Q:

Android Continuous Speech Recognition using pocketsphinx. How to clear hypothesis?

I am Currently working on a project to implement offline continuous speech recognition using pocketsphinx. I have developed it to the point where it recognizes the keyword I say, however the hypothesis in onPartialResults() and onResults() is not cleared and the words keep appending to the string. Therefore the code ahead keeps getting called infinitely.
Using hypothesis.setHypstr(""); or hypothesis.delete(); doesn't do anything.
I want it to wait in the background, whenever I say the keyword, it runs the code and wait in the background again.

A:

To clear hypothesis you need to stop recognizer and start listening again:
   recognizer.cancel()
   recognizer.startListening(searchName)

Check the code here for example
