 In this overview, you will learn about the benefits and capabilities of intent recognition. The Cognitive Services Speech SDK provides two ways to recognize intents, both described below. An intent is something the user wants to do: book a flight, check the weather, or make a call. Using intent recognition, your applications, tools, and devices can determine what the user wants to initiate or do based on options you define in the Intent Recognizer or LUIS.

 In this overview, you learn about the benefits and capabilities of the speech translation service, which enables real-time, [multi-language speech-to-speech](language-support.md#speech-translation) and speech-to-text translation of audio streams. With the Speech SDK, your applications, tools, and devices have access to source transcriptions and translation outputs for provided audio. Interim transcription and translation results are returned as speech is detected, and final results can be converted into synthesized speech.

 # What is neural text-to-speech?
 
-[!INCLUDE [TLS 1.2 enforcement](../../../includes/cognitive-services-tls-announcement.md)]

 Microsoft neural text-to-speech uses deep neural networks to make the voices of computers nearly indistinguishable from recordings of people. With the human-like natural prosody and clear articulation of words, neural text-to-speech has significantly reduced listening fatigue when you interact with AI systems.
 
 The patterns of stress and intonation in spoken language are called _prosody_. Traditional text-to-speech systems break down prosody into separate linguistic analysis and acoustic prediction steps that are governed by independent models. That can result in muffled, buzzy voice synthesis. Microsoft neural text-to-speech capability does prosody prediction and voice synthesis simultaneously, uses deep neural networks to overcome the limits of traditional text-to-speech systems in matching the patterns of stress and intonation in spoken language, and synthesizes the units of speech into a computer voice. The result is a more fluid and natural-sounding voice.
