Hi Reejesh,
if you want to use System.Speech you have to add a WCF service to interact with the Speech Recognizer.

Another approach can be the usage of the Speech SDK SAPI and SpInprocRecognizer via COM:

Hi Davide,
Thanks for your reply..
But I fear it’s conceptually only, since Speech Recognizer need System.Speech namespace to work.
Can we add this to WCF application in order to achieve this?
Your comments are appreciated.
Thanks again!

Hi Reejesh,
conceptually it’s possible to use the Speech Recognition engine using SL4 and COM but haven’t tried it yet.

Thanks!

Hi Davide,
Nice article.
Is possible to invoke Speech Recognition Engine in SL 4.0?
Can we make a dictation software using SL4.0?
Your comments are appreciated…

Hi Jomit, have you installed the sample as an Out of Browser application? I’ve tried it in several machines running Windows 7 and it works well, if I’ll encounter this problem I’ll let you know.
Thanks,
Davide

Hi David,

I am getting the classic COMException (Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0×80040154)while running this. I am running this on Windows 7 and I also checked the registery for the CLSID and also registered the sapi.dll but no luck ?

Any help would be appreciated . .

Thanks,
Jomit

Great blog! Can you please provide more examples of speech API and speech recogition? I’d like to see demos of speech recogition as well as hear you talk about automation bridge some. I don’t know what this automation bridge is unless your talking about the ActiveX COM dynamic keyword.

It would be great if you could tell what version of the speech API will work with this dynamic keyword. I’m assuming any COM object should work.

Thanks again for a great blog on SL4 and Speech API!!
