408 Request timed out Microsoft Speech to Text


My .wav file length is just 4 seconds. Even after multiple retries and running it on cloud i am constantly getting following error

  * upload completely sent off: 12 out of 12 bytes
  < HTTP/1.1 408 Request timed out (> 14000 ms)
  < Transfer-Encoding: chunked
  < Content-Type: text/plain
  < Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.5
  < X-MSEdge-Ref: 

Has anybody faced this issue? This is my request

  `curl -v "https://speech.platform.bing.com/recognize?
  scenarios=catsearch&appid=D4D52672-91D7-4C74-8AD8-42B1D98141A5&locale=en-  
  US&device.os=wp7&version=3.0&format=json&requestid=1d4b6030-9099-12e0-91e4-
  0800200c9a67&instanceid=1d4b6030-9099-12e0-91e5-0800200c9a68" -H 
  "Authorization: Bearer $1" -H "Content-Type: audio/wav; samplerate=8000" -- 
  data-binary $2`

Solution

  • I got this working. There were couple of issues. One was with the locale, which i changed to en-IN. and then scenarios=ulm. This seems to have done the trick. I was able to detect speech very clearly.
