### Parameters

* **Target for Text** *\<unquoted string> -* The control or variable to save the recognized text.

  The remaining parameters are only valid for **Blocking** type.<br>
* **Show UI** *\<numeric>*
  1. Yes. A window will be show asking the user to speak.
  2. No. The system will wait for speech input without any user interface.<br>
* **Prompt** *\<string> -* When **Show UI=Yes** this is the text shown to the user.
* **Timeout** *\<numeric> -* When **Show UI=No** this is the timeout for the recognition to fail if nothing is recognized. 0 means system default.

{% hint style="info" %}
Confidence values are defined in percentage from 0 to 100%. When confidence value is not available 0 or -1 can be returned.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Android does not have a continuous mode option. Kalipso will loop internally to emulate a continuous mode, so the recognition may not work as well in this mode.
{% endhint %}
