So I have a windows service with speech recognition implemented using the system.speech recognition engine. My speech recognition code runs fine when I start the service but no events for speech recognized fires. The strange thing is, if I run the exact same code, but in a console or WPF app instead, the event firing for speech recognition works just fine.
I have already attached a debugger to my service process to check what was going on behind the scenes. It seems as though the speech recognition engine properly loads the grammars, sets its mode to listen continuously, and properly sets up the speech recognized event. No exceptions are thrown so I am not too sure what is wrong here. Any ideas?
