// Module Overview: Starboard speech recognizer module
//
// Defines a streaming speech recognizer API. It provides access to the platform
// speech recognition service.
//
// Note that there can be only one speech recognizer. Attempting to create a
// second speech recognizer without destroying the first one will result in
// undefined behavior.
//
// |SbSpeechRecognizerCreate|, |SbSpeechRecognizerStart|,
// |SbSpeechRecognizerStop|, |SbSpeechRecognizerCancel| and
// |SbSpeechRecognizerDestroy| should be called from a single thread. Callbacks
// defined in |SbSpeechRecognizerHandler| will happen on another thread, so
// calls back into the SbSpeechRecognizer from the callback thread are
// disallowed.
