# SFSpeechURLRecognitionRequest

A request to recognize speech in a recorded audio file.

## Declaration

```swift
class SFSpeechURLRecognitionRequest
```

## Overview

Overview Use this object to perform speech recognition on the contents of an audio file. The following example shows a method that performs recognition on an audio file based on the user’s default language and prints out the transcription. Listing 1. Getting a speech recognizer and making a recognition request func recognizeFile(url: URL) {     // Create a speech recognizer associated with the user's default language.     guard let myRecognizer = SFSpeechRecognizer() else {         // The system doesn't support the user's default language.         return     }          guard myRecognizer.isAvailable else {         // The recognizer isn't available.         return     }          // Create and execute a speech recognition request for the audio file at the URL.     let request = SFSpeechURLRecognitionRequest(url: url)     myRecognizer.recognitionTask(with: request) { (result, error) in         guard let result else {             // Recognition failed, so check the error for details and handle it.             return         }                  // Print the speech transcription with the highest confidence that the         // system recognized.         if result.isFinal {             print(result.bestTranscription.formattedString)         }     } }
