Voice search

[Jean-Pierre ジャン=ピエール]

Hello Martin,

I've been using Aedict3 for years now, and I'm still pleased of it.

However, I think since the last time I reinstalled the application, the integrated voice search seems to have changed. Maybe I forgot something, but I cannot find the solution in helps and web.

I think (maybe I dreamed ??) that when using the voice search, a list of possible matching words was appearing and that I was just to select the right one (in case of many homophons).

Could you clarify this point to me please ?

Thank you very much for your work !

With best regards,

Jean-Pierre.

Hi Jean,

thank you for your e-mail, I'm happy to know that Aedict is serving
you well :)

Aedict never performed the speech-to-text itself. Aedict always relied
on the Android built-in speech recognition capabilities (or any
additional software that was capable of handling the
"android.speech.action.RECOGNIZE_SPEECH" intent), to perform
voice-to-text conversion. The speech recognition software then returns
one or more strings (= readings); 2 or more in case of homophones.

Could it be that an Android upgrade changed this behavior, or maybe you
have installed another software which handles the
"android.speech.action.RECOGNIZE_SPEECH" intent?

I'm not using this functionality much myself so I haven't noticed the
change, but now I tried a couple of homophones and Android always seems
to return just one result (maybe the most common one). Looks like Google
upgraded or changed something...

Best regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your clear answer.

So maybe as you said, there was a change on my phone or an evolution in the way of working of the Google-Android Speech-to-Text feature.

I will go on searching if possible to find what was the cause of this new behaviour, and if found, will keep informed here.

 Best regards,

Jean-Pierre.
