Fast Transcription Public Preview in Azure AI Speech
We are super excited to announce the Public Preview of Fast Transcription service in Azure AI Speech, which allows customers and developers to transcribe audio file to text accurately and synchronously, with a high speed factor.
Fast Transcription service includes our latest end-to-end model technologies, with best quality and super high Speed Factor leveraging GPU inference (it can transcribe a 30-minute audio file in less than 1 minute).
Supported Locales: en-US, zh-CN, fr-FR, it-IT, es-ES, es-MX, ja-JP, ko-KR, pt-BR, hi-IN (more coming soon, learn more about language support in Speech service)
Supported Regions: East US, Southeast Asia, West Europe, Central India (learn more about region support in Speech service. For some unsupported regions it may still return the transcription result correctly but with slower speed)
Supported Audio Formats / Codecs: WAV, MP3, OPUS/OGG, FLAC, WMA, AAC, ALAW in WAV container, MULAW in WAV container, AMR, WebM, M4A, and SPEEX.
Use with REST API:
You can use Fast Transcription via Speech-to-text REST API (2024-05-15-preview or later versions)
The fast transcription API uses multipart/form-data to submit audio files for transcription. The API returns the transcription results synchronously.
Construct the request body according to the following instructions:
Set the required locales property. This value should match the expected locale of the audio data to transcribe. To enable automatic language detection (support soon in future versions), you need to input a list of candidate languages.
Optionally, set the profanityFilterMode property to specify how to handle profanity in recognition results. Accepted values are None to disable profanity filtering, Masked to replace profanity with asterisks, Removed to remove all profanity from the result, or Tags to add profanity tags. The default value is Masked.
Optionally, set the channels property to specify a collection of the audio channels to be transcribed (up to two channels). In the default case, for a dual-channel audio, the channels 0 and 1 will be considered and the recognition result will be downmixed.
Make a multipart/form-data POST request to the endpoint with the audio file and the request body properties. The following example shows how to create a transcription using the fast transcription API.
Replace YourSubscriptionKey with your Speech resource key.
Replace YourServiceRegion with your Speech resource region.
Replace YourAudioFile with the path to your audio file.
Set the form definition properties as previously described.
curl –location ‘https://YourServiceRegion.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/speechtotext/transcriptions:transcribe?api-version=2024-05-15-preview’
–header ‘Content-Type: multipart/form-data’
–header ‘Accept: application/json’
–header ‘Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: YourSubscriptionKey’
–form ‘audio=@”YourAudioFile”‘
–form ‘definition=”{“locales”:[“en-US”], “profanityFilterMode”: “Masked”, “channels”: [0,1]}”‘
Try Out in AI Studio:
AI Studio -> AI Services -> Speech -> Fast Transcription
Use in your scenarios:
Fast Transcription is a perfect fit for many audio file input scenarios like Copilots, audio/video caption and edit, video translation, post-call analytics, etc.

Creating variables based on conditions with other variables
Hello all,
I am quite new to azure devops and I am struggling with understanding why my approaches to do something in the pipelines doesn’t work.
Starting from a template, I have such a piece of code in it, to which I will pass variables:
steps:
– ${{ if gt(length(parameters.artifactoryUrl), 0) }}:
– bash: |
<doSomeWorkHere>
displayName: Do some work only if the URL is provided
Then in the pipeline everything starts from variables definition like so:
variables:
– name: isRelease
value: eq(variables[‘Build.SourceBranch’], ‘refs/heads/master’)
– name: isSnapshot
value: eq(variables[‘Build.SourceBranch’], ‘refs/heads/develop’)
# set artifactory url to stable if release, to stage if snapshot or else to empty (no publish to artifactory)
– name: artifactoryUrl
${{ if and( and( eq(variables[‘Build.SourceBranch’], ‘refs/heads/master’), ne(variables[‘Build.Reason’], ‘Schedule’)), not( and ( eq(variables[‘Build.SourceBranch’], ‘refs/heads/develop’), ne(variables[‘Build.Reason’], ‘Schedule’)))) }}:
value: ‘someURL1’
${{ if and( not( and ( eq(variables[‘Build.SourceBranch’], ‘refs/heads/master’), ne(variables[‘Build.Reason’], ‘Schedule’)) ), and ( eq(variables[‘Build.SourceBranch’], ‘refs/heads/develop’), ne(variables[‘Build.Reason’], ‘Schedule’)) ) }}:
value: ‘someURL2’
${{ if and( not( and ( eq(variables[‘Build.SourceBranch’], ‘refs/heads/master’), ne(variables[‘Build.Reason’], ‘Schedule’)) ), not ( and ( eq(variables[‘Build.SourceBranch’], ‘refs/heads/develop’), ne(variables[‘Build.Reason’], ‘Schedule’)) ) ) }}:
value: ”
The value of artifactoryUrl is passed into the template mentioned above. This actually works. But it looks quite unreadable and there are some duplications. So I made my attemp to simplify it. Instead of checking the same thing as in the previous variables definitions, I tried to reuse those new variables in another conditional expressions like so:
variables:
– name: isRelease
value: eq(variables[‘Build.SourceBranch’], ‘refs/heads/master’)
– name: isSnapshot
value: eq(variables[‘Build.SourceBranch’], ‘refs/heads/develop’)
# set artifactory url to stable if release, to stage if snapshot or else to empty (no publish to artifactory)
– name: artifactoryUrl
${{ if and(eq(variables[‘isRelease’], true), ne(variables[‘Build.Reason’], ‘Schedule’)) }}:
value: ‘someUrl1’
${{ if and(eq(variables[‘isSnapshot’], true), ne(variables[‘Build.Reason’], ‘Schedule’)) }}:
value: ‘someUrl2’
${{ if or(and(eq(variables[‘isRelease’], false), eq(variables[‘isSnapshot’], false)), eq(variables[‘Build.Reason’], ‘Schedule’)) }}:
value: ”
Why referring to the previously created variables doens’t work? I already tried to use in those conditions different types of variables (macro, compile-time, run-time) and nothing worked for me. What I am missing?
# Oh forgot to mention, we use older Azure Devops instance, so “else”, “elseif” is not recognized.

Gmail accounts trouble sending emails
Problem with Sending Emails in New Outlook (Version 1.2024.625.600)
I’ve set up two email accounts in my New Outlook:
1. A personal Gmail account
2. A Google Workspace email account
Issue:
Sometimes, emails from these accounts fail to send and remain in the draft folder. This happens inconsistently, with no clear pattern. The problem occurs with both accounts and affects emails with and without attachments.
Workaround:
When emails fail to send in Outlook, I can successfully send them by:
1. Logging into the respective Gmail account through a web browser
2. Opening the email from the draft folder
3. Sending it from there without any issues
I’m unable to identify why this problem occurs in Outlook but not in the web interface. Can you help me troubleshoot this issue?

Microsoft Security Recommendation issues and Impersonation
Within the numerous dashboards for Microsoft, we see impersonation protection as failed/not compliant, or not enabled in our environment. This is a 2-part question:
1. Does it work well? Why do we see impersonated emails in our environment despite having the users set up for it? We have seen 3 in the last week for our CEO even though he is on the list.
2. Despite having it on and our owned domains added, the environment still shows we don’t have it setup. Also, it gives us a limit of 350 users, are we supposed to check each person one by one? Why negatively impact security scores when you are only supposed to set this up for VIPs? Why not allow it to be on for all users?
EDIT: This is what it advises even though you are limited to 350 users. Ensure that all users have an assigned anti-phishing policy with ‘Enable domains to protect’, ‘Include domains I own’ and ‘Include custom domains’ options enabled, by either updating your existing policies or creating new ones.

Streamlining SAP Processes with Azure OpenAI, Copilot Studio, and Power Platform
In today’s fast-paced business environment, intelligent business processes and efficient collaboration are key to the success of organizations. A recent study by Microsoft on AI has shown that 71% of organizations are already using AI to add value to and speed up their business processes, the report also states that for every $1 invested organizations are seeing a return of 3.5X their investments.
SAP systems have data related to business processes while the Microsoft Graph has data related to collaboration such as emails, chats, schedules etc. To use both these forms of data together with AI would transform the business processes of many organizations.
As every organization is different, apart from using out-of-the-box solutions, organizations are looking for the convenience of being able to build their own customs solutions when they need it and as they want it. Microsoft offers powerful AI and low code development tools that are easily connected to SAP systems that enable individuals and organizations to develop their own intelligent copilots and bots to enhance their business processes and workflows.
From a Microsoft perspective we are working on helping customers and partners leverage SAP with AI in three buckets:
Working with SAP to provide a fantastic out of the box experience to customers and partners. The SAP Joule & Microsoft Copilot announcement at Sapphire (Joule to Integrate with Microsoft Copilot | SAP Sapphire | SAP News Center) and also the SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud & Microsoft Copilot integration are the first tangible results of our collaboration.
Our functional Copilots (Copilot for Sales, Copilot for Finance, Copilot for Services, …) provide a similar out of the box experience but focusing on M365 applications. Copilot for Finance for example, accelerates time-to-impact for finance professionals by surfacing insights that support strategic decision-making and reduce the time that’s spent on manual, repetitive work. It comes with an out of the box integration in Outlook and Excel and allows customers and partners to extend the integration to other systems using a custom connector.
Since out of the box solutions from SAP and Microsoft will never address all customer requirements, Copilot Studio offers powerful AI and low code development tools that are easily connected to SAP systems to develop your own intelligent copilots and bots to enhance your business processes and workflows.
To demonstrate how seamless and easy it is to utilize AI using Microsoft AI tools, we will explore a scenario that demonstrates how SAP data, along with Copilot Studio, Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Teams, and the Microsoft Power Platform can be leveraged to streamline a business process.
The Scenario description and demonstration:
1) Customer Inquiry and Complaint.
A customer reaches out to the salesperson with a complaint regarding a delayed order.
2) Order Investigation,
The salesperson investigates the customer’s orders via a chatbot deployed on Teams, delving deep into the delayed order with AI-summarized insights with context from Outlook emails, Teams’ messages and data directly from the SAP system.
3) Generated Report.
The salesperson figures out the issue, has AI generate a report summarizing the conversation and the cause of the delay. The report is then sent via email to the customer through chat with the bot on Teams.
Here is a video demonstration of the scenario:
In this way, the salesperson has utilized AI to understand and summarize various order-related data from different sources (SAP and Microsoft Graph), convert data from one format to another, and has progressed from identifying the root cause of a problem to updating the customer via email, all through a Teams chat.
The scenario as observed above, unfolds in several steps (as shown in the video), each highlighting different Microsoft technologies working in harmony to resolve the issue as shown in the image below:
Azure OpenAI provides the foundation for developing and training the bot that provides access to the AI models that generate responses. The Power Platform, particularly Power Automate, integrates various services, including SAP systems and the M365 Graph enabling data flow and automation. The SAP ERP connector ensures real-time data retrieval and updates from SAP systems, enhancing the bot’s ability to interact with enterprise data. Finally, Copilot Studio allows for the customization and deployment of AI copilots, making the bot adaptable to specific business needs, in this case, deploying it on Teams.
Explore how to build this scenario on this GitHub link which has detailed step by step instructions on how to build it from scratch. The link also contains the exported Power Platform flows that one can import into their own environment to refer to and use.
Here is a brief description of the different technical components used in the diagram and how to learn more about them and how to set them up:
1. Set up a bot on Azure AI Studio: Azure AI Studio allows you to create and test bots using the Chat Playground. You can get access to Azure AI Studio here.
2. Set up Microsoft Power Platform: By creating a Microsoft 365 developer account, you gain access to the Power Platform, which includes Power Automate among others. Create a M365 Developer account and get access to the Power Platform here.
3. Set up SAP connection in Power Automate: To connect Power Automate flows to your SAP system and make use of the SAP ERP connector you must establish a connection between the Power Platform and your SAP system. Read more about the connector here.
4. Set up / Sign up for Copilot Studio: Copilot Studio enables you to create and customize AI copilots. You can build and deploy copilots that leverage generative AI, enhancing the capabilities of your bot. You can learn more about it and get access to it here.
This scenario is just one example of how these technologies can transform and make business processes more efficient by harnessing the power of AI and Automation. With the Microsoft tools mentioned above and their easy connectivity to SAP systems and the Microsoft Graph, you have all the tools in your arsenal to make a task/business process AI powered. The next blog will explore how to enhance this scenario with components that make the data more visually appealing using Adaptive Cards and also explore how to integrate authorization into the solution.

Windows Server 2022 Essential Activation
Hi,
I’m writing for the company in which I work.
The company, 1 year ago, bought a little server and the reseller gave us it with Windows Server 2022 Essential installed. The PK was put on the side of the server and gave us also a DVD.
After a year, the server was giving some issues, so I’ve decided to buy a new HD to install it again.
I’ve tried to put the DVD of Windows Server 2022 Essential into pc but I’ve just discovered it is in Deutch and I cannot speak in that language so for me is impossible to install it.
Since I was not able to find any iso of this OS in microsoft website I’ve downloaded the 2022 standard evaluation.
After installation I’ve tried to put into the activation tool the PK we have for this computer but system says this PK is not valid.
Pls can anyone help me to understand how can I install again the 2022 essential with our PK?
Thank you

Are there any particular providers or setups you would recommend based on your experience? Any potential downsides or issues I should be aware of? Appreciate any insights or tips from those who have used it!
Thanks!

data filter and pivot table manipulate data
Given
A list of 12 street names in different notations (column ORIGNALSCHREIBWEISE)
Problem I – Filter
Adding a filter and opening the dropdown list shows a reduced number (9 of 12) of ORIGNALSCHREIBWEISE-entries with standardised notations:
Problem II – pivot table
Creating a pivot table from the list the result is the same as in the filter drop down list: the number of notations is reduce to 9:
Error Interpretation
In both test cases Excel doesn’t work case sensitiv. It interprets
Sankt-Martin-str. / Sankt-Martin-Str.St.-martin-Str. / St.-Martin-Str.St.-Martin-straße / St.-Martin-Straße
as identical strings.
Question
How can I force Excel to work in both cases case sensitive?

Incoming Teams Call does not Display Phone Number on iOS
When receiving a Phone Call to Teams (using Direct Routing) the iOS notification does not include the phone number. It only shows the caller Name.
Same goes for Microsoft Teams Call in the iOS Call history:
The only way to see phone number on the phone is to open the Microsoft Teams App:
I’m assuming this is 100% by design, but I’m curious if anyone has come up with any guidance or suggestions for users wanting to see the missed call #.
The best solve I have found to reduce confusion is to remove Teams Calls from Mobile Call History. Forcing users to use the Teams App
Which forces endusers to use Teams App, but it’s not an ideal workaround.
Does anyone have any better suggestions
