RecognizeCompletedEventArgs.InitialSilenceTimeout Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Speech.Recognition

Assembly:

System.Speech.dll

Package:

System.Speech v9.0.0

Source:

RecognizeCompletedEventArgs.cs

Gets a value that indicates whether an initial silence timeout generated the RecognizeCompleted event.

public:
 property bool InitialSilenceTimeout { bool get(); };

public bool InitialSilenceTimeout { get; }

member this.InitialSilenceTimeout : bool

Public ReadOnly Property InitialSilenceTimeout As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if the SpeechRecognitionEngine has detected only silence for a longer time period than was specified by its InitialSilenceTimeout property; otherwise false.

Examples

The following example performs asynchronous speech recognition on a speech recognition grammar, using the SpeechRecognitionEngine.RecognizeAsync method with the in-process recognizer. The example uses Choices and GrammarBuilder objects to create the speech recognition grammar before building it into a Grammar object. A handler for the SpeechRecognitionEngine.RecognizeCompleted event outputs information about the recognition operation to the console.
