ISpeechRecoResult RecoContext Property (SAPI 5.3)

Microsoft Speech API 5.3

Interface: ISpeechRecoResult

RecoContext Property

The RecoContext property retrieves the current ISpeechRecoContext for the recognizer.

Applications may have multiple recognition contexts open at the same time. RecoContext provides a means to determine which context owns the recognition. For example, in situations with more than recognition context, a recognition result may call RecoContext to get the context associated with it. The returned context may be changed afterward and will not affect other contexts.

Syntax

Set:	(This property is read-only)
Get:	ISpeechRecoContext = ISpeechRecoResult.RecoContext

Parts

• ISpeechRecoResult
  The owning object.
• SpSharedRecoContext
  Set: (This property is read-only)
  Get: An SpSharedRecoContext variable that gets the property.

Example

The following Visual Basic form code reads the RecoContext property of a RecoResult. If more than one recognition context exists, the one owning RecoResult is retrieved. When the event interest is changed, no other recognition contexts are affected.

To run this code, paste it into the Declarations section of a form that contains no controls. In addition to the usual reference to the Microsoft Speech Object Library, this code also needs a reference to the simpleaudio 1.0 Type Library.
