# .NET MAUI SpeechToTextButton Configuration

The purpose of this help article is to show you the main configuration options of the control.

## Getting Full Text from Speech Recognition

The SpeechToTextButton allows you to retrieve the full text recognized by the speech recognition service.
This is done through the `FullText` property, which provides the complete transcription of the spoken input from the beginning of the current listening session.

To get the full text, you can subscribe to the `SpeechRecognized` event, which is triggered when the speech recognition is successful.

## Continuous Recognition

The SpeechToTextButton supports continuous speech recognition, allowing it to listen for speech input without stopping after each recognition.

You can disable the continuous recognition by setting the `IsContinuousRecognition` property to `false`. The default value is `true`, meaning that the button will listen for speech input continuously, until it is explicitly stopped or the user taps the button again.

```XAML
<telerik:RadSpeechToTextButton x:Name="speechContinuousButton"
							   IsContinuousRecognition="False" />
```

## Language

The SpeechToTextButton allows you to set the language for speech recognition. This is important for accurate transcription of spoken words into text.

You can set the language using the `LanguageTag` property, which accepts a string representing the language code (e.g., "en-US" for English, "fr-FR" for French).

```XAML
<Editor x:Name="languageEditor"
		AutoSize="TextChanges"
		Grid.Row="1"  />
<telerik:RadSpeechToTextButton x:Name="speechToTextButton"
							   LanguageTag="es-ES"
							   SpeechRecognized="OnLanguageSpeechRecognized"
							   Grid.Column="1"
							   Grid.Row="1"
							   VerticalOptions="Start" />
```

### Language Support

The SpeechToTextButton supports a variety of languages for speech recognition. The available languages depend on the underlying platform and the speech recognition service used.
