Using System.Speech.Recognition opens Windows Speech Recognition

Question

I tried implementing some simple speech recognition WinForms program in C# like the one described here in Michael Levy answer:

good Speech recognition API

The problem i have is that any time i run the program Windows Speech Recognition opens and is also doing stuff based on what i am saying. Also when the program starts i have to say "start listening" for speech recognition to work.

My question is: How can i use speech recognition without having Windows Speech Recognition also act on what i am saying? I don't need Windows Speech Recognition UI to open at all and i need to be able to use recognition without having to say "start listening" before.

Thanks for your answers

Are you sure you are using an inproc recognizer for your application only. You do this by instantiating a SpeechRecognitionEngine() in your application. See SpeechRecognitionEngine Class . I suspect you are instantiating a shared recognizer - SpeechRecognizer Class
