Assembly:  Microsoft.Speech (in Microsoft.Speech.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class RecognizerUpdateReachedEventArgs _
    Inherits EventArgs
'Usage
Dim instance As RecognizerUpdateReachedEventArgs

public class RecognizerUpdateReachedEventArgs : EventArgs

Remarks

An instance of RecognizerUpdateReachedEventArgs is created when the SpeechRecognitionEngine object raises the RecognizerUpdateReached event at the completion of a RequestRecognizerUpdate() method.

You use the RequestRecognizerUpdate() methods to request the SpeechRecognitionEngine to pause. When the RecognizerUpdateReached event is raised, you can use the handler for the event to make modifications to the paused SpeechRecognitionEngine instance.

For example, while the SpeechRecognitionEngine is paused, you can load, unload, enable, and disable Grammar objects, and modify values for the BabbleTimeout, InitialSilenceTimeout, and EndSilenceTimeout properties. When handling SpeechRecognitionEngine.RecognizerUpdateReached events, a recognition engine pauses until the event handler returns.

For more information, see the RequestRecognizerUpdate method.

SpeechRecognitionRejectedEventArgs derives from EventArgs.

Examples

The following example shows a console application that loads and unloads Grammar objects. The application uses the RequestRecognizerUpdate() method to request the speech recognition engine to pause so it can receive an update. The application then loads or unloads a Grammar object.

At each update, a handler for SpeechRecognitionEngine.RecognizerUpdateReached event writes the name and status of the currently loaded Grammar objects to the console. As grammars are loaded and unloaded, the application first recognizes the names of farm animals, then the names of farm animals and the names of fruits, then only the names of fruits.
