C# "Amazon Alexa" Program Wont Respond To its Name

[Daquaney]

So I found this program for C# online and started heavily modifying the commands and functions. Side note I only started coding C# because of this program so I am fairly new. I originally had it setup so that you click a mic button and the speech recognition engine started recognizing, but now I want to be able to say a simple voice command, in this case, I would say "Athena" and the engine would start recognising my command, but it's not working at all and I have no idea why.
 

private void loadGrammarAndCommands()
        {

            try
            {
                Choices texts = new Choices();
                texts.Add("athena");
                string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\commands.txt");
                foreach (string line in lines)
                {
                    if (line.StartsWith("--") || line == String.Empty) continue;
                    var parts = line.Split(new char[] { '|' });
                    words.Add(new Word() { Text = parts[0], AttachedText = parts[1], IsShellCommand = (parts[2] == "true") });
                    texts.Add(parts[0]);
                }
                Grammar wordsList = new Grammar(new GrammarBuilder(texts));
                speechRecognitionEngine.LoadGrammar(wordsList);

                DictationGrammar dict = new DictationGrammar();
                speechRecognitionEngine.LoadGrammar(dict);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
        }

        private string getKnownTextOrExecute(string command)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            if (!command.StartsWith("athena "))
                return "";
            else
                speechSynthesizer.SpeakAsync("Yes?");
            command = command.Replace("athena ", "");

            
                
                try
                {
                    var cmd = words.Where(c => c.Text == command).First();
                    if (cmd.IsShellCommand)
                    {

At this point, I have it so that if it recognizes me saying "Athena" it starts accepting commands, at the moment it says yes but in the future I want it to make a sound (Already know how to) I have the word "Athena" pre built into its vocabulary.

Has the voice recognition worked with any other words? 

 

Maybe it cannot understand your accent.
