Yes it is a side effect of the assist app feature. It is because of a bug in Android 11 and lower. Basically any assist app is assumed to be a voice input as well by Android 11 and lower #190
No idea why it is listed twice though and why you can't select them
It is normal that it appears twice and only one can be selected. Other assist apps also do this. It is because the app offers a voice input service and an assist app service. (The voice input service of this app does nothing, but it necessary that it exists because of that bug #190)
It seems that the second entry can be renamed. Google's own assist app is listed twice as well, but with different names Google Assistant and Google Voice Recognition. I should try to rename the second entry to something like "Do not select this"
I wonder if this app could do it the way Dicio is doing it at the moment. What they are doing "wrong" could be the right way for this app 😂
Lol, lmao. That's the friendliest burn I've read in a while. "Your bug is my feature." XD Haha! That makes more sense then. I thought it was some weird duplication thing going on, but if you can make one "disappear" or simply rename it to let users know what it does/doesn't do, or something making it clearer, that would be a good fix, I think.
I've taken a look on how they do it.
With the current method of my app, when you start the assistant, Android immediately takes a screenshot and then delivers it to my app. With Dicio's method, when you start the assistant, Android just starts the app. Then the app would have to take a screenshot itself, which is possible but would take longer.
Dicio's method does avoid the speech recognition bug on Android 11 and lower.
But I don't really want to implement something inferior for the already two year old Android 11.
I'll stick with the current method and add a "do not select this" label to the selectable entry.
Yeah, if it would make a noticeable difference in reaction time, then using a label would be best.
This is on Android 9 (stock) and I noticed that the assistant app Dicio wasn't properly coming up as a voice input option for a translation app and, well, this was occupying that spot: Dicio currently isn't even listed as an option, which is not this app's problem, but the fact that this is listed twice is kinda weird: Is this a side effect of it using the Assist App features listed in the othet issues? (And, for the record, I cannot select either of the other two options) I don't think this is anything, major, but it seemed worth binging to your attention.
