The following workflow activities provided by Speech Server recognize a limited set of predefined commands:

The grammars that define these commands are built into the activities. These grammars are provided for the purpose of debugging and are not recommended for use in deployed applications. Before deploying an application, develop grammars that are appropriate for your application and set the Grammars property of the activities to the location of the replacement grammars. Any grammars specified in the Grammars property are used and the default grammars are used if the UseDefaultGrammars property is true. If the Grammars property is empty when the UseDefaultGrammars property is false, a run-time exception is raised.
