Pick Up & Go Update Train

Template training is available for the Pick Up & Go recognizer when a user experiences a recognition difficulty. The Update Train option is now available for Pick Up & Go as it has been with BlueStreak recognition. There are limits on the Update Train feature. See the CHANGELOG.md file in the devkit directory for information on limitations within this release.

Adjust TTS Speed

The ability to adjust the text to speech speed within the workflow has been added to the overflow menu. The options are "slower" and "faster". This feature can be voice enabled so the user can speak "Control Slower" and "Control Faster". By default, the voice enabled feature is disabled.

Device Support

Support is added for the Honeywell CW45 wearable computer with Android 12.

Landscape Mode for CW45

Landscape mode is supported for the Honeywell CW45 wearable computer. Landscape mode is not supported on other devices except those that are identified as a tablet.

Report Problem

Issues Reported in this Release

Issue DescriptionIssue ID

Character Encoding Issues

Some valid Shift-JIS characters do now encode on one or all of the following systems: Windows .NET, Android, A700x. Other characters may encode correctly, but decode incorrectly. Such issues may be encountered in other encoding.

Workaround: Override encoding can be used for characters that do not encode or decode correctly.

VOSMB-5881

General Considerations and Limitations

Issue DescriptionIssue ID
When using the Visual Studio extension to create a project and Legacy Server (TCP) is seleted for the workflow filter, the secure connection flag still shows, however the PropChangeManager for TCP does not actually handle secure TCP connections (i.e. SSL).VOSMB-3742

Previously Reported Limitations

Issue DescriptionIssue ID

Scanning Data Can Override Priority Prompts

Priority prompts can be overridden by scanning data at a screen where scanning is a valid input.

VOSMB-1415

Voice Dialogue Continues to Run During Background Activity

When waiting for background spinner activity to complete, speech recognition may allow the operator to use some menu items through voice, e.g., Say Again and Help.

VOSMB-1406

Unable to Exit Error Screen with VoiceLink

Entering an invalid host address can cause an indefinite processing (spinner icon) state, with VoiceLink.

Workaround: Close the Guided Work Application and enter a valid host address

VOSMB-1353

Do Not Press + and - Buttons on SRX3 Headset to Unpair

When unpairing your SRX3 headset from an Android device, do not press the + and buttons simultaneously. This procedure causes known issues with TTS and voice recognition.

Proper Procedure: To unpair your SRX3 headset from an Android device, go to your device Bluetooth settings, display the Paired devices screen, select the headset, and tap FORGET to unpair the headset and the Android device.

VOSMB-1448

Pressing Power Button on SRX-SL or SRX2 Headset Causes Unpairing

If you press the Power button on your SRX-SL or SRX2 headset, the headset unpairs from the device.

Workaround: Power off the headset and re-pair your device and headset.

VOSMB-1252

Application goes into landscape from Photo Intent

Exiting the camera view in the photo intent while in landscape mode will cause the application to be in landscape mode, which is not supported and may cause issues.

Workaround: Rotate the device to portrait mode before or after exiting the camera view.

VOSMB-992

"GatewayTimeout" error message from Microservices

If the mobile application has trouble reaching the Microservices host ("GatewayTimeout") while attempting to retrieve templates it may force the user to retrain all words for that workflow.

Workaround: If you experience this behavior close and restart the app and log in again

VOSMB-971

Changing Site on Device Does Not Affect VoiceConsole

If you have selected a VoiceConsole instance as the server on the mobile device and select one of the sites, the device will remain associated with that site even if you change sites again in the mobile application. To move a device to a different VoiceConsole site, move the device within VoiceConsole.

VOSMB-900

Do Not Press Next Button Quickly

If you have untrained words and get to the template training instructions screen, if you tap the Next button in rapid succession, it can cause the application to shut down unexpectedly.

VOSMB-230

Audio to the Bluetooth Headset Can Fail

In some situations, the audio no longer comes through a Bluetooth headset even though it is still paired to the device.

Workaround: Unpair and re-pair the headset.

VOSMB-28

Errors while Transmitting Files to VoiceConsole

A number of errors may appear in the device logs when transmitting logs to VoiceConsole. In spite of these errors, all log files are eventually transmitted successfully.

VOSMB-570

Cannot Retrieve Templates

If you create a user with the name of the point character (.) in the Microservices application scheme, any templates trained under that name will not be retrieved. Do not use . as a user name.

VOSMB-567

State Machine Recommendation

Do not create a state machine where the first state goes directly into a secondary state machine and sets the next trigger for return. The app will become unresponsive when returning from the secondary state machine and the second state will never run.

VOSMB-465

Do Not Remove Device when in Debug

When a device is attached via USB to a computer and the application is run through Visual Studio in debug mode, do not remove the device from the dock. If you do, the application may shut down.

VOSMB-572
