recognizeOnce

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 startContinuousRecognition() instead.

- (SPXSpeechRecognitionResult * _Nonnull)recognizeOnce

Returns

the result of speech recognition.

startKeywordRecognition:error:

Begins a speech-to-text interaction with this recognizer using a keyword. This interaction will use the provided keyword model to listen for a keyword indefinitely, during which audio is not sent to the speech service and all processing is performed locally. When a keyword is recognized, SpeechRecognizer will automatically connect to the speech service and begin sending audio data from just before the keyword. When received, speech-to-text results may be processed by the provided result handler or retrieved via a subscription to the recognized event.

- (BOOL)startKeywordRecognition:(SPXKeywordRecognitionModel * _Nonnull)keywordModel
    error:(NSError * _Nullable * _Nullable)outError

Parameters

  • keywordModel - the keyword recognition model.
  • outError - error information.

Returns

a value indicating whether the requested keyword recognition successfully started. If NO, outError may contain additional information.

startKeywordRecognition:

Begins a speech-to-text interaction with this recognizer using a keyword. This interaction will use the provided keyword model to listen for a keyword indefinitely, during which audio is not sent to the speech service and all processing is performed locally.

When received, speech-to-text results may be processed by the provided result handler or retrieved via a subscription to the recognized event.

- (void)startKeywordRecognition:(SPXKeywordRecognitionModel * _Nonnull)keywordModel

Parameters

  • keywordModel - the keyword recognition model.

startKeywordRecognitionAsync:completionHandler:error:

Asynchronously begins a speech-to-text interaction with this recognizer and immediately returns execution to the calling thread. This interaction will use the provided keyword model to listen for a keyword indefinitely, during which audio is not sent to the speech service and all processing is performed locally. When a keyword is recognized, SpeechRecognizer will automatically connect to the speech service and begin sending audio data from just before the keyword. When received, speech-to-text results may be processed by the provided result handler or retrieved via a subscription to the recognized event.

Properties

authorizationToken

@property (readwrite, copy, nonatomic) NSString * _Nullable authorizationToken;

Authorization token used to communicate with the speech recognition 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.

endpointId

@property (readonly, copy, nonatomic) NSString * _Nullable endpointId;

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