Need unlimited voice input

[ArtSera]

I am trying to code a java app for android phones and tablets that takes voice input and converts it to text. It is working but input breaks off at a random time less after than 20 seconds of speech. Is there some kind of settable attribute to make input unlimited?

Thanks,

Arthur

Not sure but I will make the app and put the code up later, see If I get the same results

I will put some screen shoots up.

I love all these questions.

So I have my fully working app and here's the screen shoot.

Yours is darn near Identical to mine. I am trying to run this on an Android 4a phone. It seems that if I pause my input for more than 1 or 2 seconds it will stop recognizing. I have tried this with or without explicit punctuation, like speaking "Period" or "Question mark". And truth be told, I generally pause momentarily after saying period, da da da. Still, the pauses are quite short and it appears for sure, that a 2 second pause does result in an immediate drop out.......

Help!!!!!

The default delay is too short
Not had a chance to find the code but what you need is a 3 second delay between the app storing the data and reading it back to you.

(cut this code from one of my apps)

onPause();
final Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
// this delayed the relativeLayout from turning visible by 400 (delay in millis)
handler.postDelayed(() -> relativeLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE), 400);
break;
so guessing it between the
startActivityForResult(intent, RESULT_SPEECH);
and
inputText.setText("");

}

In theory this would of made things run smother but there a bug, not likely to be fixed by google.
keep hitting the same comments on every webpage, like this one (voice recognition increase the silence time before ending)

Another idea that might work.
Use buttons to start/stop audio recorder, when you stop the recorder, the audio file is converted to text and displayed on the screen.

You clearly are a contractor creating intel gathering software for the authorities or something along them lines

I have been a contractor in the past, but this product I am trying to develop is not a paid effort. Also, this product is not an intel sponge at all. It is a personal recorder for individuals.
