LVGrammar_ParseSentence

Use a loaded grammar object to parse a sentence.

Function

int LVGrammar_ParseSentence(HGRAMMAR hgram, const char* sentence)

hgram

A handle to the grammar.

sentence

The sentence to parse.

The sentence is not covered by the grammar.

non-0

The number of distinct parses.

Assume a grammar was defined as:

root $yes_no;
$yes_no = $yes | $no;
$yes = yes [please];
$no = no [thank you];

You can use this grammar to validate sentences as follows:

int count = LVGrammar_ParseSentence(grammar, "no thank you"); // returns 1
int count = LVGrammar_ParseSentence(grammar, "no thanks"); // returns 0

With this function, you can identify how well a grammar covers your targeted transcript set.
