Speech to text audiofile limit request


Our company using speech to text API for making searchable audiobooks. Some of our audio files reach 20 hours, but as we noticed, the basic limit for using Speech to text is 480 minutes.

Please let me know how can we request to enlarge our limit to 1200 minutes?


Solution

  • You can request a higher limit from Google. The process is described here, and there is an interactive guide here.

    To request a higher quota limit by using the Google Cloud Console:

    1. Go to the Quotas page:

    2. On the Quotas page, find the quota you want to increase in the Limit name column.

      You can use the Filter search box to search for your quota.

    3. Select the checkbox to the left of your quota.

    4. Click EDIT QUOTAS. The Quota changes form displays.

    5. In the Quota changes form, enter the increased quota that you want for your project in the New limit field.

    6. Complete any additional fields in the form, and then click DONE.

    7. Click SUBMIT REQUEST.

    While the above procedure applies to most quota increase requests, you might encounter one of the following exceptions:

    • In some cases, the Google Cloud Console redirects you to a separate form to request an increased limit. After you submit the form, Google Cloud acknowledges your request by email.
    • Some quotas cannot be updated using the Google Cloud Console. If you find that you cannot change a quota from the console, request the increase from Cloud Customer Care. The Billing team does not handle quota limit increases.
