URGENT Azurer SpeechRecognizer not working

Hey, I need help with my SpeechToText application for my graduation project coming up next week. I had it running perfectly for month and somehow it broke yesterday. I just don´t know where the problem is.

first it just didn´t work on a new computer but now it isn´t running on my laptop as well. no error messages appear. Either something is wrong in the patch or the connection to Microsoft Azure isn´t alright. I tried everything (microphone, internet connection, new API keys, new Azure subscription, new vvvv version).

If anyone does have any experience with it, I would highly appreciate your help 🙏

Hey,

I tried it and in my case there is this error in the DebugWindow:

Project Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech is not compatible with net8.0-windows7.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v8.0)
. Project Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech supports: monoandroid (MonoAndroid,Version=v0.0)

In your case to?

Regards Jakob

Yes, but that was there from the beginning and it did run for several month without a problem.
See this post: SpeechToText ErrorMesssages - vvvv gamma / question - Forum

Does anyone have a working API key and can test if it is working?
Or does anyone have an idea how to get it running on windows 11?

digging this up again…

i hoped the issue would go away at some point when the transition to net8.0 is finished. this being the case now (i guess), i tried it again with the latest of that microsoft.cognitiveservices.speech nuget (1.42.0). i also tried several older versions (down to 1.28.0)

this error is happening with all versions i tested (7.0-0032 & 7.0-0046):

looking at the nuget-folder, its lib/ folder looks good, i’d say:

a runtimes folder beside it also looks ok:

in visual studio, everything seems to play nicely with net8.0:

what could be the issue here? is there a workaround, like renaming a folder in lib/ or so? or forward everything in vs and compile it into a dll?

i have used azure speech recognition just yesterday on a new machine. here is my patch. it just asked to install the missing nuget and then worked fine. might give it a try

AzureSpeech.vl (26.1 KB)

gamm 6.7 stable btw. and thats the nuget:

what happens when you install the latest nuget? 1.42.0

i just tested, 1.3.0 is also working here in 7.0-0046. but it’s super old and lacks a lot of functionality

oh i see. yes it falls apart:(

is that somehow the reason?

Looks like we didn’t setup the nuget graph correctly which lead to this error. Fix in upcoming previews.

Forgot to mention: was only looking at the compile error which @sebl reported, I did not look at the original issue/question asked here.

perfect, thanks

Hello All,
I use the same Speech Recognition Node for my masters project wich is due in two weeks.
I have a very weird problem and i couldnt even find a hint why it occurs because there is no error code, nor could i see a pattern on when it occurs.
My problem is that the speech recognition just stops at random an than i have to resart the Patch to continue. I use vvvv gamma 6.7.
My Professor tried to help but couldn’t find a reason and therefor i dont have a solution yet. He built a simpler version, without my arduino and other additional stuff, to test it himself (i attached that one) i keept my key in there for easy acces, so you can help me more easy . i will change it later again .

Hey,
I used it last year for my master’s project. I just tested your patch, and it worked fine for me. Of course, I can’t say what might happen after using it over a longer period—but I do remember running into some issues myself back then.

I found that the microphone had to be turned on before launching the patch. Otherwise, it caused problems where my voice wasn’t detected / the microphone didn’t connect properly.

What kind of microphone are you using for speech detection? I used a small wireless lavalier mic.

I just tested it again this exact way: if the microphone isn’t turned on before I open vvvv, the speech recognition doesn’t work. But if it’s already on when I start vvvv, everything works fine.

Maybe that helps a bit—even though it doesn’t explain why it stops working randomly after a while. But maybe that’s also related to the mic somehow…

Oh, and: if it works at first and I then turn off the microphone for a while, it doesn’t work anymore when I turn it back on.
