Making WPF app easier to use with speech recognition
-
I it would make sense that it would be able to respond to "What can I say" in your own application and set controls to respond to certain commands. The application I am working on is simple enough that it should work fine with Speech Control, but some things are not working the greatest. Anyone have any ideas on where to start looking?

Matt, Can you say more about what issues you are having. I've been playing around with the Speech API in Vista (it's pretty sweet) and I might be able to help out. Not everything works in XP, though. James

Basically I want to set different controls with Cues to make it easier to work with. I want to avoid the type of mess that you get if you try to read email in Outlook using only speech recognition. -- modified at 14:07 Monday 26th February, 2007

Matt, It definitely seems do-able. You can use some kind of command class that you queue (you were talking about queues, right?) up and then execute whenever the last process has finished. I've never tried speech with email so I don't know the specific issues there. Is it that multiple docs try to get read at the same time or something? Also, are your problems specifically with the speech API (I might be able to help out, there) or more with the code around it that is specific to your application?

The problem I am trying to avoid is a situation where it is extremely difficult not intuitive to navigate. If I say Show Numbers in outlook there is several hundred numbers shown. If I say inbox it has no idea what to do. If I were doing an email app I want the user to be able to say inbox go straight to the inbox, not Show Numbers - 53 - Ok. Making more sense?

Matt, I think it's starting to make sense. You want to have more control over the Speech API, so you can customize which phrases map to which private methods of your email application. Is that it? Or is the mapping a problem you've already solved, and you are now trying to iron out the speech UI?

Mapping, thats it. I'm reading your article[^] right now, it looks as though it might be leading me the right direction.

Glad to hear it. Good luck with your project.
