Examples

The following example shows part of a console application that demonstrates basic speech recognition. Because this example uses the Multiple mode of the RecognizeAsync method, it performs recognition until you close the console window or stop debugging.

using System;  
using System.Speech.Recognition;  

namespace SpeechRecognitionApp  
{  
  class Program  
  {  
    static void Main(string[] args)  
    {  

      // Create an in-process speech recognizer for the en-US locale.  
      using (  
      SpeechRecognitionEngine recognizer =  
        new SpeechRecognitionEngine(  
          new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")))  
      {  

        // Create and load a dictation grammar.  
        recognizer.LoadGrammar(new DictationGrammar());  

        // Add a handler for the speech recognized event.  
        recognizer.SpeechRecognized +=   
          new EventHandler<SpeechRecognizedEventArgs>(recognizer_SpeechRecognized);  

        // Configure input to the speech recognizer.  
        recognizer.SetInputToDefaultAudioDevice();  

        // Start asynchronous, continuous speech recognition.  
        recognizer.RecognizeAsync(RecognizeMode.Multiple);  

        // Keep the console window open.  
        while (true)  
        {  
          Console.ReadLine();  
        }  
      }  
    }  

    // Handle the SpeechRecognized event.  
    static void recognizer_SpeechRecognized(object sender, SpeechRecognizedEventArgs e)  
    {  
      Console.WriteLine("Recognized text: " + e.Result.Text);  
    }  
  }  
}

Remarks

You can create an instance of this class for any of the installed speech recognizers. To get information about which recognizers are installed, use the static InstalledRecognizers method.

This class is for running speech recognition engines in-process, and provides control over various aspects of speech recognition, as follows:

The SpeechRecognitionEngine object is for the sole use of the process that instantiated the object. By contrast, the SpeechRecognizer shares a single recognizer with any application that wants to use it.

Note

Always call Dispose before you release your last reference to the speech recognizer. Otherwise, the resources it is using will not be freed until the garbage collector calls the recognizer object's Finalize method.

Constructors

SpeechRecognitionEngine()

Initializes a new instance of the SpeechRecognitionEngine class using the default speech recognizer for the system.
SpeechRecognitionEngine(CultureInfo)

Initializes a new instance of the SpeechRecognitionEngine class using the default speech recognizer for a specified locale.
SpeechRecognitionEngine(RecognizerInfo)

Initializes a new instance of the SpeechRecognitionEngine using the information in a RecognizerInfo object to specify the recognizer to use.
SpeechRecognitionEngine(String)

Initializes a new instance of the SpeechRecognitionEngine class with a string parameter that specifies the name of the recognizer to use.

Properties

AudioFormat

Gets the format of the audio being received by the SpeechRecognitionEngine.
AudioLevel

Gets the level of the audio being received by the SpeechRecognitionEngine.
AudioPosition

Gets the current location in the audio stream being generated by the device that is providing input to the SpeechRecognitionEngine.
AudioState

Gets the state of the audio being received by the SpeechRecognitionEngine.
BabbleTimeout

Gets or sets the time interval during which a SpeechRecognitionEngine accepts input containing only background noise, before finalizing recognition.
EndSilenceTimeout

Gets or sets the interval of silence that the SpeechRecognitionEngine will accept at the end of unambiguous input before finalizing a recognition operation.
EndSilenceTimeoutAmbiguous

Gets or sets the interval of silence that the SpeechRecognitionEngine will accept at the end of ambiguous input before finalizing a recognition operation.
Grammars

Gets a collection of the Grammar objects that are loaded in this SpeechRecognitionEngine instance.
InitialSilenceTimeout

Gets or sets the time interval during which a SpeechRecognitionEngine accepts input containing only silence before finalizing recognition.
MaxAlternates

Gets or sets the maximum number of alternate recognition results that the SpeechRecognitionEngine returns for each recognition operation.
RecognizerAudioPosition

Gets the current location of the SpeechRecognitionEngine in the audio input that it is processing.
RecognizerInfo

Gets information about the current instance of SpeechRecognitionEngine.

Methods

Dispose()

Disposes the SpeechRecognitionEngine object.
Dispose(Boolean)

Disposes the SpeechRecognitionEngine object and releases resources used during the session.
EmulateRecognize(RecognizedWordUnit[], CompareOptions)

Emulates input of specific words to the speech recognizer, using text in place of audio for synchronous speech recognition, and specifies how the recognizer handles Unicode comparison between the words and the loaded speech recognition grammars.
EmulateRecognize(String, CompareOptions)

Emulates input of a phrase to the speech recognizer, using text in place of audio for synchronous speech recognition, and specifies how the recognizer handles Unicode comparison between the phrase and the loaded speech recognition grammars.
EmulateRecognize(String)

Emulates input of a phrase to the speech recognizer, using text in place of audio for synchronous speech recognition.
EmulateRecognizeAsync(RecognizedWordUnit[], CompareOptions)

Emulates input of specific words to the speech recognizer, using an array of RecognizedWordUnit objects in place of audio for asynchronous speech recognition, and specifies how the recognizer handles Unicode comparison between the words and the loaded speech recognition grammars.
EmulateRecognizeAsync(String, CompareOptions)

Emulates input of a phrase to the speech recognizer, using text in place of audio for asynchronous speech recognition, and specifies how the recognizer handles Unicode comparison between the phrase and the loaded speech recognition grammars.
EmulateRecognizeAsync(String)

Emulates input of a phrase to the speech recognizer, using text in place of audio for asynchronous speech recognition.
