EasySpeech Controls v2.0

IEasyListen

The IEasyListen interface provides speech recognition support for your applications. It provides two modes of speech recognition: Voice-Dictation and Voice-Command.

  • Voice-Dictation
  • Voice-Command

    • When a phrase is recognized during the Voice-Dictation or the Voice-Command recognitions, the OnRecognitionFinalResult event is fired passing the text recognized.
