What to check in your trial

Verify the model format, build options and acceleration supported by the exact target device.

  1. Use a fixed dataset representing the language, accents, audio quality and speaker overlap expected in production. Record the exact model and configuration.
  2. Measure recognition quality, latency and failure behavior separately. Test reconnects, retries and incomplete audio in the intended API mode.
  3. Review regions, quotas, retention and request options. Confirm how optional features, channels and long-running jobs affect the bill.
