I am looking to convert a .wav file recorded through an android phone at 16000 to text using C#; namely the System.Speech namespace. My code is mentioned below;
recognizer.SetInputToWaveFile(Server.MapPath("~/spoken.wav"));
recognizer.LoadGrammar(new DictationGrammar());
RecognitionResult result = recognizer.Recognize();
label1.Text = result.Text;
The is working perfectly with sample .wav "Hello world" file. However when i record something on teh phone and try to convert to on the pc, the converted text is no where close to what i had recoreded. Is there some way to make sure the audio file is transcribed accurately?
What format is the phone's audio file recorded in? Is the file encoded? Microsoft recognizer supports PCM, ALaw, and ULaw. Make sure you are recording in a supported format. You can look at the RecognizerInfo.SupportedAudioFormats Property - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.speech.recognition.recognizerinfo.supportedaudioformats(v=VS.90).aspx and check the formats your recognizer version supports.
Did you listen to the file you recorded on your phone? Is it noisy? Does it sound clear? Make sure you are feeding the recognizer the best sounding audio you can.
Since you are using a Dictation grammar, I'm assuming you're using Windows 7. Have you tried training the recognizer? My understanding is that the dictation grammar performance can be improved by training and that the standard Windows 7 speech recognition training will help its performance - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Set-up-Speech-Recognition
Some other questions on StackOverflow may also give you some insights. See good Speech recognition API to start.

I am still working on my speech pronunciation test. I have this code, but I need it to use SpeechRecognitionEngine instead of the system popup recognizer. This bit of working code is in VB, even though I prefer to work in C#, but this has been so difficult that I will settle for whatever code or programming language that I can get. This code is totally functional, and can be tested by simply pasting into an empty VB projects, and including Import System.Speech.Recognition. Can someone show me how to make this code use the SpeechEngine with the .
I can discuss setting the default audio input and getting rid of the recognizer start code, it of course must be removed. But, to keep things simple, I have left the code as is for live testing. Thanks

I just have tried to get list of chats and I am not able to get it.
from Chat chat in _skype.chats select new Chat
It doesn't include all chats. I have create new one and can't see it in list.
This will show all chats, including hidden ones. For this reason, you may see duplicates of chats with single contacts only.

this is what i have done so far....to get stream started...
know i want know.
how can i show this stream in picture box? and how to get images from this stream.
The MJEGStream includes events. Declare your Stream object on class level as
Private WithEvents Stream As AForge.Video.MJPEGStream
Then add an event handler to the MJPEGStream.NewFrame event with a sub like
Private Sub Handle_NewFrame(sender as Object, e as AForge.Video.NewFrameEventArgs)
Picturebox1.Image = e.Frame
End Sub
Start the stream like you have done in your code.
Don't forget to initialize the Source object.
Source = New AForge.Video.MJPEGStream("http://192.168.1.250/mjpeg.cgi")
The eventargs variable contains the new frame as an image that you can then display in a picturebox.
It's been a while since I have worked with AForge, but it should be ok.
I've got an app using .net UIAutomation, it eventually runs out of memory and crashes just monitoring windows being shown and closed. Seemed easier to show this in VB than C# but happens the same either way. It appears to be a leak/pool in the underlying proxy objects. Most of the memory is not being shown as in use as .net memory.
Any ideas on how to get this to stop leaking and still monitor StructureChangedEvents?

End Sub

If e.StructureChangeType = StructureChangeType.ChildrenInvalidated Then
Exit Sub
End If
Dim sourceElement As AutomationElement
Try
sourceElement = DirectCast(src, AutomationElement)
Catch ex As ElementNotAvailableException
Exit Sub
End Try

I would do something like this when you unsubscribe:
Automation.RemoveAllEventHandlers();
UIAeventHandler = null;
UIAutomation will keep some threads alive as long as you've got an AutomationEventHandler object around. Its pretty much a black box to me, but the above has fixed all issues that I had.
#jaws is correct (there are some additional things to think about), but it is in C#. for VB you need to do the following:
Automation.RemoveStructureChangedEventHandler(AutomationElement.RootElement, UIAeventHandler)
UIAeventHandler = Nothing
Because you do not set the UIAeventHandler to nothing, when you unsubscribe then, you are re-assigning the event handler which is already in memory.
To think about. Notice that you are calling subscribe when the form loads and subscribe/unsubscribe with a button. When the form loads then, the event handler is assigned and should work fine, that is until you hit unsubscribe/subscribe (in that order). When you did not set the UIAeventHandler to Nothing then, you are causing a memory leak because you then set the UIAeventHandler to a NEW instance on subscribe. Therefore, you could also do the following as suggested by #jaws :
Imports System.Windows.Automation
Public Class Form1
Dim UIAeventHandler as StructureChangedEventHandler
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
BtnStartStop.Text = "Stop"
Subscribe()
End Sub
Public Sub Subscribe()
UIAeventHandler = New StructureChangedEventHandler(AddressOf OnUIAutomationEvent)
Automation.AddStructureChangedEventHandler(AutomationElement.RootElement, TreeScope.Descendants, UIAeventHandler)
End Sub
Public Sub Unsubscribe()
Automation.RemoveStructureChangedEventHandler(AutomationElement.RootElement, UIAeventHandler)
UIAeventHandler = Nothing 'Here is the Important part!
End Sub
End Class
Is it possible to show/hide the scroll bar in a text box only when the line count in the text box is more than the number of lines displayed?
Consider using the RichTextBox -- it has that behavior built in.
Thanks dummy, it works! Here short version of dummy answer in c#
Call this code at the end of your SizeChanged and TextChanged handlers:
Size textBoxRect = TextRenderer.MeasureText(
this.YourTextBox.Text,
this.YourTextBox.Font,
new Size(this.YourTextBox.Width, int.MaxValue),
TextFormatFlags.WordBreak | TextFormatFlags.TextBoxControl);
try
{
this.YourTextBox.ScrollBars = textBoxRect.Height > this.YourTextBox.Height ?
ScrollBars.Vertical :
ScrollBars.None;
} catch (System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception)
{
// this sometimes throws a "failure to create window handle" error.
// This might happen if the TextBox is unvisible and/or
// too small to display a toolbar.
}
Public Class TextBoxScrollbarPlugin
Private WithEvents mTarget As TextBox
''' <summary>
''' After the Handle is created, mTarget.IsHandleCreated always returns
''' TRUE, even after HandleDestroyed is fired.
''' </summary>
''' <remarks></remarks>
Private mIsHandleCreated As Boolean = False
Public Sub New(item As TextBox)
mTarget = item
mIsHandleCreated = mTarget.IsHandleCreated
End Sub
Private Sub Update()
If Not mTarget.IsHandleCreated Then
Return
ElseIf Not mIsHandleCreated Then
Return
End If
Dim textBoxRect = TextRenderer.MeasureText(mTarget.Text,
mTarget.Font,
New Size(mTarget.Width, Integer.MaxValue),
TextFormatFlags.WordBreak + TextFormatFlags.TextBoxControl)
Try
If textBoxRect.Height > mTarget.Height Then
mTarget.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.Vertical
Else
mTarget.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.None
End If
Catch ex As System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception
'this sometimes throws a "failure to create window handle"
'error.
'This might happen if the TextBox is unvisible and/or
'to small to display a toolbar.
If mLog.IsWarnEnabled Then mLog.Warn("Update()", ex)
End Try
End Sub

mIsHandleCreated = True
End Sub
Private Sub mTarget_HandleDestroyed(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles mTarget.HandleDestroyed

End Sub

I've got tnimas solution working in vb. Functions quite well as written and I've not seen the errors.
Private Sub TextBoxSizeChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.SizeChanged
Dim textBoxRect As Size = TextRenderer.MeasureText(TextBox.Text, TextBox.Font, New Size(TextBox.Width, Integer.MaxValue), TextFormatFlags.WordBreak Or TextFormatFlags.TextBoxControl)
Try
TextBox.ScrollBar = If(textBoxRect.Height > TextBox.Height, ScrollBars.Vertical, ScrollBars.None)
Catch ex As Exception
'handle error
End Try
End Sub
I myself tried tnimas' solution but unable to catch the exception, so I use the WinApi to toggle the visible state of scrollbars instead like so:
Size textBoxRect = TextRenderer.MeasureText(YourTextBox.Text, YourTextBox.Font, new Size(YourTextBox.Width, int.MaxValue), TextFormatFlags.WordBreak | TextFormatFlags.TextBoxControl);
WinApi.ShowScrollBar(YourTextBox.Handle, (int)WinApi.ScrollBar.SB_VERT, textBoxRect.Height > YourTextBox.Height ? true : false);
This method does not cause the exception, though should note that hiding scrollbars like this will disable scroll messages, but this is fine if you're just hiding the scrollbars for when the text area can't be scrolled anyway.
