  1. The stream tag oov is now available for transcription requests to use the new Out-of-Vocabulary feature.

    1. Requests using OOV generate a keyhole model that the ASR engine inserts into the standard language model to accurately transcribe proprietary terms and other language that would not otherwise occur in the model, such as product names and standard terms used in nonstandard contexts.

    2. OOV requests must include a dictionary of terms and (optionally) their pronunciations.
