SSpeechRecognizer delegate to be called for any word spoke

Question

Hi all,

I read about NSSpeechRecognizer and found that it can recognize a set of commands beings associated with it in delegate: -speechRecognizer:didRecognizeCommand: I have a simple question: can this delegate be called for any word spoken by user?? as I think.. only a finite number of words can be associated with it!

Thanks,

Miraaj

It's exactly what it says on the tin: It's for recognizing commands. So, yes, you need to tell it up front what commands it should recognize.

It's not a dictation API. I would guess that if you tried to load up the command list with an English dictionary, you'd make recognition very processor-intensive, slow, and inaccurate.

If you want dictation, you should file an enhancement request to ask for it.
