Access output text from 3rd party apps

[hugbear]

I've been able to successfully invoke FUTO V.I. from MacroDroid (automation app) by sending the intent provided in the Readme (android.speech.action.RECOGNIZE_SPEECH implicit intent). The voice recognition floating window starts in listening mode, processes the speech, accurately recognizes the speech and then it immediately closes.

Is there a way the recognized text could be provided to / accessed by the invoking app to be further processed?

For what it's worth, this is the Macrodroid macro and these are the 'Send Intent' parameters I used (basically, nothing but the "Action" field has been set).

Referring to the Android documentation, you're supposed to start the activity using startActivityForResult, and in results if you get the EXTRA_RESULTS as ArrayList, the first element will contain the output text. Some other voice recognizers may return multiple results in the array list sorted by confidence, but FUTO Voice Input only returns one.

Thank you. This does answer my question (although it seems MacroDroid can't do startActivityForResult - at least for now).

L.E. Looks I've been approaching this problem totally wrong. It turns out MacroDroid has a „Voice Input” action, which simply works flawlessly without the Send Intent hassle. Sorry for the trouble...
