Why on earth do we have to set up a Node server in order to use the js api for recognizing voice from a microphone...!?

Isn't the Microsoft Service API supposed to work like google ones, or even web speech....?

    Sorry, that sample lacks the microsoft.cognitiveservices.speech.sdk.bundle.js file which is needed for it to work.

    There's no place in the internet to find a pure js file like that, only some "app" on apparently node that has no file as i said, like that.

    Also, since you have to key in your subscription key, why is there no sample link online to test it?

    @Mariano Goni I think you are referring to the steps mentioned in this sample. This sample should work locally with a JS supported browser without running the node server, just by running index.html and keying in your subscription key.
    This sample uses the node server in case of web server deployments which can retrieve the token from the speech endpoint without exposing the keys in the application. Hope this helps!!
