How to get the blue box of speech recognition while using inproc speech recogniton in sapi?

I am working with sapi 5.4 and the IspRecognizer i am currently using is a instance of CLSID_SpInprocRecognizer instead of CLSID_SpSharedRecognizer and after I started using this the default blue box of windows recognition is not appearing any more. How can i be in in proc speech recognition and get the blue box for my application?

Solution

  • The WSR UX is only available with the shared recognizer. It's intentionally not available with inproc recognizers for a variety of reasons:

    • To allow developers a way to build custom speech experiences w/o interference from WSR
    • Inproc recognizers can be configured with SR engines that aren't supported by WSR
    • WSR assumes that the default microphone is being used, which isn't necessarily the case with inproc recognizers
