Resolved by Wolfie!
I'd like to totally shut off speech recognition to the point where I can not enable it again with speech recognition.
By default it has a command option to enable or disable speech - but it can be re-enable via speech by speaking the command to enable. I would call this more of "soft" disable. When I am listening to music or speaking on a conference call sick the speech recognition will hear something that sounds like the enable speech command and the speech recognition will activate and thus my robot will begin speaking or singing or do other inappropriate things.
Granted I could close the app, but I'd prefer a "hard" disable for the speech recognition if that is possible? Perhaps I could make a script to mute the mic? Has anyone done that before?
Cant you just remove the enable phrase completely then it should not start up on its own That's what I did to mine and when I pause it it stays paused till I unpause it
I have the same problem .... So I leave "Enable speech" and Disable speech" blank (i.e. no speech commands) In the speech config utility...... This seems to kill the Robot enable speech, Robot disable speech commands. Meaning I can no longer enable or disable speech via a voice command...
I leave my ARC on for weeks at a time and when the speech is paused it NEVER responds at all onless I click to un pause it
Works Great
So my understanding is that you want to have the voice command to enable the speech recognition, but it may activate while your on a conference call.
You could remove the enable speech command and manually start the recognition again.
You also could set the enable command to something you would almost never say like "hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" (yes, its a word, but it cant be red underlined or speech wont get it) or a long phrase like "robot please turn on speech recognition now and get a treat".
As Young Frankenstein said: "Until, from the midst of this darkness, a sudden light broke in upon me -- a light so brilliant and wondrous, and yet so simple! Change the poles from plus to minus and from minus to plus!".
LOL in this case remove the enable speech command words
Thanks Wolfie and everyone. Great ideas all!
