Sketch does not run; P2D Error ([...] Please call TIS/TSM in main thread) - Looking for workaround

Hi there
I’ve already seen questions about this topic and I’m aware there is still not a real solution for this error. I couldn’t find a workaround to allow my sketch to run. Wondering if form the community here I can get some help.

FYI what I’ll want to achieve is a creation of a “word-cloud” where the input is a microphone so that people can interact with it saying the word that will be part of the cloud. Still a work in progress. For now, the input is a text file.

Here the code:

    float relsize = map(count[currentIndex],least,most,minSize,maxSize);
    boolean drawn = false;  
    while (!drawn) {
      drawn = drawWord(words[currentIndex], relsize);
      if (!drawn)
       println("redrawing "+words[currentIndex]);
        relsize = relsize * 0.95;
    }
    currentIndex++;
  }

Thanks

Well, it shouldn’t be an error! Can you try a simpler sketch with that renderer? Looking at https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/5462 it should just be a message but still work?!

hey thanks for the answer.
Correct, with the sketch indicated I still have the error but it run.

then don’t get why my sketch does not run as well.
