Examples

This example uses the translation recognizer from a microphone and receives events generated by the recognizer.

public async Task TranslationContinuousRecognitionAsync()
{
    // Creates an instance of a speech translation config with your subscription key and region.
    // Replace with your own subscription key and service region (e.g., "westus").
    var config = SpeechTranslationConfig.FromSubscription("YourSubscriptionKey", "YourServiceRegion");

    // Sets source and target languages.
    string fromLanguage = "en-US";
    config.SpeechRecognitionLanguage = fromLanguage;
    config.AddTargetLanguage("de");

    // Sets voice name of synthesis output.
    const string GermanVoice = "Microsoft Server Speech Text to Speech Voice (de-DE, Hedda)";
    config.VoiceName = GermanVoice;
    // Creates a translation recognizer using microphone as audio input.
    using (var recognizer = new TranslationRecognizer(config))
    {
        // Subscribes to events.
        recognizer.Recognizing += (s, e) =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"RECOGNIZING in '{fromLanguage}': Text={e.Result.Text}");
            foreach (var element in e.Result.Translations)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"    TRANSLATING into '{element.Key}': {element.Value}");
            }
        };

        recognizer.Recognized += (s, e) =>
        {
            if (e.Result.Reason == ResultReason.TranslatedSpeech)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"\nFinal result: Reason: {e.Result.Reason.ToString()}, recognized text in {fromLanguage}: {e.Result.Text}.");
                foreach (var element in e.Result.Translations)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine($"    TRANSLATING into '{element.Key}': {element.Value}");
                }
            }
        };

        recognizer.Synthesizing += (s, e) =>
        {
            var audio = e.Result.GetAudio();
            Console.WriteLine(audio.Length != 0
                ? $"AudioSize: {audio.Length}"
                : $"AudioSize: {audio.Length} (end of synthesis data)");
        };

        recognizer.Canceled += (s, e) =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"\nRecognition canceled. Reason: {e.Reason}; ErrorDetails: {e.ErrorDetails}");
        };

        recognizer.SessionStarted += (s, e) =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nSession started event.");
        };

        recognizer.SessionStopped += (s, e) =>
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nSession stopped event.");
        };

        // Starts continuous recognition. 
        // Uses StopContinuousRecognitionAsync() to stop recognition.
        Console.WriteLine("Say something...");
        await recognizer.StartContinuousRecognitionAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);

        do
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to stop");
        } while (Console.ReadKey().Key != ConsoleKey.Enter);

        // Stops continuous recognition.
        await recognizer.StopContinuousRecognitionAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
    }
}

Remarks

Fields

disposed	disposed is a flag used to indicate if object is disposed. (Inherited from Recognizer)
gch	GC handle for callbacks for context. (Inherited from Recognizer)
isDisposing	Indicates whether the object is currently being disposed. (Inherited from Recognizer)
pointerHandle	Internal for logging. (Inherited from Recognizer)
recognizerLock	recognizerLock is used to synchronize access to objects member variables from multiple threads (Inherited from Recognizer)

Properties

AuthorizationToken	Gets or sets authorization token used to communicate with the service.
Properties	The collection of properties and their values defined for this TranslationRecognizer. Note: The property collection is only valid until the recognizer owning this Properties is disposed or finalized.
SpeechRecognitionLanguage	Gets the language name that was set when the recognizer was created.
TargetLanguages	Gets target languages for translation that were set when the recognizer was created. Each language is specified in BCP-47 format. The translation will provide translated text for each of language.
VoiceName	Gets the name of output voice if speech synthesis is used.

Methods

AddTargetLanguage(String)	Adds a target language for translation. Added in 1.7.0
Dispose()	Dispose of associated resources. (Inherited from Recognizer)
Dispose(Boolean)	This method performs cleanup of resources. The Boolean parameter `disposing` indicates whether the method is called from Dispose() (if `disposing` is true) or from the finalizer (if `disposing` is false). Derived classes should override this method to dispose resource if needed. (Inherited from Recognizer)
Finalize()
RecognizeOnceAsync()	Starts speech translation as an asynchronous operation.
RemoveTargetLanguage(String)	Removes a target language for translation. Added in 1.7.0
StartContinuousRecognitionAsync()	Starts recognition and translation on a continous audio stream, until StopContinuousRecognitionAsync() is called. You must subscribe to events to receive translation results.
StartKeywordRecognitionAsync(KeywordRecognitionModel)	Configures the recognizer with the given keyword model. After calling this method, the recognizer is listening for the keyword to start the recognition. Call StopKeywordRecognitionAsync() to end the keyword initiated recognition. You must subscribe to events to receive recognition results.
StopContinuousRecognitionAsync()	Stops a running recognition operation as soon as possible and immediately requests a result based on the the input that has been processed so far. This works for all recognition operations, not just continuous ones, and facilitates the use of push-to-talk or "finish now" buttons for manual audio endpointing.
StopKeywordRecognitionAsync()	Ends the keyword initiated recognition.

Events

Canceled	The event Canceled signals that the speech to text/synthesis translation was canceled.
Recognized	The event Recognized signals that a final recognition result is received.
Recognizing	The event Recognizing signals that an intermediate recognition result is received.
SessionStarted	Defines event handler for session started event. (Inherited from Recognizer)
SessionStopped	Defines event handler for session stopped event. (Inherited from Recognizer)
SpeechEndDetected	Defines event handler for speech end detected event. (Inherited from Recognizer)
SpeechStartDetected	Defines event handler for speech start detected event. (Inherited from Recognizer)
Synthesizing	The event Synthesizing signals that a translation synthesis result is received.
