threading help!! c# and SAPI 5.1

[AndyNY]

I am trying to write a dll in C# using SAPI 5.1 SDK. The DLL is supposed to
take in a prerecorded WAV file and provide both the recognized text and a wav
file created from Text to speech on the result. I have all the functionality
working other then one minor yet bothersome problem.

I can not figure out how to get a result back from the Speech Recognition
engine without utilizing the recogniton event on the recoContext. Which
fires on free will once the engine has run through the stream. Is there a
way to do a WaitForRecognit ion on the engine like you can do for the
Text-To-Speech like...

SpVoice speech = new SpVoice();
speech.WaitUnti lDone(System.Th reading.Timeout .Infinite);

Or is there a way to use an AutoEventReset or Mutex to signal the
completion. It seems that the recognition event always runs on the same
thread as the original recoContext so i can't tell that thread to wait or
sleep or the recognition will never hit. And if I try to put the Speech
recognition code in its own thread the recognition event gets lost.

Am I missing something or is there functionality in c# or SAPI to get around
this?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP!!
