 Phrase lists are simple and lightweight:

 You can use phrase lists with the [Speech Studio](speech-studio-overview.md), [Speech SDK](quickstarts/setup-platform.md), or [Speech Command Line Interface (CLI)](spx-overview.md). The [Batch transcription API](batch-transcription.md) doesn't support phrase lists.
 
 You can use phrase lists with both standard and [custom speech](custom-speech-overview.md). There are some situations where training a custom model that includes phrases is likely the best option to improve accuracy. For example, in the following cases you would use custom speech: 
 - If you need to use a large list of phrases. A phrase list shouldn't have more than 500 phrases. 
-- If you need a phrase list for languages that are not currently supported.

 For example, let's say that you want the Speech service to recognize this sentence:
-"Hi Rehaan, this is Jessie from Contoso bank. "
+"Hi Rehaan, I'm Jessie from Contoso bank."
 
-After testing, you might find that it's incorrectly recognized as:
-"Hi **everyone**, this is **Jesse** from **can't do so bank**."
