Azure-docs: Is WebSocket an officially supported protocol?

[compulim]

There are shortcomings from REST (not able to transcribe a long text). And it seems SDK is using WebSocket protocol instead. The WebSocket protocol spec can be found at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech/API-reference-rest/websocketprotocol.

Is WebSocket an officially supported protocol? If yes, can it be add to this list?

I've let the developers know to drop by this question.

Yes ,the current Speech SDK is using WebSocket for communication with service. One of advantages of the Speech SDK is to make users easy to use the Speech service without knowing details of the low-level protocol. That is why we have not put the procol spec in the documentation site. The protocol you mentioned is the one that the current SDK is using, but it might be updated/extended in future to support new features and functionalities.

Thanks,
