This sample program identifies a command spoken by the user from a set of commands, and displays it. If an application uses speech recognition solely to impress people, it will work well for demos but will not be used by real users.

It makes the application more fun/realistic.

It makes features in the application easier to get to.

It makes the application easier to use.

In general, use Command and Control recognition when: (A Voice menu contains a list of commands to which an application can respond.) If the engine finds a matching command in a Voice menu, it notifies the application of the match, and the application carries out the command. If the engine succeeds, it compares the command text to that of the commands in the active Voice menus. When the user speaks a command into the audio input device, the speech recognition engine attempts to transcribe the spoken input into text. Voice commands involve the use of an audio input device, such as a microphone or a telephone, a speech recognition engine, and a Voice menu. Voice commands allow the user to control an application by speaking commands through an audio input device rather than by using the mouse or keyboard, giving the user hands-free control of the application. Each voice command has information in addition to the spoken command, such as a description string and a command ID.

'Open a file' and 'Send mail to ' are typical voice commands. When they say one, the application is notified which command was spoken.

Contained within every Voice menu is a list of voice commands that users can say. Most programs will have one Voice menu for the main window and one for every dialog box.

Basically, to use voice commands, an application designs a Voice menu that corresponds to a window or state within the application. The Voice Command design mimics a Windows menu in behavior, providing a 'menu' of commands that users can speak. Command and Control does not allow speech dictation. With this interface, a user gives the computer simple commands, such as 'Open the file', and can answer simple yes/no questions. It is designed to provide command and control speech recognition for applications. The Voice Command interface is the high-level interface for speech recognition. You can download the Microsoft Speech Recognition Engine from here. The Voice Command Demo demonstrates a simple speech recognition by showing you the commands it recognizes.Ī speech recognition engine should be installed to run the program.
