Chapter 5. Speaking with Your Application
In the previous chapter, we learned how to discover and understand the intent of a user, based on utterances. In this chapter, we will learn how to add audio capabilities to our applications, convert text to speech and speech to text, and learn how to identify the person speaking. Throughout this chapter, we will learn how you can utilize spoken audio to verify a person. Finally, we will briefly touch on how to customize speech recognition to make it unique for your application's usage.
By the end of this chapter, we will have covered the following topics:
- Converting spoken audio to text and text to spoken audio
- Recognizing intent from spoken audio by utilizing LUIS
- Verifying that the speaker is who they claim to be
- Identifying the speaker
- Tailoring the Speaker Recognition API to recognize custom speaking styles and environments
