I'm making a C# program which uses System.Speech.Recognition and I need to save the words said at a point in my code. Such as the user can say "Google cats" and it would save "cats" to a string this way I can use this string to Google search the string which in this case is "cats". My code so far can be found here.

    Unlike forum sites, we don't use "Thanks", or "Any help appreciated", or signatures on [so]. See "[Should 'Hi', 'thanks,' taglines, and salutations be removed from posts?](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2950/should-hi-thanks-taglines-and-salutations-be-removed-from-posts). – John Saunders Dec 13 '13 at 02:23
  • Why? That makes me feel like I'm not talking to humans. Imagine if I was at the library asking the librarian where a book was and I just said "Where's Moby Dick?" and when he or she's done just leave. Is there a special reason why we can't use "Hi" || "Thanks"? – StackOverload Dec 13 '13 at 02:29

    We are not having a discussion here. This is not a discussion forum. It's a Q&S site. Please take the time to read the [faq] and [ask] and learn how things work here. The fact that we do things differently is the _reason_ the site is so successful. – John Saunders Dec 13 '13 at 02:30

    And, BTW, when people post links, they generally mean for you to read them. – John Saunders Dec 13 '13 at 02:31
  • I did read it. I'm just saying, I respect your authority. It just feels unhuman to not start off anything without a greeting. – StackOverload Dec 13 '13 at 02:35

    You clearly didn't read it well. Again, we are not having a conversation here. You ask a question, you get an answer, maybe not right away. Someone asks a question four years from now, they get the same answer you got today. – John Saunders Dec 13 '13 at 02:37

    My personal theory is that stripping salutations from questions probably increases SO's hit rate on Google, a good thing IMO. – Mark Feldman Dec 13 '13 at 03:04

You can do this by loading a grammar that matches google <any text>. Create a grammar builder, append google and append dictation.

Put this at the point where you load grammars:

GrammarBuilder googleGrammarBuilder = new GrammarBuilder();
googleGrammarBuilder.Append("google ");
googleGrammarBuilder.AppendDictation();
listener.LoadGrammar(new Grammar(googleGrammarBuilder) { Enabled = true });

And put this in your SpeechRecognized method:

if (e.Result.Text.StartsWith("google "))
{
    string googleQuery = e.Result.Text.Remove(0, 7);
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(String.Concat("http://google.com/search?q=", googleQuery));
}

The Process.Start line will open your default browser with the Google link.
