Remarks

A GetAndConfirmActivity operates in two phases: the first phase (the get phase) obtains the user's response and the second phase (the confirmation phase) confirms that the user's utterance matches the semantic item. Each phase has its own private QuestionAnswerActivity.

Default confirmation grammars, which are generated automatically, are able to recognize yes and no, and can perform dynamic correction based on the results from the get-phase recognition.

For an example of dynamic correction, suppose that the semantic value obtained in the get phase is "red," which generates a confirmation prompt of "Did you say red?" A user response of "No, blue" causes a denial of the semantic value "red" and resets the semantic value to "blue." If the confidence in this utterance is less than or equal to the value in ConfirmationThreshold, the confirmation phase restarts. If the confidence in this utterance is greater than the value in ConfirmationThreshold, GetAndConfirmActivity exits with GetAndConfirm.RecognitionResult reflecting the new semantic value.

There are default grammars for GetAndConfirmActivity for each language that ships with Speech Server. For information about the default grammar for a particular language, click the appropriate link:

Note

The default confirmation grammars do not appear in the ConfirmationGrammars collection.
