I want to stop a continuous async recognition immediately

I have a scenario where I am using StartContinuousRecognitionAsync to start a recognition. Some time later I want to stop the recognition, but in this scenario I am not interested in final results and do not want to block my thread for the ~10 secs it is typically taking for StopContinuousRecognitionAsync().get(); to complete (for some reason almost always I have to wait for a timeout on the server side).

How can I stop the recognizer instantly?

@adammpolak We always send a final result (“Recognized” event) based on whatever audio received by the time StopContinuousRecognitionAsync was called. So if you’re in the middle of saying “this is a test” you may get “This is.” as a final recognition result (“recognized” event) if you called Stop in the middle of the sentence.

The Recognized event will give you recognition results since the previous Recognized event (not since your started continuous recognition). In continuous recognition, you will get multiple Recognized events, after each pause in the audio (after each sentence).

Sorry for asking on a closed issue, but I thought this is most likely the best place to get the attention of the right people: what is the situation with the Python client library? In our tests it seems to be affected by the 10-second freeze, no matter what we try. The release notes pointed at by @dargilco do not include python, and the issue is also not mentioned in the 1.21 release notes. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Did you ever get a response to this?
