SpeechRecognitionException: 3 - Audio recording error

[uzuki-P]

I got an error that the speech just decided to finish it self. The log error not even showing if I'm not adding Logger.setLogLevel(Logger.LogLevel.DEBUG);

I already granted the RECORD_AUDIO permission.

It's an error of the underlying Android SpeechRecognizer. So it's not a bug of the library itself.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/SpeechRecognizer.html#ERROR_AUDIO

On which Android version does this happen? It's a physical device or an emulator? Also, steps to reproduce?

[uzuki-P]

It's Android 6.0.1 on physical device. I just found the fix. It's look like the Google App also need the microphone permission granted.

Thanks for the fast response :smiley:

[gotev]

Actually, you don't have to request any permission, because it's all done through the Google App. Glad you've found the solution!

@uzuki-P How we enable same permission android STB, I am facing the same issue , please help me

[gotev]

That error depends on the Google App which is invoked by the library. Make sure you granted permissions to that before you use it.
