Matching wildcard/dictation in Microsoft Speech Grammar

Question

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 ?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

For my project SARAH

• I load all XML grammar
• Then I create a dictation grammar
• Some user's action enable/disable the dictation mode

I know there should be a better way to do it since WSRMacro use '*' but I don"t know how to do it.

Might be a clue
