We're thrilled to announce an update for Synthiam ARC, including a few community-requested features, performance enhancements, and crucial fixes. Here's a closer look at what's new and improved:

New Features and Enhancements

• Flexible Bing Speech Recognition: Now, you can enter Bing Speech Recognition languages as free text or choose from a dropdown menu. This means you're no longer limited to the predefined language options. Simply visit the Bing Speech Recognition website, obtain any speech language code, and add it directly. Microsoft frequently adds new languages, so you can always stay up-to-date without waiting for an ARC update.

• New Commands in Python and JavaScript: We've added the popular sleepRandom() command from EZ-Script to both Python and JavaScript. This highly requested feature allows for more versatile and dynamic scripting in your projects.

• Performance Improvements: Several performance improvements have been implemented that we identified during parallel ARCx development that we rolled into ARC.

Bug Fixes

• Blockly Comment Character Fix: We fixed an issue where some comments in Blockly were using the wrong character. Now, your comments will be properly formatted, making your code clearer and easier to manage.
