New Features in Honeywell Devkit

Settings Lockdown
The settings lockdown feature prevents changing certain settings via the user interface. These include voice and audio settings and application settings. If a higher level setting is locked down, so are all settings under it. By default, no settings are locked down.
Visual Studio 2022 Support
Visual Studio 2022 is now supported. Visual Studio 2019 support continues.
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 BlueTrack 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
The report problem feature allows a user to speak “Control Report Problem” when a problem occurs and a snapshot of log files is sent. By default, this feature is disabled. The number of logs sent with this feature can also be configured.

Issues Reported in this Release

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

When using the Visual Studio extension to create a project and Legacy Server (TCP) is sleeted for the workflow filter, the secure connection flag still shows, however the Prop  Change Manager for TCP does not actually handle secure TCP connections (i.e. SSL).
VOSMB-3742
Previously Reported Limitations

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 Voice Link
Entering an invalid host address can cause an indefinite processing (spinner icon) state, with Voice Link.
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
“Gateway Timeout” error message from Microservices
If the mobile application has trouble reaching the Microservices host (“Gateway Timeout”) 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 Voice Console
If you have selected a Voice Console 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 Voice Console site, move the device within Voice Console.
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 Voice Console
A number of errors may appear in the device logs when transmitting logs to Voice Console. 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
