SubsetMatchingMode Enum

Definition

Enumerates values of subset matching mode.

public enum class SubsetMatchingMode
public enum SubsetMatchingMode
type SubsetMatchingMode = 
Public Enum SubsetMatchingMode
Inheritance
SubsetMatchingMode

Fields

OrderedSubset 1

Indicates that subset matching mode is OrderedSubset.

OrderedSubsetContentRequired 3

Indicates that subset matching mode is OrderedSubsetContentRequired.

Subsequence 0

Indicates that subset matching mode is Subsequence.

SubsequenceContentRequired 2

Indicates that subset matching mode is SubsequenceContentRequired.

Examples

Below is a test routine which generates four Grammar objects, using the same phrase, for each of the SubsetMatchingModes. These Grammar objects can then be tested.

private void CreateSubsetMatchTest()   
{  
  foreach ( System.Speech.Recognition.SubsetMatchingMode mode   
              in Enum.GetValues(typeof(System.Speech.Recognition.SubsetMatchingMode)))  
  {  
    GrammarBuilder gb = new GrammarBuilder("a car the truck a boat that plane",mode);  
    Grammar grammar = new Grammar(gb);  
    grammar.Name = mode.ToString();  
    grammar.Enabled=true;  
    _recognizer.LoadGrammar(grammar);  
  }  
}  

Remarks

In System.Speech, you can construct a grammar that successfully recognizes a phrase even though only a subset of its contents is found in the audio input.

By default, a recognition engine requires an exact match against an entire phrase. The recognition engine can also match partial phrases according to parameters defined by a SubsetMatchingMode member used as an argument to the GrammarBuilder or SrgsSubset constructors, or the Append method.

The following illustrates how each of the SubsetMatchingMode members affects recognition when used in a grammar that contains the phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane".

OrderedSubset

This mode indicates that a subset of the phrase will be used to successfully recognize the entire phrase if the following are true:

  • One or more words in the phrase are recognized in the audio input.

  • The relative order of those recognized words is the same as in the phrase.

  • Matched words may consist of only prepositions and articles.

Adding the phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" to a grammar using OrderedSubset mode produces the following result on recognition:

Input Phrase Result
"a car the truck a boat that plane" The entire phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" is recognized.
"a car the truck a boat" The entire phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" is recognized.
"a car the that plane" The entire phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" is recognized. A recognized subset is not required to be a sequence of the original string.
"a car the boat a truck that plane" Recognition is not successful. The words are out of order.
"a the" The entire phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" is recognized. Prepositions and articles are used for recognition.

OrderedSubsetContentRequired

This mode indicates that a subset of the phrase will be used to successfully recognize the entire phrase if the following are true:

  • One or more words in the phrase are recognized in the audio input, and

  • The relative order of those recognized words is the same as in the phrase.

  • Matched words cannot consist of only prepositions and articles.

Adding the phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" to a grammar using OrderedSubsetContentRequired mode produces the following result on recognition:

Input Phrase Result
"a car the truck a boat that plane" The entire phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" is recognized.
"a car the truck a boat" The entire phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" is recognized.
"a car the that plane" The entire phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" is recognized. A recognized subset is not required to be a sequence of the original string.
"a car the boat a truck that plane" Recognition is not successful. The words are out of order.
"a the" Recognition is not successful. Speech input must contain words other than articles and prepositions.

Subsequence:

This mode indicates that a subset of the phrase will be used to successfully recognize the entire phrase if the following are true:

  • One or more words in the phrase are recognized in the audio input as a sequence of the phrase, and

  • The relative order of those recognized words is the same as in the phrase.

  • Matched words may consist of only prepositions and articles.

Adding the phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" to a grammar using Subsequence mode produces the following result on recognition:

Input Phrase Result
"a car the truck a boat that plane" The entire phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" is recognized.
"a car the truck a boat" The entire phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" is recognized.
"a car the that plane" Recognition is not successful. A recognized subset is required to be a sequence of the original string.
"a car the boat a truck that plane" Recognition is not successful. The words are out of order.
"a the" The entire phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" is recognized. Prepositions and articles are used for recognition.

SubsequenceContentRequired

This mode indicates that a subset of the phrase will be used to successfully recognize the entire phrase if the following are true:

  • One or more words in the match string are recognized in the audio input as a sequence of the phrase.

  • Matched words cannot consist of only prepositions and articles.

Adding the phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" to a grammar using SubsequenceContentRequired mode produces the following result on recognition:

Input Phrase Result
"a car the truck a boat that plane" The entire phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" is recognized.
"a car the truck a boat" The entire phrase "a car the truck a boat that plane" is recognized.
"a car the that plane" Recognition is not successful. A recognized subset is required to be a sequence of the original string.
"a car the boat a truck that plane" Recognition is not successful. The words are out of order.
"a the" Recognition is not successful. Speech input must contain words other than articles and prepositions.
