Is speech_recognition being kept up to date?

[alaindesilets]

It seems many of the recognize_* methods have not kept up with the time. In particular:

• recognize_bing: Connects to the old Bing speech API which has been phased out by NRC. There does not seem to be a recognize_azure() method to connect to the new Azure speech-to-text api.

• recognize_ibm: Seems to also connect to a cloud service that IBM has discontinued in favour of Watson. And there does not seem to be a recognize_watson() method

This repo hasn't seen an update in 2 years, there are 202 open issues and 23 waiting pull requests. I don't think it's maintained anymore.

On this case it can be community maintained in @abandonware org

Let's wait feedback from upstream if the idea is good, I'll share instructions on how to transfer repo.
