The following example illustrates using a command vocabulary.


// Define the vocabulary
NChantCommandVocab nChantCommandVocab = nChantSR.CreateChantCommandVocab("commands");

// Add commands to the vocabulary
nChantCommandVocab.AddCommand("Open File");
nChantCommandVocab.AddCommand("Print File");
nChantCommandVocab.AddCommand("Close File");

// Enable the vocabulary
nChantCommandVocab.Enable();

// Disable the vocabulary
nChantCommandVocab.Disable();


// Define the vocabulary
CChantCommandVocab* pChantCommandVocab = pChantSR->CreateChantCommandVocab(L"commands");

// Add commands to the vocabulary
pChantCommandVocab->AddCommand(L"Open File");
pChantCommandVocab->AddCommand(L"Print File");
pChantCommandVocab->AddCommand(L"Close File");

// Enable the vocabulary
pChantCommandVocab->Enable();

// Disable the vocabulary
pChantCommandVocab->Disable();


// Define the vocabulary
CChantCommandVocab* pChantCommandVocab = pChantSR->CreateChantCommandVocab("commands");

// Add commands to the vocabulary
pChantCommandVocab->AddCommand("Open File");
pChantCommandVocab->AddCommand("Print File");
pChantCommandVocab->AddCommand("Close File");

// Enable the vocabulary
pChantCommandVocab->Enable();

// Disable the vocabulary
pChantCommandVocab->Disable();


var aTChantCommandVocab: TChantCommandVocab;
// Define the vocabulary
aTChantCommandVocab := aTChantSR.CreateChantCommandVocab('commands');

// Add commands to the vocabulary
aTChantCommandVocab.AddCommand('Open File');
aTChantCommandVocab.AddCommand('Print File');
aTChantCommandVocab.AddCommand('Close File');

// Enable the vocabulary
aTChantCommandVocab.Enable();

// Disable the vocabulary
aTChantCommandVocab.Disable();


// Define the vocabulary
JChantCommandVocab jChantCommandVocab = jChantSR.createChantCommandVocab("commands");

// Add commands to the vocabulary
jChantCommandVocab.addCommand("Open File");
jChantCommandVocab.addCommand("Print File");
jChantCommandVocab.addCommand("Close File");

// Enable the vocabulary
jChantCommandVocab.enable();

// Disable the vocabulary
jChantCommandVocab.disable();


' Define the vocabulary
Dim nChantCommandVocab As NChantCommandVocab
nChantCommandVocab = nChantSR.CreateChantCommandVocab("commands")

' Add commands to the vocabulary
nChantCommandVocab.AddCommand("Open File");
nChantCommandVocab.AddCommand("Print File");
nChantCommandVocab.AddCommand("Close File");

// Enable the vocabulary
nChantDictationVocab.Enable();

// Disable the vocabulary
nChantDictationVocab.Disable();


// Define the vocabulary
CChantDictationVocab* pChantDictationVocab = pChantSR->CreateChantDictationVocab(L"text");

// Enable the vocabulary
pChantDictationVocab->Enable();

// Disable the vocabulary
pChantDictationVocab->Disable();


// Define the vocabulary
CChantDictationVocab* pChantDictationVocab = pChantSR->CreateChantDictationVocab("text");

// Enable the vocabulary
pChantDictationVocab->Enable();

// Disable the vocabulary
pChantDictationVocab->Disable();


var aTChantDictationVocab: TChantDictationVocab;
// Define the vocabulary

An alternative to managing the speech recognition in your application is to use the SpeechKit ChantDragonCustom and ChantDragonEdit that map Windows text controls directly to the Dragon speech recognition engine.

The following example illustrates voice enabling a Dragon NaturallySpeaking custom edit control.


// Voice enable the textbox with Dragon dictation session
NChantDragonCustom nDragonBoxResource = nChantSR.CreateChantDragonCustom(textBox1, this, 0);

// Enable dictation
nDragonBoxResource.Enable();

// Disable dictation
nDragonBoxResource.Disable();


// Voice enable the textbox with Dragon dictation session
CChantDragonCustom* pDragonBoxResource = pChantSR->CreateChantDragonCustom(pEdit->GetSafeHwnd(), GetSafeHwnd(), 0);

// Enable dictation
pDragonBoxResource->Enable();

// Disable dictation
pDragonBoxResource->Disable();


// Voice enable the textbox with Dragon dictation session
CChantDragonCustom* pDragonBoxResource = pChantSR->CreateChantDragonCustom(Memo1->Handle, Form1->Handle, 0);

// Enable dictation
pDragonBoxResource->Enable();

// Disable dictation
pDragonBoxResource->Disable();


var aTChantDragonCustom: TChantDragonCustom;
// Voice enable the textbox with Dragon dictation session
aTChantDragonCustom := aTChantSR.CreateChantDragonCustom(Memo1.Handle, Handle, 0);

// Enable dictation
aTChantDragonCustom.Enable();

// Disable dictation
aTChantDragonCustom.Disable();
