Hello:
We need Speech to Text on an offline device, but it seems that we need to have an active Azure account in order to use this feature. Why? If anyone can provide the reason for the need for an Azure account if we just want to do Speech to Text offline.
I have tried Windows.Media.SpeechRecognition namespace, but it lacks "Voice Training", and we need voice training to deal with different accents.
The voice training was supported in the old SAPI 5.3, and taken out in Windows.Media.SpeechRecognition namespace, and is in Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech namespace. But it requires an active Azure account.
Again, our product do not need Azure service, rather it is an offline configuration.
thanks for your helps,
Kiet
