This is a voice application written in TypeScript and running on Deno that uses Vonage Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) to convert the caller's spoken words into text. The text is then sent to Microsoft Azure Spech Translation service to translate into a randomly chosen second language. The original English text and the newly translated text along with identifying its language name is spoken back to the caller.
