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

Syntax

'Declaration

Parameters

  • initialSilenceTimeout
    A valid instance of TimeSpan defining a time out period, after which if no input is received an error is generated.

Return Value

Returns a valid instance of RecognitionResult is the recognition engine has be able to recognize the input, null is recognition fails.

Remarks

If input is received by a recognition engine within the time time span indicated by initialSilenceTimeout argument Recognize(TimeSpan), performs a single recognition operation and then terminates.

The synchronous recognition operations of Recognize(TimeSpan) do not generate any of the SpeechRecognitionEngine events, in particular RecognizeCompleted is not generated.

Recognition failure may be due either to timing out against the values of the initialSilenceTimeout argument or the BabbleTimeout property on the current instance of SpeechRecognitionEngine, or because the recognition engine finds no matches against the Grammar that has been loaded into it.
