SpeechRecognitionFromFiles

A .NET Core console app that transcribes .WAV audio files to text using Azure Speech service.

To use:

1. Create a Speech resource in Azure (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/get-started#create-a-speech-resource-in-azure)
2. Update SpeechRecognitionFromFile.cs to have your Azure subscription key and service region.
3. Run dotnet build.
4. Run dotnet run -- C:\\temp\\input\\ (using your own path to a directory that contains .WAV files)
5. When it finishes running successfully the transribed text will be in output.txt.
