Rule #1: The Documentation Must Not Suck

So that’s how you create, initialize, and     a SpeechRecognizer…

Besides the fact that this example is apparently showing something that’s invisible, it’s not even really showing the creation and initialization, either.  Calling your local functions “SetupEventHandlers()” and “LoadInitialGrammars()” isn’t exactly all that helpful to me.  I understand that I need to set up event handlers and load grammars.  THAT’S WHY I’M READING THE DOCUMENTATION:  I know I need to do something, but I don’t know how.  You’ve pretty much shown me how to call the constructor on your class.  I managed to get that bit on my own, remarkably enough.
