Azure Bot Service Plugin 1.6.0 Released


Microsoft Azure Bot Service (ABS) Plugin 1.6.0 to the UniMRCP Server (UMS) has been released.

The plugin is based on the following components:

  • Azure Speech SDK 1.22.0

The plugin supports the following APIs:

  • LUIS
  • Bot Service via Direct Line Speech
  • Bot Service via Speech-to-Text and Direct Line

The plugin is available for the following UMS versions:

  • 1.7.0
  • 1.8.0

The binaries are currently available for the following Linux distributions:

  • Red Hat / CentOS 8
    • unimrcp-azure-bot-1.7.6-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
    • unimrcp-azure-bot-1.8.2-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
    • unimrcp-azure-bot_1.7.6-bionic_amd64.deb
    • unimrcp-azure-bot_1.8.2-bionic_amd64.deb

    • unimrcp-azure-bot_1.7.6-focal_amd64.deb
    • unimrcp-azure-bot_1.8.2-focal_amd64.deb

This release adds support for an alternate approach interacting with the Bot Service by performing streaming speech transcription first using the regular WebSocket Speech API and then placing a follow-up request using the Direct Line API. This approach allows to overcome limitations of the MS Speech SDK in support of streaming speech transcription in a multi-turn conversation.

The detailed list of changes introduced in this release follows.
New Features
  • Added support for a new api called 'stt-dsc' as an alternative to 'dcs'.
Fixed Problems
  • None.
Configuration Parameters
  • None.
Miscellaneous
  • Updated the Installation Guide to reflect the changes introduced in this release.
