I found on another thread that the advanced plug in I need, currently is not working because they have added regions to this service (8 total for cognitive service). If so will there be an update for pay for service within the plugin anytime soon?

Paste your API KEY into the field of Advanced Bing Speech Recognition control. No one here can help you with pricing. I recommend visiting microsoft's website to understand the price of their service. The plugin can be installed from here: https://synthiam.com/Software/Manual/Advanced-Bing-Speech-Recgntion-15894

There's instructions on how to use it on the page for it. 

Get the key from microsoft azure's portal once you create a definition. I can't help you with the microsoft portal part. 

Ok I’ll add the advanced with my own api keys to see if it does work. I was reaching out to anyone using the paid for api keys as there are a few on here who say they pay. The pricing is not as intuitive or easy to find. But after digging thru the pages and turning off my pop up blocker I found pricing comes in at about $1 us per hour of usage with no contracts, pay as you go. For any one else interested beyond the daily limits of the free version.

...yeah this is not working for me. Have you guys tried a new account using new keys? I get an error with my paid-for keys.

I updated the plugin to allow the region to be selected, which creates an end point. I can't upload it for a few days until the website programmer fixes the plugin section.

Thanks very much. I’ll start programming some other stuff until the plug in accessible.

the new advanced speech recognition control is ready. You'll have to update ARC for it to work

Awsome. Thank you I will get on it first thing in the AM!
