Using Live Transcribe

Create and manage live transcribe jobs in the Speech service.

The live transcribe feature provides real-time transcription, which enables you to send audio streams and receive text results in real time. Real-time transcription is required for many use cases across industries such as healthcare, call centers, and media. For example, physicians and nurses use medical dictation, which requires real-time capabilities and increases work efficiency. With the release of live transcribe, you can get accurate transcription in your application in less than a few seconds. You can use the embedded text window to try live transcribe or refer to the API document for information about how to programmatically integrate with the OCI real-time transcription service.
