We rely on the upstream SDK to fix this, thanks for patience.

To figure out more about this issue related to voice recognition, can you do this:

close all instances of VS Code
open a terminal / console
define an VSCODE_SPEECH_LOGS_PATH environment variable pointing to a folder that exists
- on Windows: set VSCODE_SPEECH_LOGS_PATH=<path to existing folder>
- on macOS/Linux: export VSCODE_SPEECH_LOGS_PATH=<path to existing folder>
start VS Code from that terminal / console by typing code (or code-insiders)
set log level to trace for the extension (see [1])
open the output channel for the extension (see [2])
try to reproduce the issue that you had seen with voice recognition or keyword activation

Can you then share the output from the extension output channel as well as any log files in the folder of VSCODE_SPEECH_LOGS_PATH. Thanks!
