SpeechRecognition

Demonstrates
============
SpeechRecognition demonstrates the two speech recognition classes that are
present in System.Speech.Recognition namespace. System's default shared speech
recognizer can be used by SpeechRecognizer class. Users have limited control
over this shared recognizer. In Windows 7 the settings of the shared
recognizer can be accessed in Control Panel under "Ease of Access -> Speech
Recognition Options -> Advanced Speech Options". Creating a SpeechRecognizer
object will also activate the Windows Speech Recognition if it's not running
already. For more control over speech recognition, SpeechRecognitionEngine class
can be used.

This sample also demostrates how to load and use dictation grammars, how to use
the GrammarBuilder class to easily create grammars programatically and how to
load SRGS grammars from files. The events that are generated during the
recognition process are also logged to inform the user.
 
Sample Language Implementations

To run the sample:
=================
    1. Navigate to the directory that contains the executable, using the command
       prompt or Windows Explorer.
    2. Type SpeechRecognition.exe at the command line, or double-click the icon

The SpeechRecognition sample utilizes the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
available in .NET Framework 3.0. Compiling this sample requires .NET Framework
3.0 or higher. 

Known issues:
============
The Windows Speech Recognition dictation scratchpad might pop up when running the 
SpeechRecognition sample while Windows Speech Recognition is listening. The 
dictation scratchpad is a new feature in Windows 7 that allows for dictation in 
any Windows application that supports text input.
