Gets the culture information of a PromptBuilder.

Namespace: Microsoft.SpeechServer.Synthesis
Assembly: Microsoft.SpeechServer (in microsoft.speechserver.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property Culture As CultureInfo

public CultureInfo Culture { get; }

Property Value

A System.Globalization.CultureInfo object containing the current culture information.

Remarks

The Culture property is initialized with the CurrentUICulture property value of the parent TelephonySession object.

The value of the CurrentUICulture property follows the definition found in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC1766 specification. The value consists of a two-letter language code, a hyphen, and a two-letter nation code. For example, en-UK represents English (United Kingdom), es-US represents Spanish (United States), and fr-CA represents French (Canada).

When comparing the Culture of two objects, use the results of the ToString method, as shown in the example.

Example

using Microsoft.SpeechServer.Synthesis;
. . .
        private void statementActivity1_TurnStarting(object sender, TurnStartingEventArgs e)
        {
            PromptBuilder pb = new PromptBuilder();
            Microsoft.SpeechServer.Synthesis.VoiceInfo dvi = Workflow.Synthesizer.DefaultVoice;
            pb.AppendText("This is " + dvi.Name + ", the default voice. ");
            foreach (Microsoft.SpeechServer.Synthesis.VoiceInfo vi in Workflow.Synthesizer.InstalledVoices)
            {
                if (vi.Culture.ToString() == dvi.Culture.ToString())
                {
                    if (vi.Name != dvi.Name)
                    {
                        pb.StartVoice(vi);
                        pb.AppendText("This is " + vi.Name + ", another voice");
                        pb.EndVoice();
                    }
                }
            }
            pb.AppendText("This is " + dvi.Name + ", the default voice again. ");
            statementActivity1.MainPrompt.AppendPromptBuilder(pb);
        }
