Extending the speech interface using custom grammar

I am developing a webapp and I am using Microsoft Cognitive Services to add spoken text to text capabilities. Specifically, I am using the Bing Speech API

My users use acronyms and unrelated English words to refer to certain domain-specific items. The Vanilla Bing Speech API does not recognize these acronyms.

Can I add custom words / grammar to the Bing Speech API? Is there an alternative to Bing Web API that can be customized with custom words / grammar? Workaround?

No, it is not possible to extend the Bing Speech API itself with custom words / grammar. However, you can create a custom language model and use it with Custom Voice Messaging Service . To implement your specific vocabulary. At the moment, the use of REST API with this service is limited. The Custom Speech Service endpoints work with the same SDK as the Bing Speech API.
