Can you go to your app settings for Thunkable Live and check the permissions?

Is microphone access enable? And Speech to Text??

Can you share a screenshot of this error message please?

(Just wondering why it says Speech to Text, rather than Speech Recognizer? Is the Error with the way blocks you’ve used for your Text to Speech component?)

If you look at the first post, inside the `speech Recognizer` he/she is calling `Text to Speech` as if he/she is talking to the device and then the device should echo what he/she said.
