Ability to stop/start audio recognition on websocket.

[zkanda]

Hello IBM Team,

Based on the docs, it seems to be intended that we can easily start/stop an audio recognition. However, the current implementation doesn't return the websocket conn or exposes the start and stop function

Maybe I just misunderstood but if there's a way to do it currently, I'd be glad to know.

Cheers

Hi @zkanda,

The current implementation unfortunately doesn't expose those methods

Do you have a design in mind? You could start with a PR or comment here

Hello @ehdsouza there are many ways to get it done, I'm not sure if there's an ibm way of doing things but here are some of my thoughts.

• We can return the conn so we can manipulate those ourselves, but that can get quite verbose. We would need to find a way to synchronize it with other goroutines, e.g. we need to be able to say stop sending audio before sending the stop command. hmmm I think this might get ugly on the client side.
• Maybe a better is to return RecognizeListener? Then attach and expose those methods of start/stop? That way, the library can handle the complexity of synchronizing those goroutines.

If you have some other ideas, I would be glad to know. I can try doing the implementation.

Approach 2 sounds a better way to get started.

Also feel free to write in an example in the folder here: https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/go-sdk/tree/master/examples. In some of our SDKs, we give an example where the input is from a microphone
