Dear Machine Learning for Kids Support Team,

I am an elementary school teacher currently using your platform to introduce AI to my students. While working with the Sound Recognition feature, I successfully trained the model and tested it directly on the platform without any problems.

However, when I exported the model to Scratch and used the provided blocks as instructed, I noticed that the microphone icon does not appear and the program does not seem to receive any audio input. As a result, the sound detection does not function as expected in Scratch.

Could you please help clarify:

  1. What might be causing the microphone not to activate in Scratch?

  2. Are there any additional permissions or settings needed for this feature to work?

  3. Is this a known issue with certain browsers or operating systems?

I would greatly appreciate any advice or troubleshooting steps you can provide.

Thank you very much for your support.

Best regards,
Nhat Thong

Sorry about this!

I've made some changes that I hope will fix the problem for you - would you mind trying again, please? 

Kind regards

Hi,

I have a question regarding the sound recognition feature. I'm wondering whether it is capable of accurately recognizing spoken words.

I tested two different cases:

  1. In the first case, I trained the model with sounds like clapping, desk tapping, and the spoken letter "A". The system recognized them very well.

  2. In the second case, I trained it with spoken letters "A", "B", and "E". However, the recognition was not accurate — it often confused the letters.

Could you please help me understand the reason and suggest a way to improve the recognition of spoken words?

Best regards,
Nhat Thong
