Does the SDK v1.7.1 support active listening? #739

Closed BobXLiu closed 6 years ago

BobXLiu commented 6 years ago

In the AVS document's attention system, I found the active listening state, but could not find the active listening state in the SDK v1.7.1. Does the SDK v1.7.1 support active listening state? If not supported. Will it support in the future? What time?

Hi @BobXLiu , the "Active Listening" state is currently not supported in SDK v1.7.1, as you have you found out. We are going to track this request internally.

@BobXLiu, after checking up further on your request, 'Active Listening' can only be supported if your Audio Front End system has 'Voice Activity Detection' (VAD) capability. This will require your hardware or wake word engine to distinguish user utterance or background noise/silence. If VAD is supported on your device, you can add the detection code on your end and add the 'Active Listening' state. Please check related issue: Can't to found "Active Listening" status in SDKv1.3
