- <dd>Fired when the recognizer needs to delete one of the previously returned interim results in a continuous recognition.
- A simplified example of this might be the recognizer gives an interim result for "hot" as the zeroth index of the continuous result and then gives an interim result of "dog" as the first index.
- Later the recognize wants to give a final result that is just one word "hotdog".
- In order to do that it needs to change the zeroth index to "hotdog" and delete the first index.
- When the first element is deleted the response is the raising of a resultdeleted event.
- The resultIndex of this event will be the element that was deleted and the resultHistory will have the updated value.</dd>
