RecognizeCompletedEventArgs.BabbleTimeout Property

public:
 property bool BabbleTimeout { bool get(); };

public bool BabbleTimeout { get; }

member this.BabbleTimeout : bool

Public ReadOnly Property BabbleTimeout As Boolean

Property Value

true if the SpeechRecognitionEngine has detected only background noise for longer than was specified by its BabbleTimeout property; otherwise false.

Examples

The following example performs asynchronous speech recognition on a speech recognition grammar, using the SpeechRecognitionEngine.RecognizeAsync method with the in-process recognizer. The example uses Choices and GrammarBuilder objects to create the speech recognition grammar before building it into a Grammar object. A handler for the SpeechRecognitionEngine.RecognizeCompleted event outputs information about the recognition operation to the console.
