SpeechRecognitionEngine.cs

public:
 SpeechRecognitionEngine();

public SpeechRecognitionEngine ();

Public Sub New ()

Remarks

Before the speech recognizer can begin speech recognition, you must load at least one recognition grammar and configure the input for the recognizer.

To load a grammar, call the LoadGrammar or LoadGrammarAsync method.

To configure the audio input, use one of the following methods:

• SetInputToAudioStream

• SetInputToDefaultAudioDevice

• SetInputToNull

• SetInputToWaveFile

• SetInputToWaveStream

Examples

The following example shows part of a console application that demonstrates basic speech recognition, and initializes a speech recognizer for the en-US locale.

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

Microsoft Windows and the System.Speech API accept all valid language-country codes. To perform speech recognition using the language specified in the CultureInfo argument, a speech recognition engine that supports that language-country code must be installed. The speech recognition engines that shipped with Microsoft Windows 7 work with the following language-country codes.

• en-GB. English (United Kingdom)

• en-US. English (United States)

• de-DE. German (Germany)

• es-ES. Spanish (Spain)

• fr-FR. French (France)

• ja-JP. Japanese (Japan)

• zh-CN. Chinese (China)

• zh-TW. Chinese (Taiwan)

Two-letter language codes such as "en", "fr", or "es" are also permitted.

Before the speech recognizer can begin recognition, you must load at least one speech recognition grammar and configure the input for the recognizer.

To load a grammar, call the LoadGrammar or LoadGrammarAsync method.

To configure the audio input, use one of the following methods:

• SetInputToAudioStream

• SetInputToDefaultAudioDevice

• SetInputToNull

• SetInputToWaveFile

• SetInputToWaveStream

Examples

The following example shows part of a console application that demonstrates basic speech recognition, and initializes a speech recognizer that supports the English language.

 using System;  
using System.Speech.Recognition;  

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

      // Select a speech recognizer that supports English.  
      RecognizerInfo info = null;  
      foreach (RecognizerInfo ri in SpeechRecognitionEngine.InstalledRecognizers())  
      {  
        if (ri.Culture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName.Equals("en"))  
        {  
          info = ri;  
          break;  
        }  
      }  
      if (info == null) return;  

      // Create the selected recognizer.  
      using (SpeechRecognitionEngine recognizer =  
        new SpeechRecognitionEngine(info))  
      {  

        // 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 InstalledRecognizers method.

Before the speech recognizer can begin recognition, you must load at least one speech recognition grammar and configure the input for the recognizer.

To load a grammar, call the LoadGrammar or LoadGrammarAsync method.

To configure the audio input, use one of the following methods:

• SetInputToAudioStream

• SetInputToDefaultAudioDevice

• SetInputToNull

• SetInputToWaveFile

• SetInputToWaveStream

Examples

The following example shows part of a console application that demonstrates basic speech recognition, and creates an instance of the Speech Recognizer 8.0 for Windows (English - US).

using System;  
using System.Speech.Recognition;  

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

      // Create an instance of the Microsoft Speech Recognizer 8.0 for  
      // Windows (English - US).  
      using (SpeechRecognitionEngine recognizer =  
        new SpeechRecognitionEngine("MS-1033-80-DESK"))  
      {  

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

        // Add a handler for the speech recognized event.  
        recognizer.SpeechRecognized += new EventHandler(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

The token name of the recognizer is the value of the Id property of the RecognizerInfo object returned by the RecognizerInfo property of the recognizer. To get a collection of all the installed recognizers, use the static InstalledRecognizers method.

Before the speech recognizer can begin recognition, you must load at least one speech recognition grammar and configure the input for the recognizer.

To load a grammar, call the LoadGrammar or LoadGrammarAsync method.

To configure the audio input, use one of the following methods:

• SetInputToAudioStream

• SetInputToDefaultAudioDevice

• SetInputToNull

• SetInputToWaveFile

• SetInputToWaveStream
