More Information

New Azure Speech Services Recognizer and Synthesizer constructors support several client app deployment configurations:

• FromAuthorizationToken creates an instance of the speech config with specified authorization token and region. Caller needs to ensure that the authorization token is valid and not expired.
• FromEndPoint creates an instance of the speech config with specified endpoint
• FromHost creates an instance of the speech config with specified host. This method is intended only for users who use a non-default service host. Standard resource path will be assumed. For services with a non-standard resource path or no path at all, use FromEndpoint instead
• FromSubscription Creates an instance of speech configuration with specified subscription key and region. (Default)
