# Microsoft Azure STT pricing

> 2 STT model(s) from Microsoft Azure, with the rate and where it came from.

Priced from `input_audio_kseconds`, US dollars per 1,000 seconds of input audio, and shown converted to a per-minute rate for comparison. Vendors quote in whatever unit they prefer (per minute, per second, per hour), so the figure here is a conversion, not a quote. Source of truth: [`prices/providers/azure.yml`](https://github.com/mahimailabs/voice-prices/blob/main/prices/providers/azure.yml).

**Plan:** Standard (S0). Rates below are that plan. A committed or negotiated plan will be cheaper, so check yours before budgeting from these.

| Model                | Name                             |     \$ / min |                                          Source | Last verified |

What `verified`, `imported`, and `seed` mean is on [How Fresh?](/how-fresh). A rate that looks wrong is worth [reporting](https://github.com/mahimailabs/voice-prices/issues/new?template=add-provider.yml).
