Method Details

dispose

protected void dispose(boolean disposing)

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.

Overrides:

SpeechRecognizer.dispose(boolean disposing)

Parameters:

disposing

getAuthorizationToken

public String getAuthorizationToken()

Gets the authorization token used to communicate with the service.

Returns:

Authorization token.

getEndpointId

public String getEndpointId()

Gets the endpoint ID of a customized speech model that is used for speech recognition.

Returns:

the endpoint ID of a customized speech model that is used for speech recognition.

getOutputFormat

public OutputFormat getOutputFormat()

Gets the output format of recognition.

Returns:

The output format of recognition.

getProperties

public PropertyCollection getProperties()

The collection of properties and their values defined for this SpeechRecognizer.

Returns:

The collection of properties and their values defined for this SpeechRecognizer.

getSpeechRecognitionLanguage

public String getSpeechRecognitionLanguage()

Gets the spoken language of recognition.

Returns:

The spoken language of recognition.

recognizeOnceAsync

public Future recognizeOnceAsync()

Starts speech recognition, and returns after a single utterance is recognized. The end of a single utterance is determined by listening for silence at the end or until a maximum of 15 seconds of audio is processed. The task returns the recognition text as result. Note: Since recognizeOnceAsync() returns only a single utterance, it is suitable only for single shot recognition like command or query. For long-running multi-utterance recognition, use startContinuousRecognitionAsync() instead.

Returns:

A task representing the recognition operation. The task returns a value of SpeechRecognitionResult

setAuthorizationToken

public void setAuthorizationToken(String token)

Sets the authorization token used to communicate with the service. Note: The caller needs to ensure that the authorization token is valid. Before the authorization token expires, the caller needs to refresh it by calling this setter with a new valid token. Otherwise, the recognizer will encounter errors during recognition.

Parameters:

token - Authorization token.

startContinuousRecognitionAsync

public Future startContinuousRecognitionAsync()

Starts speech recognition on a continuous audio stream, until stopContinuousRecognitionAsync() is called. User must subscribe to events to receive recognition results.

Returns:

A task representing the asynchronous operation that starts the recognition.

startKeywordRecognitionAsync

public Future startKeywordRecognitionAsync(KeywordRecognitionModel model)

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. User must subscribe to events to receive recognition results.

Parameters:

model - The keyword recognition model that specifies the keyword to be recognized.

Returns:

A task representing the asynchronous operation that starts the recognition.

stopContinuousRecognitionAsync

public Future 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.

Returns:

A future that will complete when input processing has been stopped. Result generation, if applicable for the input provided, may happen after this task completes and should be handled with the appropriate event.

stopKeywordRecognitionAsync

public Future stopKeywordRecognitionAsync()

Ends the keyword initiated recognition.

Returns:

A task representing the asynchronous operation that stops the recognition.
