Description

Beginning on September 30, 2025, Azure AI Speaker Recognition will be retired, and your applications will no longer be able to access its APIs.

To continue providing speaker verification and/or speaker identification capabilities in your applications, we request you to migrate to other solutions available in the market. 

We recommend evaluating and migrating to another solution as early as possible to allow sufficient time for transitioning enrolled profiles and tuning your applications based on the new solution’s accuracy & performance characteristics.
