I'm having an issue with starting Bing to listen right after ARC starts. I cant start it listening by clicking the Start Recording button or starting it from an EZ Script with the start listening command.
The only way I can get the control to start recording is to go into it's settings page and click on the Save button. Then when I exit back to the front of the control everything is working right. The control will continue to work correctly until I restart ARC. Then I need to do the above all over again.
Any ideas what may be going on here? I turned my Windows Defender off but nothing changed. I have no other antivirus running.
I'v attached a Youtube vid of what is happening.
Thanks!
Ah, Ok.
When I first start ARC, the Start Recording button on the plugin control is unresponsive. I then click on the Gear Icon and after the settings page opens I click on Save. After this action has been done the control works great. However the next time I start ARC after it's been shut down for the day, I have to again click on the Gear Icon, then after the settings page opens, I again have to click on Save to get it to record again. This continuously happens each time I start a new session by opening ARC for the first time.
I have found this to be the case on the plugins that were changed to store the API keys outside of the project. These include API.AI, Microsoft Cognitive Vision, Microsoft Cognitive Emotion and the Bing Speech Recognition plugins.
As a workaround until DJ fixes this, you could use the "Remote Mouse" plugin https://synthiam.com/redirect/legacy?table=plugin&id=37 to automate the actions you are taking manually.

Thanks for your help Dave. I'm starting to see that also. It's just another step to get the VR to start working by manually clicking a couple buttons. However if you have an onboard computer that's hard to get at this could be a real pain. Until DJ finds a way around this I'm going to have to use the mouse plugin. With that this process of clicking Save to get Bing to start recording will be automated in INT script.
Thanks again.
Thanks Alan. Great idea.
@Dave & David, I too have seen this, I'm late to this so I may have missed something. Question, do you have to login to Microsoft's API site for this API to work? I've noticed if am not logged into that site I get a transport and login failed in the bing speech window of ezb. After I login it works fine. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Mike,
You shouldn't have to login to Microsofts API site for these to work. The API key is kind your login.
DJ has published updates to these plugins. I won't have time to check them out until tonight or tomorrow. I assume that these updates were to address this issue. If nobody else checks them out before I can, I will post an update letting people know if the issue is resolved.
I've been able too use the Bing plugin without being logged into Microsoft's API site. Only having the start recording issue I've mentioned here.
