word hint

  Available in REST API Version 2 and later.

An object that contains one or more hints, which are provided to the speech recogniser in order to improve accuracy by using its speech adaptation feature.

It may be used:
  • to improve the recognition of words or phrases expected to be spoken often.
  • to expand the recogniser's vocabulary, for example with unusual names or domain specific words.
  • with class tokens to improve the recognition of common concepts such as times, phone numbers and postal codes.

Please see Speech Adaptation for further information.
