Matching wildcard/dictation in Microsoft Speech Grammar

I'm using Microsoft Speech API to load a grxml grammar:

Grammar grammar = new Grammar(file);
grammar.Enabled = true;

SpeechRecognitionEngine sre = GetEngine();
sre.LoadGrammarAsync(grammar);

Based on MSDN I can not find tag to match a wildcard / spoken text like:

<item>My message is {dictation}</item>

It seems to be availalble with code with a DictationGrammar and appendDictation(). It's also available with WSRMacro XML using * but I do not how to do it in XML ?

The skip text but I need to recognize it.

Am I missing something ?

Solution

  • If you're using the Kinect speech engine, you cannot use dictation at all; the engine simply doesn't support it.
