I was thrilled to see the new feature of "speech Recognition pausing when speaking" in a recent release, because I have quite a loud (amplified) voice on my robot and a lot of Mp3 sound triggers (over 150 in fact!) and it routinely "interupts itself" when speaking as something it is saying triggers a new Mp3 track to play - in fact it can get itself into infinite loops this way However, I am not seeing any improvement at all and was wondering whether a) this perhaps isn't actually working yet or b) the fact i am using a sparkfun MP3 trigger to hold/play the MP3 clips means that this functionality improvement doesn't work. I know the problem is in the "listening while speaking" area because if I turn the speaker right down low the problem goes away - I then just can't hear the robot any more though, which kinda defeats the point!
Any insight or experiences of others gratefully accepted
Problem is, you won't know how long the audio is playing for on an external device.
All controls can be modified using the ControlCommand()
2) Currently, you can pause speech recognition, triggering mp3, waiting X seconds, and unpausing speech recogntion again. You'd have to do that in EZ-Script right now. ControlCommand() allows you to PAUSE and UNPAUSE controls.
I've found some success with directional microphones and placing it as far away from the robot's speakers as possible. I've thought about building a sound box with only opening pointing away from the sound source. If this can be fixed or worked around through software that would be great. For me this has been the biggest (and only) disappointment with this otherwise outstanding platform.
I understand that it's a Windows "bug" and it really sucks. You would think MS would have done something about it. I wonder if Windows 8 will be any better and how this board and ARC will work with it.
Thanks and I CAN NOT wait ,

Because if you are using the speech synthesis, then it has been addressed. Please read the thread to see that it has been addressed for speech synthesis.
I hope you can find the time and energy to address this somehow. It sounds like you and others that are smarter then me on this stff have some ideas on how to do it. Cant wait to see what you come up with.
Thanks, Dave Schulpius
