error: No speech detection for 60s

[ghettokon]

How can we avoid this error?

many many thanks!

error: the speech_to_text service returned an error. Error: No speech detected for 60s.

I found this file
/home/pi/tjbot/recipes/conversation/node_modules/watson-developer-cloud/speech-to-text/recognize_stream.js

and I changed the value of inactivity_timeout, and stay up longer.

Is this the right way to do it!?

Hi @ghettokon
Exactly right! Thats the right way to do it!

You will need to add this flag to your tjbot config when you instantiate it .. listen.

var tjConfig = {
    log: {
        level: 'verbose'
    },
listen: {
        microphoneDeviceId: "plughw:1,0", // plugged-in USB card 1, device 0; see arecord -l for a list of recording devices
        inactivityTimeout: -1, // -1 to never timeout or break the connection. Set this to a value in seconds e.g 120 to end connection after 120 seconds of silence
        language: 'en-US' // see TJBot.prototype.languages.listen
    }
};

Let me know if this helps!

It works like a magic, now I got an other message saying "Session closed. Reason: Payload exceeds the 104857600 bytes limit." actually I got this error very often when I started experiment with TJBOT in late Feb. Is this error related to microphone constantly listening and eventually exceed the upload limit?

@victordibia Would you have an idea why my TJBot isn't listening the right sentence??
