  Microsoft Speech Technologies Homepage

Specifies the type of audio file used to contain the recorded speech. Optional.

<record type=audioType />

Remarks

The following audio types are recognized as valid for the type attribute.

Type Description
audio/basic Headerless 8Khz 8-bit mono, 8Khz 8-bit mono (PCM) single-channel compressed audio based on the telephony standard of the locale where it is used. This can either be a-law or u-law.
audio/wav 8Khz, 8-bit mono (PCM) single-channel compressed audio based on the telephony standard of the locale where it is used. This can either be a-law or u-law. This is the default for telephony applications.
audio/x-wav 16Khz PCM, 22Khz PCM, 8Khz PCM. This is the default type for multimodal applications.

Multimodal applications use higher sample rates to gain higher recognition accuracy.

Example

The following code demonstrates the use of the type attribute.
