Azure Speech To Text REST Py

Azure 语音转文本 REST API（短音频）

用于短音频文件（最长 60 秒）语音转文字转写的简单 REST API。无需 SDK — 只需 HTTP 请求。

前提条件

1. Azure 订阅 - 免费创建
2. Speech 资源 - 在 Azure 门户中创建
3. 获取凭据 - 部署后，前往资源 > 密钥和终结点

环境变量

# Required
AZURE_SPEECH_KEY=<your-speech-resource-key>
AZURE_SPEECH_REGION=<region>  # e.g., eastus, westus2, westeurope

# Alternative: Use endpoint directly
AZURE_SPEECH_ENDPOINT=https://<region>.stt.speech.microsoft.com

安装

pip install requests

快速开始

import os
import requests

def transcribe_audio(audio_file_path: str, language: str = "en-US") -> dict:
    """Transcribe short audio file (max 60 seconds) using REST API."""
    region = os.environ["AZURE_SPEECH_REGION"]
    api_key = os.environ["AZURE_SPEECH_KEY"]
    
    url = f"https://{region}.stt.speech.microsoft.com/speech/recognition/conversation/cognitiveservices/v1"
    
    headers = {
        "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": api_key,
        "Content-Type": "audio/wav; codecs=audio/pcm; samplerate=16000",
        "Accept": "application/json"
    }
    
    params = {
        "language": language,
        "format": "detailed"  # or "simple"
    }
    
    with open(audio_file_path, "rb") as audio_file:
        response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, params=params, data=audio_file)
    
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response.json()

# Usage
result = transcribe_audio("audio.wav", "en-US")
print(result["DisplayText"])

音频要求

限制：

• 音频最长 60 秒
• 发音评估：最长 30 秒
• 无部分/中间结果（仅最终结果）

Content-Type 请求头

# WAV PCM 16kHz
"Content-Type": "audio/wav; codecs=audio/pcm; samplerate=16000"

# OGG OPUS
"Content-Type": "audio/ogg; codecs=opus"

响应格式

简单格式（默认）

params = {"language": "en-US", "format": "simple"}

{
  "RecognitionStatus": "Success",
  "DisplayText": "Remind me to buy 5 pencils.",
  "Offset": "1236645672289",
  "Duration": "1236645672289"
}

详细格式

params = {"language": "en-US", "format": "detailed"}

{
  "RecognitionStatus": "Success",
  "Offset": "1236645672289",
  "Duration": "1236645672289",
  "NBest": [
    {
      "Confidence": 0.9052885,
      "Display": "What's the weather like?",
      "ITN": "what's the weather like",
      "Lexical": "what's the weather like",
      "MaskedITN": "what's the weather like"
    }
  ]
}

分块传输（推荐）

以分块方式流式传输音频，可降低延迟：

import os
import requests

def transcribe_chunked(audio_file_path: str, language: str = "en-US") -> dict:
    """Stream audio in chunks for lower latency."""
    region = os.environ["AZURE_SPEECH_REGION"]
    api_key = os.environ["AZURE_SPEECH_KEY"]
    
    url = f"https://{region}.stt.speech.microsoft.com/speech/recognition/conversation/cognitiveservices/v1"
    
    headers = {
        "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": api_key,
        "Content-Type": "audio/wav; codecs=audio/pcm; samplerate=16000",
        "Accept": "application/json",
        "Transfer-Encoding": "chunked",
        "Expect": "100-continue"
    }
    
    params = {"language": language, "format": "detailed"}
    
    def generate_chunks(file_path: str, chunk_size: int = 1024):
        with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
            while chunk := f.read(chunk_size):
                yield chunk
    
    response = requests.post(
        url, 
        headers=headers, 
        params=params, 
        data=generate_chunks(audio_file_path)
    )
    
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response.json()

认证方式

方式 1：订阅密钥（简单）

headers = {
    "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": os.environ["AZURE_SPEECH_KEY"]
}

方式 2：Bearer Token

import requests
import os

def get_access_token() -> str:
    """Get access token from the token endpoint."""
    region = os.environ["AZURE_SPEECH_REGION"]
    api_key = os.environ["AZURE_SPEECH_KEY"]
    
    token_url = f"https://{region}.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/sts/v1.0/issueToken"
    
    response = requests.post(
        token_url,
        headers={
            "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": api_key,
            "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
            "Content-Length": "0"
        }
    )
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response.text

# Use token in requests (valid for 10 minutes)
token = get_access_token()
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {token}",
    "Content-Type": "audio/wav; codecs=audio/pcm; samplerate=16000",
    "Accept": "application/json"
}

查询参数

识别状态值

脏话处理

# 用星号遮蔽脏话（默认）
params = {"language": "en-US", "profanity": "masked"}

# 完全移除脏话
params = {"language": "en-US", "profanity": "removed"}

# 保留脏话原文
params = {"language": "en-US", "profanity": "raw"}

错误处理

import requests

def transcribe_with_error_handling(audio_path: str, language: str = "en-US") -> dict | None:
    """Transcribe with proper error handling."""
    region = os.environ["AZURE_SPEECH_REGION"]
    api_key = os.environ["AZURE_SPEECH_KEY"]
    
    url = f"https://{region}.stt.speech.microsoft.com/speech/recognition/conversation/cognitiveservices/v1"
    
    try:
        with open(audio_path, "rb") as audio_file:

                    "Accept": "application/json"
                },
                params={"language": language, "format": "detailed"},
                data=audio_file
            )
        
        if response.status_code == 200:
            result = response.json()
            if result.get("RecognitionStatus") == "Success":
                return result
            else:
                print(f"Recognition failed: {result.get('RecognitionStatus')}")
                return None
        elif response.status_code == 400:
            print(f"Bad request: Check language code or audio format")
        elif response.status_code == 401:
            print(f"Unauthorized: Check API key or token")
        elif response.status_code == 403:
            print(f"Forbidden: Missing authorization header")
        else:
            print(f"Error {response.status_code}: {response.text}")
        
        return None
        
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Request failed: {e}")
        return None

异步版本

import os
import aiohttp
import asyncio

async def transcribe_async(audio_file_path: str, language: str = "en-US") -> dict:
    """Async version using aiohttp."""
    region = os.environ["AZURE_SPEECH_REGION"]
    api_key = os.environ["AZURE_SPEECH_KEY"]
    
    url = f"https://{region}.stt.speech.microsoft.com/speech/recognition/conversation/cognitiveservices/v1"
    
    headers = {
        "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": api_key,
        "Content-Type": "audio/wav; codecs=audio/pcm; samplerate=16000",
        "Accept": "application/json"
    }
    
    params = {"language": language, "format": "detailed"}
    
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        with open(audio_file_path, "rb") as f:
            audio_data = f.read()
        
        async with session.post(url, headers=headers, params=params, data=audio_data) as response:
            response.raise_for_status()
            return await response.json()

# Usage
result = asyncio.run(transcribe_async("audio.wav", "en-US"))
print(result["DisplayText"])

支持的语言

常用语言代码（完整列表见语言支持）：

最佳实践

1. 使用 WAV PCM 16kHz 单声道以获得最佳兼容性
2. 启用分块传输以降低延迟
3. 缓存 access token 9 分钟（有效期 10 分钟）
4. 指定正确的语言以确保识别准确
5. 需要置信度分数时使用详细格式
6. 在生产代码中处理所有 RecognitionStatus 值

何时不适用此 API

当需要以下功能时，请改用 Speech SDK 或 Batch Transcription API：

• 超过 60 秒的音频
• 实时流式转写
• 部分/中间结果
• 语音翻译
• 自定义语音模型
• 批量转写多个文件
