[SerializableAttribute]
public class SpeechRecognitionRejectedEventArgs : RecognitionEventArgs

Remarks

An instance of SpeechRecognitionRejectedEventArgs is created when the SpeechRecognitionEngine object raises the SpeechRecognitionRejected event at the completion of a RecognizeAsync() operation.

The SpeechRecognitionEngine raises the SpeechRecognitionRejected when none of the Alternates generated by a recognition operation have a high enough Confidence score to be accepted. To obtain detailed information about rejected phrases, access the Result property in the handler for the event.

SpeechRecognitionRejectedEventArgs derives from RecognitionEventArgs.

Examples

The following example recognizes phrases such as "Display the list of artists in the jazz category" or "Display albums gospel". The example uses a handler for the SpeechRecognitionRejected event to display a notification in the console when the speech input cannot be matched to the contents of the grammar with sufficient Confidence to produce a successful recognition. The handler also displays recognition result Alternates that were rejected because of low confidence scores.
