Speech Recog. Python 2.4/win32api

Speech Recog. Python 2.4/win32api

Speech Recog. Python 2.4/win32api

(OP)
Hi. Im working on a little project and I have the majority of the system together. I am having trouble though with the speech recognition. the code i am using looks like this:

from win32com.client import constants
import win32com.client
import pythoncom

"""Sample code for using the Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 via COM in Python.
Requires that the SDK be installed (it's a free download from
http://www.microsoft.com/speech
and that MakePy has been used on it (in PythonWin,
select Tools | COM MakePy Utility | Microsoft Speech Object Library 5.1).

After running this, then saying "One", "Two", "Three" or "Four" should
display "You said One" etc on the console. The recognition can be a bit
shaky at first until you've trained it (via the Speech entry in the Windows
Control Panel."""
class SpeechRecognition:
""" Initialize the speech recognition with the passed in list of words """
def __init__(self, wordsToAdd):
# For text-to-speech
self.speaker = win32com.client.Dispatch("SAPI.SpVoice")
# For speech recognition - first create a listener
self.listener = win32com.client.Dispatch("SAPI.SpSharedRecognizer")
# Then a recognition context
self.context = self.listener.CreateRecoContext()
# which has an associated grammar
self.grammar = self.context.CreateGrammar()
# Do not allow free word recognition - only command and control
# recognizing the words in the grammar only
self.grammar.DictationSetState(0)
# Create a new rule for the grammar, that is top level (so it begins
# a recognition) and dynamic (ie we can change it at runtime)
self.wordsRule = self.grammar.Rules.Add("wordsRule",
constants.SRATopLevel + constants.SRADynamic, 0)
# Clear the rule (not necessary first time, but if we're changing it
# dynamically then it's useful)
self.wordsRule.Clear()
# And go through the list of words, adding each to the rule
[ self.wordsRule.InitialState.AddWordTransition(None, word) for word in wordsToAdd ]
# Set the wordsRule to be active
self.grammar.Rules.Commit()
self.grammar.CmdSetRuleState("wordsRule", 1)
# Commit the changes to the grammar
self.grammar.Rules.Commit()
# And add an event handler that's called back when recognition occurs
self.eventHandler = ContextEvents(self.context)
# Announce we've started
self.say("Started successfully")
"""Speak a word or phrase"""
def say(self, phrase):
self.speaker.Speak(phrase)


"""The callback class that handles the events raised by the speech object.
See "Automation | SpSharedRecoContext (Events)" in the MS Speech SDK
online help for documentation of the other events supported. """
class ContextEvents(win32com.client.getevents("SAPI.SpSharedRecoContext")):
"""Called when a word/phrase is successfully recognized -
ie it is found in a currently open grammar with a sufficiently high
confidence"""
def OnRecognition(self, StreamNumber, StreamPosition, RecognitionType, Result):
newResult = win32com.client.Dispatch(Result)
print "You said: ",newResult.PhraseInfo.GetText()

if __name__=='__main__':
wordsToAdd = [ "One", "Two", "Three", "Four" ]
speechReco = SpeechRecognition(wordsToAdd)
while 1:
pythoncom.PumpWaitingMessages()

--------------End Code-------------

It works fine, but as you can see the only words it will recognize are the words in the wordsToAdd list. I would like to set this up to be a "speek freely" type program. But i am having trouble determining what functions to use.

Hmm...No response from anyone yet. I hope my efforts are not futile.

- Why didnt we just start out keeping things simple?
