Background music can have a significantly negative impact on transcription accuracy. Enabling music detection can help eliminate this issue by excluding music and other high energy non-speech events from transcription results.

When music detection is enabled, all utterances will be passed through an algorithm to be classified as music or non-music. Utterances classified as non-music will be handled as normal. Utterances classified as music are assumed to contain noisy audio and will not be transcribed.

Refer to Music for more information on this feature.
