Speech recognition : language selection?

MIT App Inventor Help
1

Hi,

I use the feature SpeechRecognizer but I find it not very good at guessing what language I’m speaking.

Is there a way to set up SpeechRecognizer for a particular language (recognition) or will it always try itself to recognize the language ?

I’m asking you guys because I find no options for that in the properties tab in the designer view of MITAI2.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Very good extension Taifun. I found only an annoying thing (I am just testing and it is not very important in my case): calling SupportedLanguages returns the error " Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.content.Intent.resolveTypeIfNeeded(android.content.ContentResolver)' on a null object reference
Note: You will not see another error reported for 5 seconds." Tested on Android 11.
