SpeechRecognitionEngine.SetInputToAudioStream Method

public:
 void SetInputToAudioStream(System::IO::Stream ^ audioSource, System::Speech::AudioFormat::SpeechAudioFormatInfo ^ audioFormat);

public void SetInputToAudioStream (System.IO.Stream audioSource, System.Speech.AudioFormat.SpeechAudioFormatInfo audioFormat);

member this.SetInputToAudioStream : System.IO.Stream * System.Speech.AudioFormat.SpeechAudioFormatInfo -> unit

Public Sub SetInputToAudioStream (audioSource As Stream, audioFormat As SpeechAudioFormatInfo)

Parameters

Examples

The following example shows part of a console application that demonstrates basic speech recognition. The example uses input from an audio file, example.wav, that contains the phrases, "testing testing one two three" and "mister cooper", separated by a pause. The example generates the following output.

Starting asynchronous recognition...  
  Recognized text =  Testing testing 123  
  Recognized text =  Mr. Cooper  
  End of stream encountered.  
Done.  

Press any key to exit...

Remarks

If the recognizer reaches the end of the input stream during a recognition operation, the recognition operation finalizes with the available input. Any subsequent recognition operations can generate an exception, unless you update the input to the recognizer.
