Raised when the SpeechRecognitionEngine receives input that matches any of its loaded and enabled Grammar objects.

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

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Event SpeechRecognized As EventHandler(Of SpeechRecognizedEventArgs)
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As SpeechRecognitionEngine
Dim handler As EventHandler(Of SpeechRecognizedEventArgs)

AddHandler instance.SpeechRecognized, handler
C#
public event EventHandler<SpeechRecognizedEventArgs> SpeechRecognized

Remarks

You can initiate a recognition operation using the one of the Recognize()()()() or RecognizeAsync()()()() methods. The recognizer raises the SpeechRecognized event if it determines that input matches one of its loaded Grammar objects with a sufficient level of confidence to constitute recognition. The Result property of the SpeechRecognitionRejectedEventArgs contains the accepted RecognitionResult object. Handlers of SpeechRecognized events can obtain the recognized phrase as well as a list of recognition Alternates with lower confidence scores.

You can modify the confidence level at which the SpeechRecognitionEngine accepts or rejects speech input with one of the UpdateRecognizerSetting()()()() methods. You can modify how the speech recognition responds to non-speech input using the BabbleTimeout, InitialSilenceTimeout, EndSilenceTimeout, and EndSilenceTimeoutAmbiguous properties.

When the recognizer receives input that matches a grammar, the Grammar object can raise its SpeechRecognized event. The Grammar object's SpeechRecognized event is raised prior to the speech recognizer's SpeechRecognized event. Any tasks specific to a particular grammar should always be performed by a handler for the SpeechRecognized event.

When you create a SpeechRecognized delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event-handler delegates, see Events and Delegates.

Examples

The following example is part of a console application that creates a speech recognition grammar, constructs a Grammar object, and loads it into the SpeechRecognitionEngine to perform recognition. The grammar recognizes spoken input such as "I want to fly from Chicago to Miami". The example retrieves information from the recognition result using a handler for the SpeechRecognized event.
