Providing Access to Speech Recognition

Use QA controls to provide access to speech recognition. Use a single QA control for each question and answer cycle, or for each prompt an application speaks to a user.

To specify general QA control properties

1. From the Speech Toolbox, drag a QA control onto the design canvas of an .aspx page.

2. Right-click the QA control, and on the shortcut menu, click Property Builder to open the General panel of the QA Property Builder.

3. In the ID text box, type a unique ID for this QA control.

   Note  The ID of a Speech Control, Application Speech Control, or Basic Speech Control must consist entirely of ASCII characters in the ranges A-Z, a-z and 0-9. IDs containing characters outside this range may fail to display properly, and references to these IDs may fail.

4. If applicable, in the Speech Settings Item box, type or select the ID of the SpeechControlSettingsItem to apply to this QA control.

5. In the SpeechIndex text box, type the evaluated activation index of this control. Developers can also specify the evaluated activation order using the Speech Controls Outline.

6. If applicable, in the ClientActivationFunction text box, type the name of a client-side script function called to evaluate whether this QA control can be activated.

7. Select the AllowCommands check box to specify that a user can interrupt this dialog by issuing a command to the application, or clear the AllowCommands check box to specify that a user cannot interrupt this dialog. The check box is selected by default.
