Question

I’ve been reading through the Android docs and Google searches on Speech Recognition looking for something that tracks how many times or instances a specific word has been said. I understand that it returns an array list of possible matches with how confident of a match it believes it to be. What I want to know is there a way to pull how many times it believes “cat” (for example) is said during its “recording”? IE it believes “cat” is said 3 times, so it returns 3 instances of “cat” and for each instance reacts to it. Kinda like saying Beetlejuice 3 times and he appears. Is there a direct way of doing this?

Assuming you are returning the data as a ArrayList

ArrayList<String> s = data.getStringArrayListExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);
        String[] split = s.get(0).split(" ");
        int count = 0;
        for (String t : split) {
            if (t.contains(split[0])) {
                count++;
            }
        }
        //count now equals number of repeats of a word within a phrase
