If your application has difficulty recognizing spoken input, you can eliminate speech recognition as the source of the problem by typing input into the debugger. If problems still exist after you type the input, it might be that a grammar rule is incorrectly designed. Another possibility is that a recognition result is associated with one activity, but your program code is working with a recognition result from a different activity. To find out how to enter text into the debugger, see How to: Provide Text Input While Debugging. To find out how to enter speech into the debugger, see How to: Provide Voice Input While Debugging.

Entering Text into the Debugger

To enter text input into the debugger

  1. Start the Survey tutorial application in the debugger.

    The tutorial application asks "On average, how many movies do you see in a year?"

  4. In the Voice Response Debugging Window dialog box, type I see six movies each year in the Text Input box.

    Important

    Do not type a numeral for the number of movies. The grammar rule does not recognize text input that contains numerals.

    The tutorial application says "Alright 6. Thank you for your time. Goodbye."
