Question

I have a question about Bing SpeechRecognizer control. I have a problem on where I should place that question.

When I follow this link, I see the "category=bing&forum=bingdev", yet I can't post the question until I select the forum.
There is no "Bing" in the category list so I can't find correct forum.
Please tell me how I should use the forum
Here is the question itself. First line is the subject, the rest is the text:
problem with Bing SpeechRecognizer
I am playing with Bing Speech Recognition Control web search sample (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Bing-Speech-Recognition-210c8978).
I have obtained the credentials from Windows Azure marketplace and tried to run the application.
The result is:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the service is denied.

thrown from the RecognizeSpeechToTextAsync.
Could you please explain what it could mean and how to use the SpeechRecognizer.RecognizeSpeechToTextAsync?
The documentation is silent about it.

There is no "Bing" in the category list so I can't find correct forum.
When I tried it I saw:  No results were found.   So I suspect this is some kind of branding issue.  Or maybe the content has been moved...
Starting from the MSDN brand and choosing View All, then doing a search for BING, then checking everything that matched (7 apparently), then clicking Submit finds:   9159
Perhaps you will find somewhere in there something that you could tack a Me too! onto?  <eg>
Nope.  But now I see where the Answerer probably got misled first:

Forums seem to be deprecated for Blogs.  E.g. trying to force use of forums will take you to where you ended up or to Answers.  See if you can get anywhere on the search blogs tack.

In fact, that may be pointing to a Visual Studio Q&A discussion
