Send speech recognition args.Result as parameter i

Question

I'm trying to figure out, if it is possible send using Windows.Media.SpeechRecognition; args.Result.Text as parameter from UWP to Console application.

For example by following scenario I'm sending TextToSpeech(args.Result.Text); with args.Result.Text; value, where using Windows.Media.SpeechSynthesis; text-to-speech pronounces the recognition result each time when args.Result.Text; appears. textBlock2.Text = args.Result.Text; also displays result:

 private async void ContinuousRecognitionSession_ResultGenerated(
            SpeechContinuousRecognitionSession sender, SpeechContinuousRecognitionResultGeneratedEventArgs args)
        {
            await dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
            {               
                textBlock1.Text = args.Result.Text;    

                TextToSpeech(args.Result.Text);               
            });
        }

but if I'm trying to send args.Result.Text; as parameter to console application, included with UWP in Desktop-Bridge package:

    private async void ContinuousRecognitionSession_ResultGenerated(
        SpeechContinuousRecognitionSession sender, SpeechContinuousRecognitionResultGeneratedEventArgs args)
    {
        await dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
        {                            
          textBlock1.Text = args.Result.Text; 

          SendTTSResult(args.Result.Text);
        });
    }

to the requested function:

 private async void SendTTSResult(string res)
    {
        await Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
        {
            if (ApiInformation.IsApiContractPresent("Windows.ApplicationModel.FullTrustAppContract", 1, 0))
            {
                ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["parameters"] = res;
                await FullTrustProcessLauncher.LaunchFullTrustProcessForCurrentAppAsync("Parameters");
            }
        });
    }

Behavior of failure looks to me not really clear:

With first recognition result, it sends parameter to console application, which successfully loads, gets and displays this parameter. But with second request the problem backs away from this processing level, even if parameters sending function is unambiguously the cause of a failure SendTTSResult(args.Result.Text); function does not receives args.Result.Text but this happens already before function will comes in action, because preceding output display textBlock1.Text = args.Result.Text; also does not receives event anymore.

With async() => behavior is a bit different, it successfully receives event and sends value as parameter to console, in this case it happens 2-3 times from beginning of execution and voice requesting, then event disappears, when it is not even passed through SendTTSResult(string res), to imagine that the something in SendTTSResult(string res) does not allows pass string from recognition, but just stops, even if I put it in the end of TextToSpeech(string text) function, text to speech also stops receive event:

private async void SendTTSResult(string res)
        {
            await Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, async() =>
            {
                if (ApiInformation.IsApiContractPresent("Windows.ApplicationModel.FullTrustAppContract", 1, 0))
                {
                    ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["parameters"] = res;
                    await FullTrustProcessLauncher.LaunchFullTrustProcessForCurrentAppAsync("Parameters");
                }
            });
        }

It looks like sending of args.Result.Text value as parameter with SendTTSResult(string res) function works fine, sends string successfully, but at the same time presence of this function in ContinuousRecognitionSession_ResultGenerated somehow affects receiving of event inside of it. At the same time behavior of ContSpeechRecognizer_HypothesisGenerated looks completely different, args.Hypothesis.Text event appears each time and result successfully passes as parameter with same SendTTSResult(string res).

What can prevent an event from being executed when the function of sending a parameter is involved in its process, and how to fix it if possible?

EDIT 1: **************************************************************************************************

Behind parameter function, Console Connector.exe only shows parameter without running of any app or anything else:

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string result = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
            int index = result.LastIndexOf("\\");
            string rootPath = $"{result.Substring(0, index)}\\..\\";
            if (args.Length > 2)
            {
                switch (args[2])
                {
                    case "/parameters":
                        string parameters = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["parameters"] as string;
                        Console.WriteLine("Parameter: " + parameters);
                        Console.ReadLine();
                        break;
                }
            }
        }

EDIT 2: **************************************************************************************************

I've tried SendTTSResult(SpeechRecogVal); with change of variable value:

 private async void ContinuousRecognitionSession_ResultGenerated(
        SpeechContinuousRecognitionSession sender, SpeechContinuousRecognitionResultGeneratedEventArgs args)
    {
        await dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
        {               
            SpeechRecogVal = args.Result.Text;
        });
    }

but it is same behavior tbRec.Text = SpeechRecogVal; shows output successfully until I add SendTTSResult(SpeechRecogVal);,

   private string _srVal;

    public string SpeechRecogVal
    {
        get
        {
            return _srVal;
        }

        set
        {
            _srVal = value;
            ValueChanged();
        }
    }

    void ValueChanged()
    {
        tbRec.Text = SpeechRecogVal;
        // SendTTSResult(SpeechRecogVal);
    }

So, seems like problem is something between await Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, async () => and if (ApiInformation.IsApiContractPresent("Windows.ApplicationModel.FullTrustAppContract", 1, 0)) and await dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () => of private async voidContinuousRecognitionSession_ResultGenerated(SpeechContinuousRecognitionSession sender, SpeechContinuousRecognitionResultGeneratedEventArgs args)

Also, I've tried:

private async void ContinuousRecognitionSession_ResultGenerated(
    SpeechContinuousRecognitionSession sender, SpeechContinuousRecognitionResultGeneratedEventArgs args)
{
       await  SendTTSResult(args.Result.Text);        
}

as Task:

async Task SendTTSResult(string res)
    {
        await Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, async () =>
        {
            if (ApiInformation.IsApiContractPresent("Windows.ApplicationModel.FullTrustAppContract", 1, 0))
            {
                ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["parameters"] = res;
                await FullTrustProcessLauncher.LaunchFullTrustProcessForCurrentAppAsync("Parameters");
            }
        });
    }

And it is also successful only with first request event instance response, then goes quite. So seems like ContinuousRecognitionSession_ResultGenerated is someway different from other options in Windows.Media.SpeechRecognition Namespace and not compatible with something in async Task SendTTSResult(string res) or rather with this code lines content:

 ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["parameters"] = args.Result.Text;
 await FullTrustProcessLauncher.LaunchFullTrustProcessForCurrentAppAsync("Parameters");

System.NullReferenceException occurs appservice disconnect scenario, Could you check the apservice's connection before send message?

For explain this, I create sample project that refer Stefanwick blog. And I also reproduce your issue when I does not invoke InitializeAppServiceConnection method in WPF client. If you want to send text to wpf, you could invoke Connection.SendMessageAsync method just like below SendMesssage click envent .
