GrammarBuilder.AppendRuleReference Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Speech.Recognition
Assembly:
System.Speech.dll
Package:
System.Speech v9.0.0

Appends a grammar file or a grammar rule to the current sequence of grammar elements.

Overloads

AppendRuleReference(String)

Appends a grammar definition file to the current sequence of grammar elements.
AppendRuleReference(String, String)

Appends the specified rule of a grammar definition file to the current sequence of grammar elements.

Remarks

The AppendRuleReference methods can append a grammar file or a grammar rule from a file. These methods allow applications to make use of pre-deployed or publicly available grammar rules. The application must have read access to the location of specified grammar files.

These methods can read a speech recognition grammar from the following formats.

Compiling an XML-format SRGS grammar file to a binary grammar file with the .cfg extension can reduce the time consumed by searches for a match, especially if the grammar requires recognition of a large number of words and phrases. For information about compiling SRGS grammars to the CFG binary format, see SrgsGrammarCompiler.

AppendRuleReference(String)

Source:
GrammarBuilder.cs
Source:
GrammarBuilder.cs
Source:
GrammarBuilder.cs

Appends a grammar definition file to the current sequence of grammar elements.

public:
 void AppendRuleReference(System::String ^ path);
public void AppendRuleReference (string path);
member this.AppendRuleReference : string -> unit
Public Sub AppendRuleReference (path As String)

Parameters

path
String

The path or Universal Resource Identifier (URI) of the file that describes a speech recognition grammar in a supported format.

Examples

The following C# example creates a speech recognition grammar that uses the rule named Cities in a local SRGS file, cities.grxml. The content of the cities.grxml file appears below the C# code example.

private static Grammar CreateCitiesGrammar1()
{
  GrammarBuilder builder = new GrammarBuilder();
  builder.AppendRuleReference("file://c:/temp/cities.grxml");

  Grammar citiesGrammar = new Grammar(builder);
  citiesGrammar.Name = "Cities Grammar 1";
  return citiesGrammar;
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?>
<grammar version="1.0" xml:lang="en-US"
         xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/06/grammar"
         tag-format="semantics/1.0" root="Main">

  <!-- cities.grxml:
    Defines an SRGS grammar for requesting a flight. This grammar includes
    a Cities rule that lists the cities that can be used for departures
    and destinations. -->

  <rule id="Main">
    <item>
      I would like to fly from <ruleref uri="#Cities"/>
      to <ruleref uri="#Cities"/>
    </item>
  </rule>

  <rule id="Cities" scope="public">
    <one-of>
      <item> Seattle </item>
      <item> Los Angeles </item>
      <item> New York </item>
      <item> Miami </item>
    </one-of>
  </rule>
</grammar>

Remarks

The URI provided by the path argument may be local or remote. The application must have read access to the location of specified grammar files.

A W3C Speech Recognition Grammar Specification (SRGS) representation can define a root rule. This method appends the grammar, beginning with its root rule, to the current sequence of grammar elements. To append a specific grammar rule, use the AppendRuleReference method.
