Factoids Common Across Languages

A number of factoids describe input that is common to all language recognizers and need not have different formats for different languages. The following table lists factoids that are common across all languages.

Factoid	Definition	Examples
Digit	Sets bias for a single digit. The recognizer is biased toward returning only single digits when this factoid is set.	0-9
Email	Sets bias for an email address.	someone@example.com
Web	Sets bias for various URL formats. Note: The default settings for the recognizer include the Web factoid. Because of this, you may not notice a large difference between the Web factoid and the default setting. However, the Web factoid does help eliminate spaces between words in a URL.	http://microsoft.net https://microsoft.us/ https://www.microsoft.au https://microsoft.com www.microsoft_world.com www.microsoft.us http://www.microsoft.com/myfile.htm http://www.microsoft.com/myfile.html http://www.microsoft.com/myfile.asp http://www.microsoft.uk http://www.microsoft.info www.microsoft.biz
Default	Returns the recognizer to its default settings.	The default setting for factoids for western languages includes the system dictionary, user dictionary, various punctuations, and the Web and Number factoids. The default setting for factoids for East Asian languages includes all characters supported by the recognizer.
None	Disables all factoids, dictionaries, and the language model.	This factoid should be used only when you do not want the recognizer to use any grammar rules or dictionaries, including the system dictionary. This factoid is useful for input of random strings such as product codes. Do not use the Coerce flag with this factoid.
