# Speech Recognition

With HaloCode's microphone and built-in Wi-Fi, we can make a simple speech recognition application. The internet enables HaloCode to use Microsoft's speech recognition service. You need to sign in/up to mBlock 5 to connect your HaloCode to the internet.

**Sign in to mBlock 5**

HaloCode needs to connect to the internet to use online speech recognition service. We need to sign in to mBlock 5 first.

**Speech recognition**

When the button is pressed, HaloCode will start speech recognition and all LEDs will light up white. The recognition process lasts for 3 seconds. When it's done, all LEDs will go off as a signal.

3\. Add an Events block when button is pressed and a Lighting block all LEDs light up (). Change the color to white. Then add a Wi-Fi block recognize (English) for (3) seconds.
