Interface: ISpeechGrammarRuleState

AddSpecialTransition Method

The AddSpecialTransition method adds a special transition from the current rule state to another rule state in the same rule.

When the word sequence accepted by the special transition is spoken, the rule can go from the current state to the DestinationState. A rule accepts a word sequence when the rule can go from the initial state to the end state using the word sequence.

Special transitions may not be supported by all speech engines. There are three types of special transitions:

• Wildcard: A Wildcard accepts any one word and ignores it.
• Dictation: A Dictation accept any one word and returns it in the result.
• Textbuffer: A Textbuffer accepts the word sequence and can be set later using ISpeechRecoGrammar.SetWordSequenceData and ISpeechRecoGrammar.SetTextSelection.
