Newbie: Speech to Text SDK vs Rest

Question

Hi
I just started learning Azure and speech services. I built a small tutorial console app (code below). The tutorial had me download Nuget package Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech.

Question: I assume I am using the Speech to Text SDK? Or is the code below making Rest API calls under the covers and I am actually using Rest Api's?

       private static async Task RecognizeSpeech()
        {
            var configuration = SpeechConfig.FromSubscription"abc""eastus");
            using (var recog = new SpeechRecognizer(configuration))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Start Speaking...");
                var result = await recog.RecognizeOnceAsync();
                if (result.Reason == ResultReason.RecognizedSpeech)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(result.Text);
                }
            }

        }

Thanks in advance!
