Voice recognition stops/freezes every 58 seconds in Word Tracking mode
Description
The microphone stops working for an instant every ~58 seconds, even while I'm actively speaking.
After the freeze, the app stops recognizing voice input completely until I manually stop and restart voice recognition.
This happens consistently:
- Every 58 seconds (approximately)
- Even when speaking continuously
- Even with simple words
- Even when the system previously recognized the word correctly
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Textream
- Load a script text
- Start Word Tracking mode (voice-activated scrolling)
- Begin speaking continuously
- After ~58 seconds, microphone briefly disconnects and reconnects
- Voice recognition stops working completely
- Must manually stop and restart voice recognition to continue
Expected Behavior
Voice recognition should work continuously without interruption while speaking.
Actual Behavior
Voice recognition freezes every ~58 seconds and requires manual restart.
Environment
- macOS: Tahoe 26.5
- Hardware: Apple M1
- RAM: 8GB
- Textream Version: 1.5.2
- Textream Mode: Word Tracking (voice-activated)
- Language: Italian
Notes
- This does NOT happen with other speech recognition applications
- The problem is specific to Textream's voice tracking
- Other macOS speech recognition apps work fine without this 58-second timeout
- This is extremely disruptive when recording video (need to stop every 58 seconds)
Impact
High - makes the app unusable for continuous voice-activated teleprompting during video recording/streaming.
