GrammarBuilder::Append Method (SemanticResultValue^)

.NET Framework (current version)
 

Appends a semantic value to the current sequence of grammar elements.

Namespace:   System.Speech.Recognition
Assembly:  System.Speech (in System.Speech.dll)

void Append(
	SemanticResultValue^ value

Parameters

value
Type: System.Speech.Recognition::SemanticResultValue^

The semantic value to append.

value is added to the end of the current sequence of elements.

System_CAPS_importantImportant

When you append SemanticResultValue or SemanticResultKeyinstances to a GrammarBuilder object, make sure you avoid creating duplicate semantic elements with the same key name or multiple semantic elements that could repeatedly modify the Value property of a SemanticValueobject. The speech recognizer can throw an exception if it encounters these circumstances. For more information about building a speech recognition grammar that contains semantic information, see Understanding SemanticResultValue and SemanticResultKey Objects.

The following example is part of a console application for choosing origin and destination cities for a flight. The application recognizes phrases such as "I want to fly from Miami to Chicago." The handler for the SpeechRecognized event uses the SemanticResultKey to extract the airport code specified in the SemanticResultValue for the origin and destination cities.

    static void Main(string[] args)

    // Initialize an in-process speech recognition engine.

      using (SpeechRecognitionEngine recognizer =
         new SpeechRecognitionEngine())
      {

        // Create GrammarBuilder objects and append SemanticResultValue objects 
        // that contain cities and airport codes.

        GrammarBuilder chicago = new GrammarBuilder();
        chicago.Append(new SemanticResultValue("Chicago", "ORD"));

        GrammarBuilder boston = new GrammarBuilder();
        boston.Append(new SemanticResultValue("Boston", "BOS"));

        GrammarBuilder miami = new GrammarBuilder();
        miami.Append(new SemanticResultValue("Miami", "MIA"));

        GrammarBuilder dallas = new GrammarBuilder();
        dallas.Append(new SemanticResultValue("Dallas", "DFW"));

        // Create a Choices object and add the cities using implicit conversion from 
        // SemanticResultValue to GrammarBuilder.
        Choices cities = new Choices();
        cities.Add(new Choices(new GrammarBuilder[] { chicago, boston, miami, dallas }));

        // Build the phrase and add SemanticResultKeys.
        GrammarBuilder chooseCities = new GrammarBuilder();
        chooseCities.Append("I want to fly from");
        chooseCities.Append(new SemanticResultKey("origin", cities));
        chooseCities.Append("to");
        chooseCities.Append(new SemanticResultKey("destination", cities));

        // Build a Grammar object from the GrammarBuilder.
        Grammar bookFlight = new Grammar(chooseCities);
        bookFlight.Name = "Book Flight";

        // Add a handler for the LoadGrammarCompleted event.
        recognizer.LoadGrammarCompleted += 
          new EventHandler<LoadGrammarCompletedEventArgs>(recognizer_LoadGrammarCompleted);

        // Add a handler for the SpeechRecognized event.
        recognizer.SpeechRecognized +=

        // Configure the input to the recognizer.
        recognizer.SetInputToDefaultAudioDevice();

        // Load the grammar object and start recognition.
        recognizer.LoadGrammarAsync(bookFlight);
        recognizer.RecognizeAsync();

        // Keep the console window open.
        Console.ReadLine();
