Speech Recognition

Getting Started

So let's start a project in Visual Basic. Select Standard EXE and when all the given codes and forms are loaded, go to Project \ Components. In the Components dialog, find and select the Microsoft Direct Speech Recognition (pic. 1).


(Pic. 1) In the components Dialog select Microsoft Direct Speech Recognition to have the component available to your project. This option is only available if you have the Microsoft Speech Engine installed.

Remember, this option is available only if you have the Microsoft Speech Engine installed. Now, an icon button that looks like an ear, (yes an ear!), should appear in the Toolbox bar (see pic. 2), that is the Speech Recognition component. Click on the button and draw it out on the form. Now your form will have the DirectSR component icon and also shown in the code window. DirectSR stands for "Direct Speech Recognition" and you guessed it, DirectSS stands for "Direct Speech Synthesis".


(Pic. 2) An Ear icon will appear in the toolbar representing the DirectSR component.
