  • Article

Namespace: Microsoft.Speech.Recognition
Assembly: Microsoft.Speech (in microsoft.speech.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration

Parameters

  • grammar
    An instance of Grammar specify the grammar to add to an instance of SpeechRecognitionEngine.

Remarks

If the Grammar specified by the grammar parameter has already been loaded, a InvalidOperationException will be generated.

Example

The example below shows the atomic, synchronous loading and the unloading of instances of Grammar on a running SpeechRecognitionEngine by an anonymous method that handles RecognizerUpdateReached events, based on the user token custom object (GrammarRequest) supplied to the method.

recognizer.RecognizerUpdateReached +=
       delegate(object s, RecognizerUpdateReachedEventArgs args) {
           GrammarRequest request = args.UserToken as GrammarRequest; //cast and check if incoming type is a request
           if (request != null) { // We know this is a Grammar request now
               if (request.Grammar == null)
                   throw new ArgumentException("Invalid grammar used.");
           }
           switch (request.RequestType) {

               case GrammarRequestType.LoadGrammar:
                   RemoveDuplicateGrammar(request.Grammar);
                   _recognizer.LoadGrammar(request.Grammar);
                    break;
               case GrammarRequestType.UnloadGrammar:
                   _recognizer.UnloadGrammar(request.Grammar);
                   UpdateGrammarTree(_grammarTreeView, _recognizer);
                   //DisplayGrammarUnload(request.Grammar);
                   break;
           }

       };

}
