SpeechRecognizer Constructor

Definition

Initializes a new instance of the SpeechRecognizer class.

public:
 SpeechRecognizer();
public SpeechRecognizer ();
Public Sub New ()

Examples

The following example is part of a console application that loads a speech recognition grammar and demonstrates asynchronous emulated input, the associated recognition results, and the associated events raised by the speech recognizer. If Windows Speech Recognition is not running, then starting this application will also start Windows Speech Recognition. If Windows Speech Recognition is in the Sleeping state, then EmulateRecognizeAsync always returns null.

using System;  
using System.Speech.Recognition;  
using System.Threading;  

namespace SharedRecognizer  
{  
  class Program  
  {  

    // Indicate whether the asynchronous emulate recognition  
    // operation has completed.  
    static bool completed;  

    static void Main(string[] args)  
    {  

      // Initialize an instance of the shared recognizer.  
      using (SpeechRecognizer recognizer = new SpeechRecognizer())  
      {  

        // Create and load a sample grammar.  
        Grammar testGrammar =  
          new Grammar(new GrammarBuilder("testing testing"));  
        testGrammar.Name = "Test Grammar";  
        recognizer.LoadGrammar(testGrammar);  

        // Attach event handlers for recognition events.  
        recognizer.SpeechRecognized +=  
          new EventHandler<SpeechRecognizedEventArgs>(  
            SpeechRecognizedHandler);  
        recognizer.EmulateRecognizeCompleted +=  
          new EventHandler<EmulateRecognizeCompletedEventArgs>(  
            EmulateRecognizeCompletedHandler);  

        completed = false;  

        // Start asynchronous emulated recognition.   
        // This matches the grammar and generates a SpeechRecognized event.  
        recognizer.EmulateRecognizeAsync("testing testing");  

        // Wait for the asynchronous operation to complete.  
        while (!completed)  
        {  
          Thread.Sleep(333);  
        }  

        completed = false;  

        // Start asynchronous emulated recognition.  
        // This does not match the grammar or generate a SpeechRecognized event.  
        recognizer.EmulateRecognizeAsync("testing one two three");  

        // Wait for the asynchronous operation to complete.  
        while (!completed)  
        {  
          Thread.Sleep(333);  
        }  
      }  

      Console.WriteLine();  
      Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");  
      Console.ReadKey();  
    }  

    // Handle the SpeechRecognized event.  
    static void SpeechRecognizedHandler(  
      object sender, SpeechRecognizedEventArgs e)  
    {  
      if (e.Result != null)  
      {  
        Console.WriteLine("Recognition result = {0}",  
          e.Result.Text ?? "<no text>");  
      }  
      else  
      {  
        Console.WriteLine("No recognition result");  
      }  
    }  

    // Handle the SpeechRecognizeCompleted event.  
    static void EmulateRecognizeCompletedHandler(  
      object sender, EmulateRecognizeCompletedEventArgs e)  
    {  
      if (e.Result == null)  
      {  
        Console.WriteLine("No result generated.");  
      }  

      // Indicate the asynchronous operation is complete.  
      completed = true;  
    }  
  }  
}  

Remarks

Each SpeechRecognizer object maintains a separate set of speech recognition grammars.
