SPEECH RECOGNITION MACRO RUNTIME

The disclosed speech recognition system enables users to define personalized, context-aware voice commands without extensive software development. Command sets may be defined in a user-friendly language and stored in an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) file. Each command object within the command set may include one or more user configurable actions, one or more configurable rules, and one or more configurable conditions The command sets may be managed by a command set loader, that loads and processes each command set into computer executable code. The command set loader may enable and disable command sets. A macro processing component may provide a speech recognition grammar to an API of the speech recognition engine based on currently enabled commands. When the speech recognition engine recognizes user speech consistent with the grammar, the macro processing component may initiate the one or more computer executable actions.
