Bing Speech API will be retired on October 15, 2019—migrate to Speech Services and Speech SDK
You’re receiving this email because you currently use the Cognitive Services Bing Speech API.

Because Speech Services and Speech SDK each fully replaces the existingBing Speech API capabilities, Bing Speech will be retired as a standalone service on October 15, 2019. As with all changes of this type, we’re providing 12 months’ notice so you have adequate time to adjust.
