• The pricing tier for your speech service in azure should be set to F0 Free if you wish to take advantage of azures free monthly limits and not be charged

• I am not responsible for any charges you receive if you upgrade from a Free Azure Account and use S0 Standard pricing! It is up to you to monitor your own usage if you are using a pay-as-you-go azure account

• Dictionary takes advantage of Azure's Phrase List feature to allow users to add new words to be recognized.
  • For instance, it can be used for words like "Pogchamp" or user names that Azure wouldn't know otherwise
