2. Navigate to Speech > SpeechToText > iOS > iPhoneOS, select SpeechSDK.framework, and click Add.

3. Go to your project settings, by single clicking your project, and navigate to the General tab. You'll notice that SpeechSDK.framework exists under the Linked Frameworks and Libraries section.

4. In the General tab, under the Embedded Binaries section, click the (+) button. In the dialog, select SpeechSDK.framework and click the Add button.

5. If you wish to run on the iOS Simulator or MacOSX, repeat steps 2-4 but choose either iPhoneSimulator or MacOSX instead.
