I think you're on the wrong forum. You're looking for the closely related project text to speech, this is the speech to text project. Pretty confusing naming, sorry about that. Basically we listen when you talk, they talk when you tell them what to say. Good luck getting an answer!

I understand, the issue comes when using both libraries together.

flutterTts.speak('this sentence');

Works as intended, BUT this does not work

await speechToText.listen(); await speechToText.cancel(); // OR speechToText.stop(); flutterTts.speak('this sentence');

I think you need to wait for the status callback from STT to report that it has stopped listening before trying to use the sound system again. Let me know if that helps.
