The problem is I can not get speech to text: (The phone already pop-up to ask permission) The code is like this: ![屏幕截图 2023-07-30 010337](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/7/b7c8302b9d63c39e5b85200e34f81bd82a2901f7.png) what I haved copied was this : [Thunkable coding: speech to text and text to speech converter app tutorial - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuM1eqzJkqw) I did further research, but looks like all the speech regonizor have been removed [Speech recognizer in Thunkable - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efIvqMdgrgo) Any wordaround or sample code would be apprciated. thx! ---

You should be following the instructions in the documentation: [Speech - Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/speech) I recommend right-clicking on the “recognized speech” block and choosing Show Advanced Block. Then you will see this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/1/512ca2bcbab3c643d97e3cf11813201f15109d35.png) You can check for an error and assign the green error block to a label. If there is no error, then assign the green speech block to a label (or use different labels for each green block). ---

thanks ， I printed the error message: “Speech to text is not supported in this device. ” My devices were OPPO and HUAWEI phones, based on Android. Any workaround? Need to call API ? ---

Hi tatiang: ``` Thanks for replying ,let me re-illustrate my questions: #1: What can I do to solve "Speech to text is not supported in this device. " this problem. #2: if it is hard to use the default Speech component, is there any other route? for example I use Microsoft Voice API, is there any examples? ``` thank you very much! ---
