Question

What is the Android targetSDK for Java Azure Cognitive Speech SDK?

Anita Chan 40 Microsoft Employee

I am considering using the Azure Cognitive Speech SDK (Java language) in an Android application. I was looking at documentation online, but cannot find the Android targetSDK that the Java library targets when used in Android. I would like to know what the targetSDK is to ensure the library complies with all rules associated with higher SDK versions.

Hi @Saideep Anchuri yes that was the answer I was looking for, however it is concerning to our team that the targetSDK is quite old and does not target the latest Android version. Are there any plans to update that for the libraries? Can we request that for the speech SDK?

Hi Anita Chan

You can request an update to the targetSDK directly through Microsoft's feedback channels. The Azure Feedback Forum is a great place to share your concerns and suggestions. Thank you!
