Android CMU Sphinx .getRecognizer() Method Freezes App

[Eric]

Hi All,

I have a really strange issue when attempting to debug an android app I wrote that uses CMU Sphinx.

This code:

if(recognizer == null) {
                Assets assets = new Assets(this);
                File assetsDir = assets.syncAssets();

                // Init the voice recognition
                recognizer = defaultSetup()
                        .setAcousticModel(new File(assetsDir, "en-us-ptm"))
                        .setDictionary(new File(assetsDir, "cmudict-en-us.dict"))
                        .setKeywordThreshold(1e-5f)
                        .getRecognizer();

                recognizer.addListener(this);
                recognizer.addKeyphraseSearch(getString(R.string.speech_recognizer_searchName), getString(R.string.speech_recognizer_keyword).toLowerCase());
                recognizer.startListening(getString(R.string.speech_recognizer_searchName));
            }

Sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. getRecognizer seems to lock up and never finish sometimes, and other times it works just fine (or at least the code continues). How do I troubleshoot or figure out why that's happening? No exception is thrown according to Android Studio.

I'm using pocketsphinx-android-5prealpha-release. I hope that's the latest version.

It most likely means your sdcard is dying.
