Stop TTS synthesizer
Once the synthesizer starts synthesizing audio, it can't be stopped. It would be nice to have some method that would stop/interrupt currently running audio synthesis.

Proper error messaging when model training fails
When training a model on speech.microsoft.com fails we need proper error messaging. Right now it literally says "Failed" which provides absolutely no useful information for debugging.
Why do you hate your support people that they have to deal with customers whose only info is "it failed"...
Note that this is happening with training data that has already successfully been uploadted.

Support more languages/derivatives for Custom Voice Fonts
Support more languages/derivatives for Custom Voice Fonts. In particular, I'm looking to create a custom voice for en-GB, and building it using en-US doesn't quite work. I would also be looking to create custom voices for other flavours of English, en-AU being a priority.

Mark Labels for TTS Speech API
Azure Speech API should offer json mark labels for Text to Speech audio. This allows developers to use the audio file and the json mark labels to create audio tracking text in the app. The competitor has a similar solution. I found Azure TTS to be superior but am forced to use the competitor's solution due to lack of json mark labels. Speech mark labels should be in json format and available for all languages. It should provide information such as the begin and end timestamp of each sound to the text, phrase and sentences.

Is there a way to stream audio via WebSocket and get Speech to Text results AND get a copy of the recording on Azure Storage?
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.
Having to maintain two streams has…

Speech Service very high response time
we are using https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/quickstart-js-browser
for filing user data on screen based on Voice input (recognizeOnceAsync)..but i am facing multiple problems in that
1. There is no way around to stop recognizer immediately once i speak some words ..it take 4-5 seconds to stop mic processing ..
2. assume i want to enter user first name based on voice ..but it takes 5-6 to complete the process ,which is not recommendable..need to your inputs to improve it .
3. Any results returned from Speech service is appended with extra (.) in last of result . not sure why its happening .…

Xamarin Android & Xamarin IOS SDK
There are no Xamarin Android & Xamarin IOS SDK for the latest custom speech used by Microsoft.
We hope we can use the SDK ASAP, since we think Xamarin is one of the Microsoft core product and widely used.

need amr to be supported in Speech to Text services
I saw that currently only wav audio format is supported.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech/getstarted/getstartedrest?tabs=PowershellHowever, my customer is using Cordova App and the default format in Android Cordova is AMR audio.
We hope Azure Speech to Text can accept AMR as well.This cloud services accept various format of audio including AMR, so I think technically it is feasible for Azure.

improve the recognition of numbers
The recognition of words like "tenthousend" is "10 1.000" but should be "10000" this is bad if you try to allow an Input of numbers bigger then 1000

captialization
This service is not doing a good job of capitalizing the first word in sentences. I say "I ate lunch period it was good" and I get
I ate lunch period it was good. This later becomes
I ate lunch. it was good
For some reason the recognition of a period in punctuation doesn't produce the capitalization of the next sentence.

confidence number value per word or per speech fragment
I am doing a POC with speech recognition for long speeches.
https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/azure/cognitive-services/speech/concepts#recognition-modesThe recognition mode "conversation" with format "detailed" delivers message responses of type "SpeechPhrase" including confidence value.
The recognition mode "dictation" with format "detailed" delivers message responses of type "SpeechFragment" and "SpeechPhrase" (including confidence value). But the fragments do not contain any information about confidence value.
With the C# service library and the recognition mode "dictation" you'll get partial results with a confidence value (enum). But this is not our desired solution, because the confidence value seems to belong to the whole phrase (Confidence: Indicates the level of confidence…1 vote -
Fix Speech UWP, it does not work

This sample depends on the pre-RTM version of Windows 10, making it impossible to proceed.3 votesThanks for letting us know about the broken code! We’ve updated our documentation to link to the built-in Windows 10 Speech API which is the suggested way to call Speech API through UWP applications. You can read more about it using the links below.
