ISpeechRecoGrammar DictationSetState method (SAPI 5.3)

  • Article

Microsoft Speech API 5.3

Interface: ISpeechRecoGrammar

DictationSetState Method

The DictationSetState method sets the dictation topic state.

  
    ISpeechRecoGrammar.DictationSetState(
     State As SpeechRuleState)

Parameters

  • State
    A SpeechRuleState constant that specifies the dictation topic state.

Return Value

None.

Example

The following Visual Basic form code demonstrates the use of the DictationLoad, DictationSetState, and DictationUnload methods. It creates a grammar, configures the grammar to perform both dictation and command and control (C and C) recognition, and toggles between the two types of recognition.

To run this code, create a form with the following control:

  • A command button called Command1

Paste this code into the Declarations section of the form.

The Form_Load procedure creates a grammar object, associates it with the system dictation lexicon and the Solitaire C and C grammar, and begins recognition in dictation mode. The Command1_Click procedure toggles the recognition mode between dictation and C and C. The Form_Unload procedure unloads the dictation grammar and deactivates the C and C grammar.
