I made an English Vocabulary Training App for my students.

My app shows some Japanese text, and students have to type corresponding English words into textbox.

I want to use Microsoft Translator SpeechToText Function as a hint. I mean when my students can't remember the words, they can hear it by playing audio. It seems my app is working fine. But I'm worried about the following warning.

"This connector is limited to 150 calls per user per day."

I don't have a clear idea what the call means.

Do "150 calls" mean the number of times they can play the audio, they can start a whole quiz, or something else?

Also, per user mean each end user, right?

It would be very much appreciated if someone could explain it. Thanks!

Hi @ryo-chin2 ,

The limit means each end user can only have 150 requests for Microsoft Translator connector for a day. It includes all requests you made to Microsoft Translator connector, not just TextToSpeed, but also other actions that come from that connector. Ex: MicrosoftTranslator.SpeechLanguages() , MicrosoftTranslator.Detect(Source.Text).Name.

However, I found a more detailed API limit description in this article:

If no subscription key is provided, the shared API key will be used, which comes with built-in throttling limits based on the number of characters that are being translated, specifically 55,000 characters per day and 100 requests per minute.
If you provide your own subscription key, there will be no characters limit used by the connector and the rate limit will be raised to 1000 requests per minute. In this case the Translator API will enforce limits based on your subscription

Please refer to this.
