How to implement Speech-To-Text in PowerApps, use Flow ?

[ProNewbie]

Title says all, I need to populate an input text box using vocal commands, this link (https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/custom-connectors-and-text-analytics-in-powerapps-part-on...) does refer to a Text Analytics Connector in PowerApps, but there is not a connector for Speech-To-Text.

I know that I can make a Custom Connector but I need some Json code to put in some parts of the custom connector and I'm completely unaware of what to do there.

This link (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/custom-connectors/define-blank) explains how to make a custom connector for Text Analytics, but first of all it's pointless because there is a dedicated connector for Text Analytics, and second the Speech-To-Text does not work with this method since the json-code parts are different I suppose.

Thanks for any suggestion.

Hi @ProNewbie 

Yes.You need to use Flow to help you achieve that.

And you can also reference the Preview feature of PowerApp-AI Builder.

There are model-types, you can also use that to test.

Hi @v-yuxima-msft and thanks for the reply, but in Microsoft Flow there's nothing that does Speech-To-Text, only the opposite using the Vocal Synths action, and in the AI Models there is no such thing either.

Is there an API to use that I'm missing or something like that ?
