SpeechRecognizer.RecognizerUpdateReached Event

Definition

Namespace:

System.Speech.Recognition

Assembly:

System.Speech.dll

Package:

System.Speech v8.0.0

Source:

SpeechRecognizer.cs

Occurs when the recognizer pauses to synchronize recognition and other operations.

public:
 event EventHandler<System::Speech::Recognition::RecognizerUpdateReachedEventArgs ^> ^ RecognizerUpdateReached;

public event EventHandler<System.Speech.Recognition.RecognizerUpdateReachedEventArgs> RecognizerUpdateReached;

member this.RecognizerUpdateReached : EventHandler<System.Speech.Recognition.RecognizerUpdateReachedEventArgs> 

Public Event RecognizerUpdateReached As EventHandler(Of RecognizerUpdateReachedEventArgs) 

Event Type

EventHandler<RecognizerUpdateReachedEventArgs>

Examples

The following example shows a console application that loads and unloads Grammar objects. The application uses the RequestRecognizerUpdate method to request the speech recognition engine to pause so it can receive an update. The application then loads or unloads a Grammar object.

At each update, a handler for RecognizerUpdateReached event writes the name and status of the currently loaded Grammar objects to the console. As grammars are loaded and unloaded, the application first recognizes the names of farm animals, then the names of farm animals and the names of fruits, then only the names of fruits.

Remarks

Applications must use RequestRecognizerUpdate to pause a running instance of SpeechRecognizer before modifying its Grammar objects. For example, while the SpeechRecognizer is paused, you can load, unload, enable, and disable Grammar objects. The SpeechRecognizer raises this event when it is ready to accept modifications.

When you create a delegate for a RecognizerUpdateReached event, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event-handler delegates, see Events and Delegates.
