ISpeechRecoResult Times Property (SAPI 5.3)

Microsoft Speech API 5.3

Interface: ISpeechRecoResult

Times Property

The Times property retrieves the time information associated with the result.

Syntax

Set:	(This property is read-only)
Get:	ISpeechRecoResultTimes = ISpeechRecoResult.Times

Parts

• ISpeechRecoResult
  The owning object.
• ISpeechRecoResultTimes
  Set: (This property is read-only)
  Get: An ISpeechRecoResultTimes variable containing the time information for the recognition.

Example

The following Visual Basic form code reads ISpeechRecoResultTimes for the current recognition. Because that object's four properties are read-only, their values are added to a string for display in a message box. RecoResult.

To run this code, paste it into the Declarations section of a form that contains no controls. In addition to the usual reference to the Microsoft Speech Object Library, this code also needs a reference to the simpleaudio 1.0 Type Library.
