Examples

The following example shows a console application that loads and unloads Grammar objects. The application uses the RequestRecognizerUpdate method to request the speech recognition engine to pause so it can receive an update. The application then loads or unloads a Grammar object.

At each update, a handler for SpeechRecognitionEngine.RecognizerUpdateReached event writes the name and status of the currently loaded Grammar objects to the console. As grammars are loaded and unloaded, the application first recognizes the names of farm animals, then the names of farm animals and the names of fruits, then only the names of fruits.

Remarks

RecognizerUpdateReached events provide a mechanism for pausing a speech recognition engine to apply atomic and synchronous modifications, such as loading and unloading grammars.

If your application is using a SpeechRecognitionEngine instance to manage recognition, it can use one of the SpeechRecognitionEngine.RequestRecognizerUpdate methods to request that the engine pauses to receive an update. The SpeechRecognitionEngine instance raises a SpeechRecognitionEngine.RecognizerUpdateReached event when it is ready for the update.

While a SpeechRecognitionEngine instance is paused, you can load, unload, enable, and disable Grammar objects, and modify values for the BabbleTimeout, InitialSilenceTimeout, and EndSilenceTimeout properties.

If your application is using a SpeechRecognizer instance to manage recognition, it can use one of the SpeechRecognizer.RequestRecognizerUpdate methods to request that the engine pauses to receive an update. The SpeechRecognizer instance raises a SpeechRecognizer.RecognizerUpdateReached event when it is ready for the update.

While a SpeechRecognizer instance is paused, you can load, unload, enable, and disable Grammar objects.

When handling SpeechRecognitionEngine.RecognizerUpdateReached and SpeechRecognizer.RecognizerUpdateReached events, a recognition engine pauses until the event handler returns.

RecognizerUpdateReachedEventArgs derives from EventArgs.
