Android Question The "silence time" allowed in Voice Recognition

[MegatenFreak]

Hi.
I was wondering if it is possible to make the phone's voice recognition allow greater silence intervals. You know, the VR returns if you're quiet for a couple of seconds. Can that interval be increased in any way?
Thanks in advance.

I don't believe that is adjustable.

Some users have tried to restart the SR mode when silence is detected to simulate the SR staying on, but it had mixed results.

I know there is a way through Android Intents itself, through some class called RecognizerIntent, which contains something like this:

public static final String EXTRA_SPEECH_INPUT_POSSIBLY_COMPLETE_SILENCE_LENGTH_MILLIS

And I know you can pass your own Intent to B4J's VoiceRecognition's "Listen" function, but I don't understand intents, and even if I did, I have no idea how to implement this static variable into it.
Any ideas?

Dim in As Intent
in.Initialize("android.speech.action.RECOGNIZE_SPEECH", "")
in.PutExtra("android.speech.extras.SPEECH_INPUT_POSSIBLY_COMPLETE_SILENCE_LENGTH_MILLIS", 1000)

Pass it to Listen2.

Thanks a lot Erel

I tried the solution but it doesn't work. As soon as Voice Recognition is activated, I get the message "Can't reach Google at the moment."

I simply use Google's API...

Could you elaborate a little? Can you do it in B4J?
