Examples

This example uses the speech recognizer from a microphone and listens to events generated by the recognizer.

public async Task SpeechContinuousRecognitionAsync()
{
    // Creates an instance of a speech config with specified subscription key and region.
    // Replace with your own subscription key and service region (e.g., "westus").
    var config = SpeechConfig.FromSubscription("YourSubscriptionKey", "YourServiceRegion");

    // Creates a speech recognizer from microphone.
    using (var recognizer = new SpeechRecognizer(config))
    {
        // Subscribes to events.
        recognizer.Recognizing += (s, e) => {
            Console.WriteLine($"RECOGNIZING: Text={e.Result.Text}");
        };

        recognizer.Recognized += (s, e) => {
            var result = e.Result;
            Console.WriteLine($"Reason: {result.Reason.ToString()}");
            if (result.Reason == ResultReason.RecognizedSpeech)
            {
                    Console.WriteLine($"Final result: Text: {result.Text}.");
            }
        };

        recognizer.Canceled += (s, e) => {
            Console.WriteLine($"\n    Canceled. Reason: {e.Reason.ToString()}, CanceledReason: {e.Reason}");
        };

        recognizer.SessionStarted += (s, e) => {
            Console.WriteLine("\n    Session started event.");
        };

        recognizer.SessionStopped += (s, e) => {
            Console.WriteLine("\n    Session stopped event.");
        };

        // Starts continuous recognition. 
        // Uses StopContinuousRecognitionAsync() to stop recognition.
        await recognizer.StartContinuousRecognitionAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);

        do
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to stop");
        } while (Console.ReadKey().Key != ConsoleKey.Enter);

        // Stops recognition.
        await recognizer.StopContinuousRecognitionAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
    }
}

Fields

disposed	disposed is a flag used to indicate if object is disposed. (Inherited from Recognizer)
gch	GC handle for callbacks for context. (Inherited from Recognizer)
isDisposing	Indicates whether the object is currently being disposed. (Inherited from Recognizer)
pointerHandle	Internal for logging. (Inherited from Recognizer)
recognizerLock	recognizerLock is used to synchronize access to objects member variables from multiple threads (Inherited from Recognizer)

Properties

AuthorizationToken	Gets or sets authorization token used to communicate with the service. Note: Your code needs to ensure that the authorization token is valid. Before the authorization token expires, your code needs to refresh it by calling this setter with a new valid token. Otherwise, the recognizer will produce errors during recognition.
EndpointId	Gets the endpoint ID of a custom speech model to use for speech recognition.
OutputFormat	Gets the output format setting.
Properties	The collection of properties and their values defined for this SpeechRecognizer. Note: The property collection is only valid until the recognizer owning this Properties is disposed or finalized.
SpeechRecognitionLanguage	Gets the language name that was set when the recognizer was created.

Methods

Dispose()	Dispose of associated resources. (Inherited from Recognizer)
Dispose(Boolean)	This method performs cleanup of resources. The Boolean parameter `disposing` indicates whether the method is called from Dispose() (if `disposing` is true) or from the finalizer (if `disposing` is false). Derived classes should override this method to dispose resource if needed. (Inherited from Recognizer)
Finalize()
RecognizeOnceAsync()	Starts speech recognition as an asynchronous operation.
StartContinuousRecognitionAsync()	Starts speech recognition on a continuous audio stream as an asynchronous operation, until StopContinuousRecognitionAsync() is called. You must subscribe to events to receive recognition results.
StartKeywordRecognitionAsync(KeywordRecognitionModel)	Configures the recognizer with the given keyword model. After calling this method, the recognizer is listening for the keyword to start the recognition. Call StopKeywordRecognitionAsync() to end the keyword initiated recognition. You must subscribe to events to receive recognition results.
StopContinuousRecognitionAsync()	Stops a running recognition operation as soon as possible and immediately requests a result based on the the input that has been processed so far. This works for all recognition operations, not just continuous ones, and facilitates the use of push-to-talk or "finish now" buttons for manual audio endpointing.
StopKeywordRecognitionAsync()	Ends the keyword initiated recognition.

Events

Canceled	The event Canceled signals that the speech recognition was canceled.
Recognized	The event Recognized signals that a final recognition result is received.
Recognizing	The event Recognizing signals that an intermediate recognition result is received.
SessionStarted	Defines event handler for session started event. (Inherited from Recognizer)
SessionStopped	Defines event handler for session stopped event. (Inherited from Recognizer)
SpeechEndDetected	Defines event handler for speech end detected event. (Inherited from Recognizer)
SpeechStartDetected	Defines event handler for speech start detected event. (Inherited from Recognizer)
