Selects and returns a section of the current recognized audio as binary data.
Namespace:
Microsoft.Speech.Recognition
Assembly:
Microsoft.Speech (in Microsoft.Speech.dll)
Syntax
| Visual Basic (Declaration) |
|---|
Public Function GetRange ( _ audioPosition As TimeSpan, _ duration As TimeSpan _ ) As RecognizedAudio |
| Visual Basic (Usage) |
|---|
Dim instance As RecognizedAudio Dim audioPosition As TimeSpan Dim duration As TimeSpan Dim returnValue As RecognizedAudio returnValue = instance.GetRange(audioPosition, _ duration) |
| C# |
|---|
public RecognizedAudio GetRange( TimeSpan audioPosition, TimeSpan duration ) |
Parameters
- audioPosition
- Type: System..::..TimeSpan
The starting point of the audio data to be returned.
- duration
- Type: System..::..TimeSpan
The length of the segment to be returned.
Return Value
Type: Microsoft.Speech.Recognition..::..RecognizedAudioReturns a RecognizedAudio instance that contains the subset of the original input selected by the values of audioPosition and duration.
Remarks
An ArgumentOutOfRangeException exception is thrown if audioPosition and duration attempt to reference beyond the bounds of the recognized audio.
Examples
The following example shows a testing routine that uses WriteToWaveStream, and WriteToAudioStream to write all of the recognized audio to a stream. It also uses GetRange to write selected portions of that audio to a stream.
 Note |
|---|
Because of the granularity of ticks and the non-zero size of the wave header, the size of a write to stream generated from a call such as GetRange(new TimeSpan (0), new TimeSpan (audio.Duration.Ticks / 2)0 may not be exactly half that of the write from calls such as WriteToWaveStream(waveStream) or WriteToAudioStream(audioStream). The following example takes this discrepancy into account. |
