Did a bit more testing, looks like the continuous speech recognition isn’t compatible with the draw function if you want to continuously draw the words. Logging the frame rate shows that it gets stuck on the first frame. I’m guessing that since it’s a continuous process, p5 technically can’t continue to run the code past it (at 60 times a second) like it normally would. In the example on the p5.speech site, it’s not drawing the words it recognizes as text - it only uses them to move the dot around.
