Microsoft Cognitive Speech to Text

Question

The documentation, and other help links provided by microsoft suggests to use VS2015.

I have a project built in .net framework 4.0 using VS2010 in WPF. And I want to implement the speech to Text functionality in my project.

Note: I can't upgrade to VS2015 and would like to implement the microsoft cognitive speech to text functionality using VS2010.

Is this possible and please do explain if it is possible or not.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think VS2015 is a requirement (though I'm not 100% sure). My team recently added a sample speech-to-text bot in github: https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/master/CSharp/intelligence-SpeechToText, which shows how you can convert an audio file that the user uploaded to text. You can easily port the code to a WPF app (note that the sample is available in C# and node.js). Check it out and let us know if it worked.
