Support for authenticating to the Service using Azure AD to allow an alternative to keys.

Is Greek on the roadmap? Please let me know when it is planned. If not, please add it.

how an IVR system can call this API? more details about protocol used and sample would be highly appreciated

The results obtained by the SpeechRecognizer's Recognized event are not broken by punctuation marks, and sentences are connected even if the speaker changes.
Therefore, it is not possible to know the timing of the change of the speaker.
I want you to improve it so that an event occurs for each punctuation mark.

Hello,
I have the following use case (international wedding): The presenter speaks in French. I would like to show the German and Catalan live translations on a single screen for the audience. Is this possible? I know that there is the conversation feature readily available, but not everybody in the audience has a smartphone.

REST API support for custom phrase lists

I'd like to see the speech API coming to Raspberry PI, meaning having FULL ARM32 support for the linux implementation of this SDK. This would enable the raspi maker community to use Azure Speech seamlessly in their devices.

It would be beneficial for GovCloud users to have secure access a list of available endpoints for the service listed under the overview instead of just the token issuing endpoint forcing one to comb through out of date documentation trying to find the secured GovCloud endpoints.

Something changed with the zh-CN-XiaoxiaoNeural voice - the 'sentiment' expression no longer works, as of a few days ago. Using exactly the same code, but the output is quite different (no longer sounds sentimental). Was an update posted? If so, where do we find a list of changes?

For West Europe region, the service is returning "Specified grammar type is not supported!" when we pass in LUIS reference grammar ID (a.k.a. IntentRecognizer).

This causes the speech service to fail with a "WebSocket is already in CLOSING or CLOSED state." error when the LUIS reference grammar ID is passed in. If it is not included, the service works correctly.

The custom speech has good accuracy compared to others solutions but it doen't support pronunciation for portuguese BR, so important words for business aren't recognized. It's a very important feature for business usage. The UI offers only support for english language.

At present, we have to determine the locale of the input language in detail, such as "Speech to Text" feature. For example, en-US, en-AU, and so on.
Users may not know which one to choose, so it will be easier to use if they automatically recognize it from their voice.

Please let me know if you have any prospects for the future.

Norwegian needs a grammatical rethink with regards to compound words.

Currently in Norwegian we distinguish individual words by putting spaces between them, so for instance when I mention to the speech-to-text-service the console window ("konsollvindu" in Norwegian), it outputs it as "konsoll vindu" with a space between the words.

This.

Must.

Absolutely.

Be.

Fixed.

I am a linguist by degree. Please hire me to fix this if you need help, because you really do.

Depending on screen resizing, certain elements on cris.ai will not be visible. There seems to be an issue with the underlying architecture of the site since this is the second issue that arose from resizing the window. Both times, things went wrong when the window occupied half or less than half of the monitor screen.

We are currently using Bing Speech with LUIS, but looking to convert to Speech service.

Right now we have multiple recorders that operate in the browser, Flash, WebRTC, HTML5.

Each of these has to connect to Bing Speech to Text to get realtime translation and LUIS results to drive actions in the application. Additionally we are currently streaming the audio to Amazon S3. Ideally we would like to stream the audio only once, and have it picked up by Microsoft from Speech to Text AND be able to retrieve a URL for later use.

Hi,

The new neural text 2 speech feature looks amazing, but one language is missing : French :)

I don't know if it something on the list, or if it is coming soon, but I'm waiting for this feature to switch from Google Wavenet.
I'm pretty sure that the french voice generated by this new neural TTS by MS Cognitive service will be a game changer.

The french language is complex, the emphasis, the punctation etc... but if MS can provide the same awesome quality as they have done in english... we will be able to build something incredible...

The lack of a confidence score on word level feature is a show stopper for my company's project. It would be extremely useful for us to have the confidence score included within "Words" list , which consist of words and their timestamps.

According to this answer: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4979ca92-aa0f-4d09-b010-fc2eeb1bde80/speech-results-confidence-score-on-word-level?forum=AzureCognitiveService#8ae67445-4e23-49ea-b694-a8d877dc2dd0
the feature is not public and we suspect that it could be provided quickly.

I'd be grateful for each vote for this idea!

Please add Nigerian Yoruba language or give opportunity to specific users to develop a model with local language.
Thank you
