Hi all,

 I am trying to record the message, and get the message store in the database. I follow the example lab2 in the jump start training, and i could find the location of the file. However, after we listen to the message, the message is automatically deleted. Are there anyway we can modify the way that recordactivities did to the recording file.

I'm not familiar with the jump start training you mentioned so I don't know what lab2 does, however is is by design that the the recording is deleted.

You can get the location of the file from the "RecordedFilePath" property of the activity. You'll have to do what you want to do to the file before the activity finishes executing because I think that's when it will be deleted.

i want to check out the recorded messages, once a week. is it possible to get the recorded message?

From the message immediately before yours -

    "You can get the location of the file from the "RecordedFilePath" property of the activity. You'll have to do what you want to do to the file     before the activity finishes executing because I think that's when it will be deleted."

I haven't tried the RecordMessageActivity but I don't thnk it is deleted until later possibly when the application finishes. I base that on this example from the help docs.

private void playMessage_TurnStarting(object sender, 
TurnStartingEventArgs e)
{
  this.playMessage.MainPrompt.ClearContent();
  this.playMessage.MainPrompt.AppendAudio(
  this.recordMessage.RecordedFilePath);
}

I'll play around with this to confirm it (if no one else confirms it) when I get back from my road trip.

The Jump Start material is something that Microsoft has provided to GotSpeech and we are hosting it for our users. You can read more about it here http://gotspeech.net/blogs/marshallharrison/archive/2007/04/27/ocs-speech-server-2007-jumpstart.aspx

Once again I want to publicly thank Ahmed and the rest of the Microsoft people who spend some of their valuable time helping out in our forums.

Your insight and participation is greatly appreciated by all of our members.

hi,

I cant able to get the file and the control moves to next control. So i tried to take the file in the action event.

Its working fine, but i wan to take all the recorded message once a week.

I think, we can get the recorded message from etl file.

Is it right?

If you have audio logging enabled, yes you can get the audio that MSS "heard" from the ETL file.

Why not just copy the recorded files to some location where you can retrieve them when you want?
 

Can you specify when and where this file is created ?
And is the recordAudioActivity property "LogResults=True" what you mean with audio loggin enabled ?
 

If you have the logging configured to do so the audio will be in the .etl files. If you use MssLogToDatabase you can import the files into a SQL database and get to them there using the Analytics and Tuning Studio.

Also Stephen Potter did a blog about extracting audio directly from the .etl files - http://blogs.msdn.com/spokenword/archive/2007/08/30/extracting-session-audio-from-ocs-2007-speech-server-logs.aspx

I can't seem to get the recordAudioActivity to work. It would seem fairly easy to use but I don't even here the beep when I set the PlayBeep=true;

 
I can see the temporary file being created but its only 1KB. Any ideas?

I was able to copy the wave file from the recordAudioActivity. The code snipe below was put in the turning start event of the next action after the recordaudioactivity. I'm sure you could use the same code on one of the event handlers on the recordaudioactivity.
 

System.IO.File.Copy(recordAudioActivity1.RecordedFilePath, "c:\\temp\\copy.wav");

Yes its possible. What you need to do is , Record the message with the file name concatinating with the date and save it in the prompt location folder.

For Example :- RecMess_05122008_1 , RecMess_05122008_2,RecMess_05132008_3 .Once the messages are stored in the prompt location, go with the directory stucture and pick all the files and assign to QuestionAnswerActivity or statementactivity,  append audio with bookmark and loop all the files , the questionanswer activity  or statement activity will play all the prompts.

Before that you need to get only files of start date and end date ,for this get the file and append the file to arrayList with the start and end date of the file name. 

then bind to Question answer activity or statement activity to prompt to the user. 

Here is the code to save the recoreded message.

this.recordMessage.AudioEncoding = Microsoft.SpeechServer.Codec.Pcm
this.recordMessage.CanBargeIn = true;
this.recordMessage.EndSilenceTimeout = System.TimeSpan.Parse("00:00:01.5000000");
this.recordMessage.InitialSilenceTimeout = System.TimeSpan.Parse("00:00:01.5000000");
this.recordMessage.Name = "recordMessage";
this.recordMessage.PlayBeep = true;
this.recordMessage.SilenceTrimmedLength = System.TimeSpan.Parse("00:00:00.5000000");
this.recordMessage.TerminationDigits = Microsoft.SpeechServer.RecordTerminationDigits.None;
this.recordMessage.UseDefaultGrammars = true;

Once the code is added to the record message activity add a code activity , double click on the code activity and add the following code

as show below.

 if (recordMessage.RecordedFilePath != null)

            {

                NameValueCollection Settings = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;
                string strRecorededPromptsLocation = @"c:\RecodedMessages";
               
                string strFileName = "RecMess_" + DateTime.Now + ".wav";
                string messageStorageLocation = strRecorededPromptsLocation + strFileName;

                if (null != messageStorageLocation)
                {
                    File.Copy(recordMessage.RecordedFilePath, messageStorageLocation, true);
                 
                }
            }

 Then add the logic to get the recoded files and bind to control.
