Examples

The following example shows a handler for a SpeechRecognized event designed to handle commands to change foreground and background color.

The handler identifies recognized phrases that have no underlying semantic structure by detecting a Count of zero and a Value of null. This recognition output is then processed directly by parsing the raw text.

In other cases, the handler uses keys to obtain the RGB components of a color name, to determine whether the command will change the foreground or background, or to indicate that no valid key was found.

newGrammar.SpeechRecognized +=  
  delegate(object sender, SpeechRecognizedEventArgs eventArgs)

    // Retrieve the value of the semantic property.  
    bool changeBackGround = true;

        // and search for "background" or "foreground" in the input.

        {  
          changeBackGround = false;

Remarks

SemanticValue is the primary object that implements the semantic technology in System.Speech. Semantic interpretation allows grammars to define rules for use by a recognition engine to correctly interpret audio input. Semantic interpretation also enables recognition engines to organize their results so that they can be more easily processed, rather than returning only recognized words and sequences of words.

For example, the recognition engine output "Change background to red" would have to be parsed and interpreted by an application before it could be acted upon. A Grammar object can specify a semantic interpretation to make processing clearer by specifying that the phrase has two semantic substructures, one for selecting background or foreground (represented by the text "background"), and the other for selecting color (represented by the text "red").

System.Speech represents the semantics of a recognition operation in a tree of SemanticValue objects.

Each SemanticValue instance includes the following:

  • An Object, accessed by means of the Value property, used to key the instance of the SemanticValue.

  • A measure of the accuracy of semantic parsing, returned by the Confidence property.

  • A collection of name/value pairs (KeyValuePair<TKey,TValue>) of child objects, which are also SemanticValue instances. Child nodes are accessible through the SemanticValue implementation of IDictionary<TKey,TValue> using a string lookup key and a SemanticValue instance, as in the following example.

    foreach (KeyValuePair<String, SemanticValue> child in semantics)   
    {  
      Utils.CreateSemanticsTreeNodes(semanticsNode.Nodes, child.Value, child.Key);  
    }  
    

Recognition engines based on System.Speech provide valid instances of SemanticValue for all output from recognition, even for phrases with no explicit semantic structure.

The SemanticValue instance for a phrase is obtained using the Semantics property on the RecognizedPhrase object (or objects that inherit from it, such as RecognitionResult).

SemanticValue objects obtained for recognized phrases without semantic structure are characterized by:

  • The lack of children (Count is 0).

  • The Value property is null.

  • An artificial semantic confidence level of 1.0 (returned by Confidence).

Typically, applications create SemanticValue instances indirectly, adding them to Grammar objects by using SemanticResultValue and SemanticResultKey instances, in conjunction with Choices and GrammarBuilder objects.

Direct construction of a SemanticValue instance is useful during the creation of strongly-typed grammars.

SemanticValue implements the IDictionary<TKey,TValue>, ICollection<T>, and IEnumerable<T> interfaces.
