SpeechRecognition still continue to access the microphone even after stopListening

[HollowCrusader]

    const SpeechlySpeechRecognition = createSpeechlySpeechRecognition(appId)
            
    SpeechRecognition.applyPolyfill(SpeechlySpeechRecognition)

    const startListening = () =>  SpeechRecognition.startListening({continuous:true})
    const stopListening = ()=>  SpeechRecognition.stopListening()

This is the code snippet I used to control the speech recognition and it worked when I start listening and it does stop listening, However, it still show red dot on Chrome browser tab indicating that it is still using microphone.

Is there a way to fix it or is it considered to be a bug?

I think this happens because there is one instance of the object. I was having the same issue. You have to be careful of the global scope. If you are using react, it is possible that stopListening is being called in some other component with a useEffect.

For me, simply removing continuous: true solved the issue.

Hi,

My observations on the topic. For me, stopListening doesn't work in continuous mode when I call resetTranscript before stopListening. I need to do it after.
