-# What is Conversation Transcription (Preview)?
+# About Conversation Transcription (Preview)
 
 Conversation Transcription is a [speech-to-text](speech-to-text.md) solution that combines speech recognition, speaker identification, and sentence attribution to each speaker (also known as _diarization_) to provide real-time and/or asynchronous transcription of any conversation. Conversation Transcription distinguishes speakers in a conversation to determine who said what and when, and makes it easy for developers to add speech-to-text to their applications that perform multi-speaker diarization.

 # About Direct Line Speech
 
-[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.
+**Direct Line Speech** is a robust, end-to-end solution for creating a flexible, extensible voice assistant. It is powered by the Bot Framework and its Direct Line Speech channel, that is optimized for voice-in, voice-out interaction with bots.

-Direct Line Speech offers the highest levels of customization and sophistication for voice assistants. It is well-suited to conversational scenarios that’re open-ended, natural, or hybrids of these with task completion or command-and-control use. This high degree of flexibility comes with a greater complexity, and scenarios that are scoped to well-defined tasks using natural language input may want to consider [Custom Commands (Preview)](custom-commands.md) for a streamlined solution experience.

 ## Getting started with Direct Line Speech
 
-The first steps for creating a voice assistant using Direct Line Speech are to [get a speech subscription key](get-started.md), create a new bot associated with that subscription, and connect the bot to the Direct Line Speech Channel.

 The Speech service [REST APIs](rest-apis.md) are compatible with the Bing Speech APIs. If you're currently using the Bing Speech REST APIs, you need only change the REST endpoint, and switch to a Speech service subscription key.
