[APP-82] Speech Recognition Error: Speech Input Was Aborted In Some Manner. #56

Closed HobbySquig closed 1 year ago

HobbySquig commented 1 year ago

I'm getting a persistent error: whilst speaking after a few seconds this pops up and the input stops completely until I double click the microphone button (it then does it again a few seconds later). Browser: Google Chrome Have tried clearing browser cache, running in incognito window, restarting audio engine, using alternative audio inputs (both through my virtual audio engine and not)

Thanks for reporting this issue. I will attempt to reproduce the problem, and may reply here asking you to test or provide additional information. Adding info from discord here for more info:

OS: Windows 11 (new hardware, not going to be an issue) Browser: Google Chrome (version unknown) - bug persists in incognito session Audio input device: Local mic Other software: voice meeter

Unfortunately, I do not have access to a Windows computer. However, in testing on Linux with Pulsemeeter (a voicemeeter alternative), it appears to have a conflict with the browser's microphone access and ability to send data to the speech recognition service.

Currently, I think the best solution would be to access zipcaptions on a separate device and streaming the results to the machine running voicemeeter.

We may be able to work around this issue in future, but for now, as this is a conflict between the browser API and the local machine's hardware, I am unable to provide a solution.
