PronunciationAssessment does not include ContentAssessmentResult for Unscripted Assessment Results

Naman Muley 0

I am attempting to try out the pronunciation assessment and will really use the TopicScore and GrammarScore from the content assessment result.

I am using a modified version of the sample python code given in your github: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/cognitive-services-speech-sdk/blob/261160e26dfcae4c3aee93308d58d74e36739b6f/samples/python/console/speech_sample.py#L846

Here are the conditions I have set which make me believe my pronunciation result must have a non-null content assessment result:

language = "en-US"
Setting content assessment with topic like: pronunciation_config.enable_content_assessment_with_topic(``*t``opic*=topic)
Setting granularity of assessment to FullText like thus: granularity=speechsdk.PronunciationAssessmentGranularity.FullText,

What am I doing wrong to not get the ContentAssessmentResult?

Hi @Naman Muley,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum!

The Pronunciation Assessment does not provide ContentAssessmentResult (e.g., TopicScore or GrammarScore) for unscripted scenarios. These fields are designed for scripted assessments where input matches predefined content.

Although your setup seems correct with enable_content_assessment_with_topic() and FullText granularity, ContentAssessmentResult remains unavailable for free-form inputs due to feature limitations. For TopicScore and GrammarScore, consider switching to scripted assessments. If the issue persists, refer to the SDK documentation or raise a support request.

I hope you understand! Thank you.
