## AzureSTT

Initialize the Azure STT plugin.

Slot: stt. Route: plugins -- direct to the vendor, with AZURE\_SPEECH\_KEY or
an explicit api\_key.

The target accepts \*\*kwargs, so the fields below are what it documents
rather than everything it tolerates; the rest go through `extra`.

```python theme={null}
from zeroruntime.plugins import AzureSTT  # direct to the vendor, with your key
```

### Fields

<ParamField path="speech_region" type="Optional[str]" default="None" />

<ParamField path="sample_rate" type="int" default="16000" />

<ParamField path="enable_phrase_list" type="bool" default="False" />

<ParamField path="phrase_list" type="Optional[List[str]]" default="None" />
