public:
 void Append(System::String ^ phrase, int minRepeat, int maxRepeat);

public void Append (string phrase, int minRepeat, int maxRepeat);

member this.Append : string * int * int -> unit

Public Sub Append (phrase As String, minRepeat As Integer, maxRepeat As Integer)

Parameters

Examples

The following example creates a speech recognition grammar for phrases such as "Call James at work" and "Call Anne on her cell phone", where the word "phone" is optional. GrammarBuilder and Choices objects are used to construct the grammar. The example highlights the use of the Append method.

public static Grammar CreatePhonePhrase()
{
  // Create alternatives for person names, locations, devices, and pronouns.
  Choices personChoice = new Choices(new string[] {"Anne", "James", "Mary", "Sam"});
  Choices locationChoice = new Choices(new string[] {"home", "work"});
  Choices deviceChoice = new Choices(new string[] {"home", "work", "cell"});
  Choices pronounChoice = new Choices(new string[] {"his", "her"});

  // Create a phrase for the receiving device, which optionally contains the word "phone".
  GrammarBuilder devicePhrase = new GrammarBuilder(pronounChoice);
  devicePhrase.Append(deviceChoice);
  devicePhrase.Append("phone", 0, 1);

  // Create alternatives for phrases specifying a device or a location.
  GrammarBuilder atLocation = new GrammarBuilder("at");
  atLocation.Append(locationChoice);

  GrammarBuilder onDevice = new GrammarBuilder("on");
  onDevice.Append(devicePhrase);

  Choices howChoice = new Choices(new GrammarBuilder[] {atLocation, onDevice});

  // Build the final phrase.
  GrammarBuilder callWho = new GrammarBuilder("Call");
  callWho.Append(personChoice);
  callWho.Append(howChoice);

  // Create the Grammar object.
  Grammar callGrammar = new Grammar(callWho);
  callGrammar.Name = "Call Grammar";

  return callGrammar;
}

Remarks

The value of minRepeat must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to the value of maxRepeat.

public void Append (string phrase, System.Speech.Recognition.SubsetMatchingMode subsetMatchingCriteria);

member this.Append : string * System.Speech.Recognition.SubsetMatchingMode -> unit

Public Sub Append (phrase As String, subsetMatchingCriteria As SubsetMatchingMode)

Parameters

Examples

The following example creates a speech recognition grammar for each SubsetMatchingMode value. For example, the generated grammar OrderedSubset recognizes the phrases, "three four five" and "one three five", and the grammar Subsequence recognizes the phrase "three four five", but not the phrase, "one three five".

private Grammar[] CreateSubsetMatchTest()
{
  List<Grammar> grammars = new List<Grammar>(4);

  string phrase = "one two three four five six";
  foreach (SubsetMatchingMode mode in
    Enum.GetValues(typeof(SubsetMatchingMode)))
  {
    GrammarBuilder gb = new GrammarBuilder();
    gb.Append(phrase, mode);

    Grammar grammar = new Grammar(gb);
    grammar.Name = mode.ToString();
    grammars.Add(grammar);
  }

  return grammars.ToArray();
}

Remarks

The subset element is added to the end of the current sequence of elements. For more information about building a speech recognition grammar using strings, see Using Strings to Create a GrammarBuilder Grammar.

Public Sub Append (key As SemanticResultKey)

Parameters

Examples

The following example is part of a console application for choosing origin and destination cities for a flight. The application recognizes phrases such as "I want to fly from Miami to Chicago." The handler for the SpeechRecognized event uses the SemanticResultKey to extract the airport code specified in the SemanticResultValue for the origin and destination cities.

using System;
using System.Speech.Recognition;

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

    // Initialize an in-process speech recognition engine.
    {

         new SpeechRecognitionEngine())
      {

        // Create a Choices object and add  cities and airport codes
        // using SemanticResultValue objects.
        Choices cities = new Choices();
        cities.Add(new SemanticResultValue("Chicago", "ORD"));
        cities.Add(new SemanticResultValue("Boston", "BOS"));
        cities.Add(new SemanticResultValue("Miami", "MIA"));
        cities.Add(new SemanticResultValue("Dallas", "DFW"));

        // Build the phrase and add SemanticResultKeys.
        GrammarBuilder chooseCities = new GrammarBuilder();
        chooseCities.Append("I want to fly from");
        chooseCities.Append(new SemanticResultKey("origin", cities));
        chooseCities.Append("to");
        chooseCities.Append(new SemanticResultKey("destination", cities));

        // Build a Grammar object from the GrammarBuilder.
        Grammar bookFlight = new Grammar(chooseCities);
        bookFlight.Name = "Book Flight";

        // Add a handler for the LoadGrammarCompleted event.
        recognizer.LoadGrammarCompleted +=
          new EventHandler<LoadGrammarCompletedEventArgs>(recognizer_LoadGrammarCompleted);

        // Add a handler for the SpeechRecognized event.
        recognizer.SpeechRecognized +=
          new EventHandler<SpeechRecognizedEventArgs>(recognizer_SpeechRecognized);

        // Configure the input to the recognizer.
        recognizer.SetInputToDefaultAudioDevice();

        // Load the grammar object and start recognition.
        recognizer.LoadGrammarAsync(bookFlight);
        recognizer.RecognizeAsync();

        // Keep the console window open.
        Console.ReadLine();
      }
    }

    // Handle the LoadGrammarCompleted event.
    static void recognizer_LoadGrammarCompleted(object sender, LoadGrammarCompletedEventArgs e)
    {
      Console.WriteLine("Grammar loaded: " + e.Grammar.Name);
      Console.WriteLine();
    }

    // Handle the SpeechRecognized event.
    static void recognizer_SpeechRecognized(object sender, SpeechRecognizedEventArgs e)
    {
      Console.WriteLine("Speech recognized:  " + e.Result.Text);
      Console.WriteLine();
      Console.WriteLine("Semantic results:");
      Console.WriteLine("  The flight origin is " + e.Result.Semantics["origin"].Value);
      Console.WriteLine("  The flight destination is " + e.Result.Semantics["destination"].Value);
    }
  }
}

Remarks

key is added to the end of the current sequence of elements.
