 Language identification (LID) use cases include:
 
-* [Standalone language identification](#standalone-language-identification) when you only need to identify the language in an audio source.
 * [Speech-to-text recognition](#speech-to-text) when you need to identify the language in an audio source and then transcribe it to text.
 * [Speech translation](#speech-translation) when you need to identify the language in an audio source and then translate it to another language.
 
 Note that for speech recognition, the initial latency is higher with language identification. You should only include this optional feature as needed.

 Prioritize `Latency` if you need a low-latency result such as during live streaming. Set the priority to `Accuracy` if the audio quality may be poor, and more latency is acceptable. For example, a voicemail could have background noise, or some silence at the beginning. Allowing the engine more time will improve language identification results.
 
 * **At-start:** With at-start LID in `Latency` mode the result is returned in less than 5 seconds. With at-start LID in `Accuracy` mode the result is returned within 30 seconds. You set the priority for at-start LID with the `SpeechServiceConnection_SingleLanguageIdPriority` property.
-* **Continuous:** With continuous LID in `Latency` mode the results are returned every 2 seconds for the duration of the audio. With continuous LID in `Accuracy` mode the results are returned within no set time frame for the duration of the audio. You set the priority for continuous LID with the `SpeechServiceConnection_ContinuousLanguageIdPriority` property.

-> With [speech-to-text](#speech-to-text) and [speech translation](#speech-translation) continuous recognition, do not set `Accuracy`with the SpeechServiceConnection_ContinuousLanguageIdPriority property. The setting will be ignored without error, and the default priority of `Latency` will remain in effect. Only [standalone language identification](#standalone-language-identification) supports continuous LID with `Accuracy` prioritization.

 Speech uses at-start LID with `Latency` prioritization by default. You need to set a priority property for any other LID configuration.
