Hello everyone!  
I’m really new to processing, I’m trying to do a voice recognition patch in which if certain words are said the program display images or text and so on…  
The voice recognition work, but I think I’m missing something in the if condition at the end because when I say “Dog” nothing happens.  
Thank you!!

```auto
import websockets.*;

WebsocketServer ws;
int crono_check = 60000;
int crono_ws = -crono_check;
String SpeechDetectorLink = "site.com";
String lastSpeech = "";

void setup()
{
  size(500,500);
  ws= new WebsocketServer(this,8080,"/");
  // Rendo la finestra di output sempre on top
  surface.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
}

void draw()
{
  background(0);
  if(millis() - crono_ws >= crono_check)
  {
    openSpeechDetectorLink();
  }
  int sectorefresh = (int)((crono_check - (millis() - crono_ws)) / 1000.0);
  text("Last speech: " + lastSpeech, 20, 20);
  text("Refresh link in " + sectorefresh + " sec", 20, 40);
  

}

void webSocketServerEvent(String msg)
{
   lastSpeech = msg;
   println(msg + " (" + msg.length());
   crono_ws = millis();
   String[] m1 = match(msg, "mela");
   if (m1 != null) 
   {  
     // If not null, then a match was found
     println("-----------------------");
   }

}

void openSpeechDetectorLink()
{
    link(SpeechDetectorLink);
    crono_ws = millis();
    println("Launched link: " + SpeechDetectorLink);
}

void voicerecognition ()
{
     if (lastSpeech.equals("dog")) ;{
    println("Matching voice");
  }
}

```

How do you know that it works? When does it work, and what happens?
