Hi,
I'm trying to use the System.Speech.Recognition; but every time I'm getting different exceptions (even when using examples from MSDN).
When using this example (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.speech.recognition.speechrecognizer(v=vs.110).aspx) I'm getting this:
System.PlatformSupportedException: There is not installed any recognitionprogram. At System.Speech.Recognition.RecognizerBase.Initialize(SapiRecognizer recognizer, boolean inproc) At System.Speech.Recognition.SpeechRecognizer.get_RecoBase() At System.Speech.Recognition.SpeechRecognizer.LoadGrammar(Grammar grammar) At SharedRecognizer.Program.Main(String[] args) i D:\Projects....: line 25
I've been reading hundreds of guides and watched billions of videos on youtube to see if I could find a solution to this, but no luck so far :-/
I'm really hoping someone in here have an idea how to fix this.
code from the link above
using System;
using System.Speech.Recognition;
using System.Threading;
namespace SharedRecognizer
{
class Program
{
// Indicate whether the asynchronous emulate recognition
// operation has completed.
static bool completed;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Initialize an instance of the shared recognizer.
using (SpeechRecognizer recognizer = new SpeechRecognizer())
{
// Create and load a sample grammar.
Grammar testGrammar =
new Grammar(new GrammarBuilder("testing testing"));
testGrammar.Name = "Test Grammar";
recognizer.LoadGrammar(testGrammar);
// Attach event handlers for recognition events.
recognizer.SpeechRecognized +=
new EventHandler<SpeechRecognizedEventArgs>(
SpeechRecognizedHandler);
recognizer.EmulateRecognizeCompleted +=
new EventHandler<EmulateRecognizeCompletedEventArgs>(
EmulateRecognizeCompletedHandler);
completed = false;
// Start asynchronous emulated recognition.
// This matches the grammar and generates a SpeechRecognized event.
recognizer.EmulateRecognizeAsync("testing testing");
// Wait for the asynchronous operation to complete.
while (!completed)
{
Thread.Sleep(333);
}
completed = false;
// Start asynchronous emulated recognition.
// This does not match the grammar or generate a SpeechRecognized event.
recognizer.EmulateRecognizeAsync("testing one two three");
// Wait for the asynchronous operation to complete.
while (!completed)
{
Thread.Sleep(333);
}
}
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey();
}
// Handle the SpeechRecognized event.
static void SpeechRecognizedHandler(
object sender, SpeechRecognizedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Result != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Recognition result = {0}",
e.Result.Text ?? "<no text>");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("No recognition result");
}
}
// Handle the SpeechRecognizeCompleted event.
static void EmulateRecognizeCompletedHandler(
object sender, EmulateRecognizeCompletedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Result == null)
{
Console.WriteLine("No result generated.");
}
// Indicate the asynchronous operation is complete.
completed = true;
}
}
}

Treehouse TeacherHenrik,
Did you manage to resolve the issue that you were encountering? If not, what version of Windows are you using? Did the above code always throw the same exception? Or did it sometimes work without any errors?
Thanks ~James

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 38,322 PointsHi James,
Yeah I got pretty much the same exception every time, but I made it work after a couple of days by installing the english version of Windows :-) I find it odd that the english version got speechrecognition but the danish version dont :-/
