wav file reco to text

Unless I'm missing something, you aren't initializing cpRecoResult to
anything when the SPEI_RECOGNITION event occurs. Try adding a line to get
the result:
cpRecoResult = spEvent.RecoResult();

and then one after processing that result to release the result
cpRecoResult.Release();

Hello,
The following source code shows a simple console program that takes wav file
to reco into text.
however the statement
" hr = cpRecoResult->GetPhrase((SPPHRASE**)&pPhrase); "
crashes the program with segmentation violation error,
any one knows why ?
Thanks

Hi, Dave
Thanks for your response.
However, after I add the line you suggested
cpRecoResult = spEvent.RecoResult();
The next line gets crashed, which is:
hr = pPhrase->GetText(SP_GETWHOLEPHRASE,SP_GETWHOLEPHRASE, TRUE, &pwszText,
NULL);

Any idea why ?

Thanks

Hai

Ah I see. GetPhrase is returning a structure {SPPHRASE}. You are casting
this to a COM pointer {ISpPhrase} and then trying to call a method on it.
This is definitely going to crash. I think you just want to call GetText on
cpRecoResult directly.

Hi, Dave

Thank you very much for your great help.
Well, I now get some result, however, so terrible that makes me think this
may not be good way to go with.
Also, WaitForNotifyEvent(INFINITE); keeps returning S_OK that makes
spEvent.GetFrom() crashed, do you
have any suggestion for me to do this simple task ?

The basic job I want to do is to take a wave file, then reco its content to
text.
Is my code mostly OK, or where did I miss anything ?

Thanks again

Hai

I've figured out the way to build it.

I am glad to see your code. i am interested to wav ASR too,and i also use Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1,i am in China,so i mainly used to recognize Chinese. i readed your code and i tried to execute it.But i can just succeed to recognized only the number.Please tell me what i should do to recognize Chinese! i look forward to hearing from you soon!
