Android Speech Recognition Conflicting With Text To Speech

Solution 1:

What you can do is having a short pause between paragraphs and listen to user commands during this pause. To implement it you need to use UtteranceProgressListener. Speak a paragraph and then in onDone turn on the speech recognizer. Set a countdown timer and onFinish turn off the speech recognizer and read the next paragraph.
