Can I train windows speech recognition in C#?

Question

See more:

I have written a C# speech recognizer based on the Microsoft Doc here. Initialize and Manage a Speech Recognition Engine (Microsoft.Speech) | Microsoft Docs[^]

But now I am trying to improve its recognition by "training" WSR somehow to better recognize my voice, like Dragon Naturally Speaking does, or like the built-in Windows voice recognition training dialog does.

But I can't find any information anywhere on how to get the user to train my own set of words. Is this possible? It must be, I think, since the Windows OS does it. But there might not be a public API for doing it.

Can anyone shed some light on this, or give me a link to some information or code examples? Thank you

What I have tried:

I have built a working recognition app, spent hours with the Microsoft doc, and searched the HotExamples website for examples.

A wild guess, but maybe it helps: Speech recognition, speech to text, text to speech, and speech synthesis in C#[^]

Thank you for your help. I read the article (again), and his code looks generally like mine. The most interesting thing for me was he said it was almost impossible to train words from code.

This question is asked frequently in comments: how to train your speech recognition engine? From code, it is impossible, unfortunately.

I was hoping to train specific phrases for my grammar, but he reinforced the idea that users can train the entire Windows Speech Recognition system using the default Windows-supplied training mechanism. I will try that instead; maybe it will work well enough for my purposes.
