title: Words similar to Yes and No - Azure speech recognition
body: <p>I am looking for a way to understand words similar to Yes or No (Like sure, yeah, no way, not right now, etc..) without having to manually take each one of these into consideration.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do that with the speech API from Microsoft?</p>
  
  <p>Currently, I have a list of "Yes"/"No" words which I compare the transcribed text to, but this does not scale well as you might expect.</p>
  
  <p>Edit:
  What I am trying to achieve is retrieve the user's intent during a scripted conversation with the user.
  So for example I'll be asking the user:</p>
  
  <pre><code>System: "Do you wish to add another note?"
  User: "Yeah, sure." or "Yes" or "Ok, why not?"
  System: "Ok, listening..."
  User: "This is going to be my first note"
  System: "Note added."
  </code></pre>
