CorrectWords not accepting alternates from SAPI 5 recognition result

The information in this article applies to:

• SpeechKit 6

Symptoms

The correctwords parameter is ignored for SAPI 5 recognition result corrections. It currently only supports correcting by selecting an alternate.

Cause

This is by design. SAPI 5.1 only supports correction via alternate selection. SAPI 5.3 (Vista) introduces an option to override the alternates and supply a correction.

Status

Fixed in SpeechKit build 6.0.7.0 for SAPI 5.3 (Vista) and SAPI 5.4 (Windows 7).

Component Formats Impacted

All component formats.
