XML Schema: GRAMMAR

Quick-links: [Elements] [Attributes] [Source]

This schema describes the SAPI 5.0 SR Command and Control grammar format which is based on the XML framework. The schema is included in the speech grammar compiler tool (gramcomp.exe or gc.exe) and does not need to be included in your grammar files. It is provided as a reference document. NOTE: This schema is based on the Microsoft schema language and is not fully W3C compliant. This schema will be rewritten and will be compliant with the W3C standard once it has been approved by the W3C.

This schema describes the following elements and attributes:

Elements	Attributes	Element-specific Attributes

Document conventions:

• [] - optional
• []* - zero or more times
• + - one or more times

empty content

The element cannot contain text or elements. Note that if the model attribute is set to "open", the element can contain text and additional elements.

mixed content

The element can contain a mix of named elements and text. This is the default value.

one order
