Dictation API Taking 40 seconds to respond. Speech is API is fast.

Bug

Dictation API Taking 40 seconds to respond with small audio requests. Way too long. Speech API takes <1 second without any other changes.

I am not using the Unity plugin since I just want pure transcription. I am just doing web requests.

I construct a POST for the dictations api like this: `// Convert the AudioClip data to a byte array byte[] data = AudioClipToWav(recording);

    System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; };

    UnityWebRequest www = new UnityWebRequest(witAiUrl, UnityWebRequest.kHttpVerbPOST);
    www.uploadHandler = new UploadHandlerRaw(data);
    www.downloadHandler = new DownloadHandlerBuffer();
    www.SetRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + witAiToken);
    www.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "audio/wav");
    Debug.Log("Sending request to Wit.ai");
    yield return www.SendWebRequest();`

If my endpoint is set to this private const string witAiUrl = "https://api.wit.ai/speech?v=20230215"; it takes <1 second to return the right response.

If I set it to this: private const string witAiUrl = "https://api.wit.ai/dictation?v=20230215" it takes 40 seconds to return the correct response.

Same audio length. Just a quick 2 second "Hello world" audio clip that is being sent after 2 seconds.

Hi Caz, could you give us the wit appid? It would also be useful if you could share the audio clip with us so we can debug the issue.

AppID: 607996611350377 I don't have any audio clips saved, but it was 40s regardless of how long the clip was. They were all just me saying "Testing 1,2,3" and all worked immediately when I switched to the Speech API instead.

I tried reproducing this issue but I couldn't. Is it still persisting? In case it is, could you attach an audio file that can consistently reproduce this issue?

I am also experiencing this. I have a timeout 30sec for the request and I see in the logs it happens almost every day for a couple of requests. I do not have a file at hand, but I can put a time stamp for today's alert 2023-05-07T10:06:09.688Z probably this will help the investigation. the appId is 585410835512762
