| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
Enabled | Gets or sets a value that controls whether a Grammar can be used by a speech recognizer to perform recognition. (Inherited from Grammar.) |

GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
SetDictationContext | Adds a context to the dictation grammar. |
|
|
StgInit | The StgInit method initializes a strongly-typed grammar. (Inherited from Grammar.) |
|

This class provides applications with a predefined language model that can process spoken user input into text. This class supports both default and custom DictationGrammar objects. For information about selecting a dictation grammar, see the DictationGrammar(String) constructor.
By default, the DictationGrammar language model is context free. It does not make use of specific words or word order to identify and interpret audio input. To add context to the dictation grammar, use the SetDictationContext method.
Note

|
DictationGrammar objects do not support the Priority property. DictationGrammar throws a NotSupportedException if Priority is set. |
The following example creates three dictation grammars, adds them to a new SpeechRecognitionEngine object, and returns the new object. The first grammar is the default dictation grammar. The second grammar is the spelling dictation grammar. The third grammar is the default dictation grammar that includes a context phrase. The SetDictationContext method is used to associate the context phrase with the dictation grammar.
private SpeechRecognitionEngine LoadDictationGrammars() { // Create a default dictation grammar. DictationGrammar defaultDictationGrammar = new DictationGrammar(); defaultDictationGrammar.Name = "default dictation"; defaultDictationGrammar.Enabled = true; // Create the spelling dictation grammar. DictationGrammar spellingDictationGrammar = new DictationGrammar("grammar:dictation#spelling"); spellingDictationGrammar.Name = "spelling dictation"; spellingDictationGrammar.Enabled = true; // Create the question dictation grammar. DictationGrammar customDictationGrammar = new DictationGrammar("grammar:dictation"); customDictationGrammar.Name = "question dictation"; customDictationGrammar.SetDictationContext("How do you", null); customDictationGrammar.Enabled = true; // Create a SpeechRecognitionEngine object and add the grammars to it. SpeechRecognitionEngine recoEngine = new SpeechRecognitionEngine(); recoEngine.LoadGrammar(defaultDictationGrammar); recoEngine.LoadGrammar(spellingDictationGrammar); recoEngine.LoadGrammar(customDictationGrammar); return recoEngine; }
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2

// Create the question dictation grammar.The exception text reads "Grammar is not loaded into this recognizer." This error is ambiguous to me. Can anyone explain why?
DictationGrammar customDictationGrammar =
new DictationGrammar("grammar:dictation");
customDictationGrammar.Name = "question dictation";
customDictationGrammar.SetDictationContext("How do you", null); // This always fails with an exception.
customDictationGrammar.Enabled = true;
