SRIdle
You can use the SRIdle function to grant processing time to the Speech Recognition Manager if your application does not call WaitNextEvent frequently.
pascal OSErr SRIdle (void);
DESCRIPTION
The SRIdle function grants processing time to the Speech Recognition Manager, thereby allowing it to process incoming sound and send recognition results.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Most applications do not need to call the SRIdle function. You need to call it only if your application does a significant amount of processing without periodically calling WaitNextEvent. If you do use the SRIdle function, you should call it often enough that the Speech Recognition Manager can perform its work.
Note, however, that if you call SRIdle and not WaitNextEvent, you give time to the recognizer but not to the feedback window. You must call WaitNextEvent periodically to have the feedback animations work correctly if your recognizer is using the standard feedback window.
