Voice SDK Dictation Not Working in Unity 2023.2+

[yutoVR]

I upgraded my project to Unity 6 from Unity 2022 LTS. Here's my current setup:

• Unity 6000.0.27f1
• Meta XR Core SDK 69.0.1
• Meta XR Interaction SDK Essentials 69.0.1
• Meta XR Voice SDK 69.0.0

With this setup, the Core SDK requires the use of GameActivity, but the Voice SDK's dictation functionality requires Activity. As a result, dictation cannot be executed on Unity 2023.2+.

This is an error on Quest 3.

Is this a known issue? Or is there a possible workaround?

Here’s a related information for reference:

Do you have platform integration turned on in your dictation config? Turning that off if it is on might workaround this.

Thank you for your advice and sorry for a late reply.

Are you referring to this setting? It was turned off in my environment, and unfortunately, the issue persists.

Here’s some additional information:

I deleted Library folder and updated Mirror Networking to v93.0.1 which supports Unity 6. After that, dictation works in the Editor but not in the build.

In the build, AppDictationExperience.DictationEvents.OnError is invoked with the message "Dictation unavailable".

I'm getting the same issue. Have you found a solution?

[yutoVR]

Not yet, unfortunately. I believe this is an SDK issue, so I'm waiting for an update.

I am getting the same thing: error at build, but working in editor.  I also am using the same config known to be working in Unity 2022.3.33f, @yutoVR is correct, this is likely an SDK issue 😕
