I’m using OpenEars in my app and occasionally it doesn’t detect speech, it seems to be particularly funny about the word NO. I have to shout quite loud next to the mic for it to detect.
Basically i am playing a video using AVFoundation then i start listening for a response. Then based on the response i play a new clip. COuld this be something to do with AVFoundation and AudioSessions
I’m running the latest distribution from the download link with iOS5
If you need some more information please let me know
Hope you can help
thank you
Lloyd
]]>Thanks so much for the quick response, it seems ok in the sample app, which suggests i’m doing something wrong, i’m creating my language model online as i’m trying to keep the app as small as possible – could this be anything to do with it. Also below is the reading g i get before it dean;t pick up my voice
Thanks again
Lloyd
Audio route has changed for the following reason:
There has been a change of category
The previous audio route was SpeakerAndMicrophone
This is not a case in which OpenEars performs a route change voluntarily. At the close of this function, the audio route is SpeakerAndMicrophone

Pocketsphinx has resumed recognition.
Are you playing the video before starting the recognition loop or during it?
]]>I’ll do my best to explain – basically i initialise OpenEars then suspend listening whilst i play the first video, when the video gets to the end i resume listening but i also play a silent video (Idle) on loop whilst i wait for the user to respond, once i get the response i load a new video. During the idle stage i use the following code to remove the audio from the video track – could this be affecting anything
NSArray *audioTracks = [self.idleAsset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio];
// Mute all the audio tracks
NSMutableArray *allAudioParams = [NSMutableArray array];
for (AVAssetTrack *track in audioTracks) {
AVMutableAudioMixInputParameters *audioInputParams =[AVMutableAudioMixInputParameters audioMixInputParameters];
[audioInputParams setVolume:0.0 atTime:kCMTimeZero];
[audioInputParams setTrackID:[track trackID]];
[allAudioParams addObject:audioInputParams];
}
AVMutableAudioMix *audioZeroMix = [AVMutableAudioMix audioMix];
[audioZeroMix setInputParameters:allAudioParams];
