-Applications such as [Voice assistants](voice-assistants.md) listen to users and take an action in response, often speaking back. They use [speech to text](speech-to-text.md) to transcribe the user's speech, then take action on the natural language understanding of the text. This action frequently includes spoken output from the assistant generated with [text to speech](text-to-speech.md). Devices connect to assistants with the Speech SDK's `DialogServiceConnector` object.
+Applications such as voice agents listen to users and take an action in response, often speaking back.

 Custom Commands makes it easy to build rich voice commanding apps optimized for voice-first interaction experiences. It provides a unified authoring experience, an automatic hosting model, and relatively lower complexity. Custom Commands helps you focus on building the best solution for your voice commanding scenarios.
