There isn't a way for us to pass the mic input to the speech engine without it being the default mic at the moment.

VoiceBot shouldn't be changing your default mic though, does this happen when VoiceBot starts up? ]]> https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/keep-voicebot-from-changing-my-system-default-mic/?ID=816d1009-17b3-4fc8-9225-76cf162ccf0b Thu, 30 Aug 2018 01:57:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/keep-voicebot-from-changing-my-system-default-mic/?ID=816d1009-17b3-4fc8-9225-76cf162ccf0b VoiceBot I have other software which is dependent on the default mic setting. The only thing I found in the forum related to this is https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/use-with-daw-software/?ID=03de5c53-0641-4888-9250-aa8cb811fa27
My recording software occasionally crashes when the default mic changes and the software mic I use won't register in certain programs when it is not system default.

Has there been any changes regarding this or is there an alternative way to workaround this issue? ]]>
