Introduction

Azure AI Speech provides APIs that you can use to build speech-enabled applications. This includes:

• Speech to text: An API that enables speech recognition in which your application can accept spoken input.
• Text to speech: An API that enables speech synthesis in which your application can provide spoken output.
• Speech Translation: An API that you can use to translate spoken input into multiple languages.
• Keyword Recognition: An API that enables your application to recognize keywords or short phrases.
• Intent Recognition: An API that uses conversational language understanding to determine the semantic meaning of spoken input.

This module focuses on speech recognition and speech synthesis, which are core capabilities of any speech-enabled application.
