Constraints are at the core of speech recognition and give your app greater control over the accuracy of speech recognition. Predefined dictation and web-search grammars provide speech recognition for your app without requiring you to author a grammar. When using these grammars, speech recognition is performed by a remote web service and the results are returned to the device. The default free-text dictation grammar can recognize most words and phrases that a user can say in a particular language, and is optimized to recognize short phrases.

The predefined dictation grammar is used if you don't specify any constraints for your SpeechRecognizer object. Free-text dictation is useful when you don't want to limit the kinds of things a user can say. Typical uses include creating notes or dictating the content for a message. The web-search grammar, like a dictation grammar, contains a large number of words and phrases that a user might say.

However, it is optimized to recognize terms that people typically use when searching the web. Because predefined dictation and web-search grammars can be large, and because they are online not on the device , performance might not be as fast as with a custom grammar installed on the device.

These predefined grammars can be used to recognize up to 10 seconds of speech input and require no authoring effort on your part. However, they do require a connection to a network. See Exception handling for in C or Visual Basic.
