Examples

The following example is part of a console application that loads a speech recognition grammar and demonstrates asynchronous emulated input, the associated recognition results, and the associated events raised by the speech recognizer. If Windows Speech Recognition is not running, then starting this application will also start Windows Speech Recognition. If Windows Speech Recognition is in the Sleeping state, then EmulateRecognizeAsync always returns null.

    // operation has completed.

      // Initialize an instance of the shared recognizer.  
      using (SpeechRecognizer recognizer = new SpeechRecognizer())

        // Create and load a sample grammar.  
        Grammar testGrammar =  
          new Grammar(new GrammarBuilder("testing testing"));

        Console.WriteLine("Recognition result = {0}",  
          e.Result.Text ?? "<no text>");  
      }  
      else  
      {  
        Console.WriteLine("No recognition result");  
      }  
    }  

    // Handle the SpeechRecognizeCompleted event.  
    static void EmulateRecognizeCompletedHandler(  
      object sender, EmulateRecognizeCompletedEventArgs e)  
    {  
      if (e.Result == null)  
      {  
        Console.WriteLine("No result generated.");

      completed = true;

  }  
}  

Remarks

Each SpeechRecognizer object maintains a separate set of speech recognition grammars.
