A step-by-step description of how to reproduce the issue, based on the linked reproduction.

Not sure yet but there is a workaround, we need to investigate

A clear and concise description of what the bug is, and what you expected to happen.

Should work with the public method, not the internal method

A clear and concise description WHY you expect this behavior, i.e., was it a recent change, there is documentation that points to this behavior, etc. **

Seems like it has been broken for a while given stack overflow workaround https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76722471/how-to-setup-streamingrecognize-google-cloud-speech-to-text-v2-in-node-js

it does not work whatever you do. we are having problems migrating to v2 because of this.

@sofisl I would like to request an update - I am a CE at GCP and have multiple clients asking me about this bug.

Why are we using a pseudoprivate _streamingRecognize? Do we have guidance on which should be used and why?

Additionally, I am at a loss for how to leverage chirp 2 from this method. It demands that I leverage a global recognizer but I cannot leverage a global recognizer for chirp2 - I can only leverage a regional one. I have code and examples ready to share if necessary.

We shouldn't be using it, we should be using the top-level streamingRecognize, but it's broken right now so the workaround is to use the private method.

See https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-node/issues/3952#issuecomment-1440325529 for streaming implementation.

chirp and chirp2 are not supported in global, only in us-central1, europe-west4, asia-southeast1. chirp3 is in us only.
