Hi! I'm trying to change the language input on the Speech recognizer Component so that when people download my app it automatically recognizes the speech in English, no matter the voice input settings on the phone.


I'm using App Inventor 2, on google chrome.

Thanks!

In the properties window, set the language to "eng" without the quotes and set the country to USA

Hi! Thanks for answering! That works for Text to speech, but not for Speech recognizer...
On the properties bar of that component I receive no options:

Any help please?? :D

It looks to me like this is a function of the phone, but it's not settable in AI for the Recognizer, just, as you noted, for the Text-To-Speech.

Oh ok Enis,
Thank you very much!
If you find anything that can be done about it, anyhow, could you please let me know? Thanks!

Will do, promise Santiago... If I get any more info, I'll send yo an email or post up here on the forum, which is, of course, preferred so everyone benefits from the solutions...

Cheers,

Enis

It occurred to me that you MIGHT possibly be able to do this by using the ActivityStarter, but I have no idea what activity you'd have to start... It would definitely be a phone function.

Good Idea, the thing is I really don´t know how it works, I'll do a little research and get back,

What if the activity starter started the settings bar or changed the voice input on the phone directly? There are guides on activating other apps or doing web searches but there's no reference to changing settings with activity starter nor any other components...
