I had the EXACT same problem about a month ago! I created a speech
recognizing program that confirmed via repeating the command ala
text-to-speech, only to discover that the recognizer recognized this
text-to-speech, and it went into an infinite loop of the command being
spoken and acted on!
I fixed this by just turning off speech recognition during text-to-speech
talking. This is easy to do via the SpeakStarted and SpeakCompleted events.
There is another way though, if your application can work within this
limitation. Just make sure nothing the text-to-speech says is not something
that can be recognized. That is, nothing spoken via TTS is something within
the grammars of the speech recognizer.

>I am writing my own recogniser and synthesis software in VB .net.
However, every time I get the syntheser to speek something the mic
picks it up and thinks it is a command! It is quite bizzar - it sits
there talking to itself pure jibberish! I use Microsoft Speech the
latest SDK. I tried turing off teh recogniser of course but it doesn't
seem to work. If I turn down the volume of the speakers it's ok of
course but I want to hear the speech. Any ideas?
