Hi there. I’m creating an app that uses the TextToSpeech and Speech Recognizer. The first time that I run the app the TextToSpeech well, but after run the Speech Recognizer the TextToSpeech dos not work anymore. I also tried to play a sound and it does not work after the Speech Recognizer. ---

Try to flip these blocks. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/3/8354d10c2ebf537f3d7ba7b84e70c37e8468a426.png) It looks like the listener and speaker are hanging. Make sure you clean up after them. ---

Clean up means ensuring you are stopping and starting things only when you need them ---

I am experiencing similar issues. To clear the issue I seem to need to close both safari and thunkable apps on my phone. After that I am able to get text to speech, but the moment I do a listen, then no more text to speech until I close apps. I also did text to speech stop before listen. ![screenshot_49](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/9/5982a79b15a27f67bc427719cb6e6e057fc67169.jpeg) ---
