This class provides access to the speech recognition service. This service allows access to the speech recognizer. Do not instantiate this class directly, instead, call SpeechRecognizer.CreateSpeechRecognizer(Android.Content.Context). This class's methods must be invoked only from the main application thread.

The implementation of this API is likely to stream audio to remote servers to perform speech recognition. As such this API is not intended to be used for continuous recognition, which would consume a significant amount of battery and bandwidth.

Please note that the application must have NoType:android/Manifest$permission;Href=../../../reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#RECORD_AUDIO permission to use this class.
