

Andrew

@Eric Starker, I am Eugene Alfaro, CEO of a new tech startup whose team is likely to leverage the capabilities here.  I am interested in hearing about the innovations for us to leverage.

@Eric Starker, glad to be here. I know nothing about Azure Cognitive Services, at this point, but I would like to learn more. I have it running in my tenant, but don't really know what I can do with it. I'm hoping to piggy-back off of some other community member's questions :)

Hi there, thank you for hosting this AMA session regarding speech/ cognitive services. My name is Jason Evans and I am co-founder to a digital health company. We rely on cognitive services for some of the apps that we are designing to be made available cross-platform including XR. I am looking forward to the custom neural voice technology offered by Microsoft!

Hi @Eric Starker ,

my name is Alex we are working with the cognitive services and the AI from AZure so i am attending this AMA to understand in deapth the speech service without having right now specific questions.

Thanks a lot

@Godiksen1570 you could certainly find a lot of use with the spelling and suggestions services. They work really well for sentences.

@Eric Starker We have been trialing the speech to text in O365 Word for our interview transcription, but are interested in directly accessing Azure Congnitive Services to get over the file length cap and to be able train it to improve recognition rates.
