Live Captions and Transcription Services for Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a collaboration app with nearly 250 million active monthly users. To better accommodate non-native speakers, and meeting attendees who are deaf or hard of hearing, Microsoft relies on AI-generated live captions and real-time transcription.

For optimal live captioning and transcription in multiple languages, the Microsoft Teams app uses Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services and NVIDIA Triton™ Inference Server. This enables them to leverage advanced language models that recognize jargon, names, and other meeting context, to deliver highly accurate, personalized speech-to-text results—in real time—with very low latency.

Using Triton Inference Server in Azure Cognitive Services seamlessly enables live transcription and captions with state of the art speech models in 28 languages. Triton Inference Server delivers low latency, real-time inference of the speech recognition models and ensures that models use GPUs to their full potential. This reduces the cost to customers by delivering higher throughput using fewer computational resources.
