What the release provides
It provides speaker labels, word timestamps, keyword biasing, language switching and clean or verbatim output. The current guide warns that diarization can fail on recordings around 15 minutes or longer, even when transcription without diarization succeeds.MAI-Transcribe Azure Speech documentation
How to use it well
Practical guidance. Choose clean or verbatim output according to the document's purpose. Review specialist names against the recording and keep corrections aligned with timestamps. Treat speaker labels as inferred until checked; recognition of words and identification of speakers are separate quality questions.
