C++ Console app for Windows

This sample demonstrates various forms of speech recognition, intent recognition, and translation using the Speech SDK for C++ on Windows.

Prerequisites

• A subscription key for the Speech service. See Try the speech service for free.
• A Windows PC; some sample scenarios require a working microphone.
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, Community Edition or higher.
• The Desktop development with C++ workload in Visual Studio and the NuGet package manager component in Visual Studio. You can enable both in Tools > Get Tools and Features, under the Workloads and Individual components tabs, respectively.

Build the sample

• By building this sample you will download the Microsoft Cognitive Services Speech SDK. By downloading you acknowledge its license, see Speech SDK license agreement.

• Download the sample code to your development PC.

• Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and select File > Open > Project/Solution.

• Navigate to the folder containing this sample, and select the solution file contained within it.

• To tailor the sample to your configuration, use search and replace across the whole solution (for example, via Edit > Find and Replace > Quick Replace) to update the following strings:

  • YourSubscriptionKey: replace with your subscription key.
  • YourServiceRegion: replace with the region your subscription is associated with. For example, westus or northeurope.
  • YourEndpointId (optional): replace with the endpoint ID of your customized model in CRIS.
  • The following settings apply for intent recognition powered by the Language Understanding service (LUIS):
    • YourLanguageUnderstandingSubscriptionKey: replace with your Language Understanding service subscription key (endpoint key).
    • YourLanguageUnderstandingServiceRegion: replace with the region associated with your Language Understanding service subscription.
    • YourLanguageUnderstandingAppId: replace with the ID of a Language Understanding service application that you want to recognize intents with.
    • YourLanguageUnderstandingIntentName1, YourLanguageUnderstandingIntentName2, YourLanguageUnderstandingIntentName3: replace with names of intents that your Language Understanding service application recognizes.

• Set the active solution configuration and platform to the desired values under Build > Configuration Manager:

  • On a 64-bit Windows installation, choose x64 as active solution platform.
  • On a 32-bit Windows installation, choose x86 as active solution platform.

• Press Ctrl+Shift+B, or select Build > Build Solution.

Note If you are seeing red squigglies from IntelliSense for Speech SDK APIs, right-click into your editor window and select Rescan > Rescan Solution to resolve.

Run the sample

To debug the app and then run it, press F5 or use Debug > Start Debugging. To run the app without debugging, press Ctrl+F5 or use Debug > Start Without Debugging.
