Microsoft previews streaming transcription in 60 languages without a service-level agreement
Microsoft announced MAI-Transcribe-2-Streaming on October 1, alongside MAI-Voice-2.1 and its Flash variant. The transcription model returns and revises text while someone is speaking. Microsoft lists support for 60 languages and an introductory price of $0.54 per audio hour through year-end.

The two voice models support 23 languages, according to Microsoft.
Microsoft claims the models support the listed languages and meet its speed and quality measures. Azure says the streaming transcription service remains in public preview. It has no service-level agreement, and Azure does not recommend it for production workloads.
Tests with real accents, background noise and interrupted speech could show whether the preview works for a specific application.
