What is "BeginRecording"?

Lorourkethebest · December 14, 2021, 11:08pm

Honestly that is dumb because you could make a really inappropriate game and if recording, you could remove the inappropriate stuff, which would make reporting harder.

It says on the API page he linked that its a function.

Yes, I know. Functions don’t typically detect things, that’s what most events do.

Also, we don’t really know what it does since you can’t call it. You’d have to go digging in the API for that, most likely.

I have unmarked the solution because of this:

Ah I see, now. I THINK it says that because BeginRecording is a function in the uneditable part of the CoreGUI, which you can’t edit or disable, which is why the output displays lack of permissions.

Okay so what is it actually for then?

It’s used for voice chat:

I thought so too! Does it actually recognize what they say?

Winbloo · December 17, 2021, 4:57am

Yes, it does actually, it has a voice to text system:

So why isn’t this available to developers (or at least with a consent popup?)

I also have an older screenshot of this, back from almost a year ago:

Why did they decide to change it to blank? Also again why would it be a bool?

The function only detects if you’re recording through ROBLOX’s built-in recorder. Many people nowadays use external recording software, such as Bandicam for example.

Judging that Voice was only released a few months ago, it probably was in studio but protected by CoreScripts, now that you don’t need testing, they probably removed it and made it blank.

captan40000 · January 5, 2022, 12:15pm

I think your talking about Recording. This is actually for Spatial Voice, it’s also a function (I believe) For SoundService.

camomileex0 · January 8, 2022, 5:46am

Testing what?

captan40000 · January 8, 2022, 9:31am

Spatial Voice testing. Do you think they just opened it for the public once they thought it was done? I’m not sure myself, tho.

camomileex0 · January 8, 2022, 5:54pm

It did actually have a description at one time:

“Starts listening to the user’s voice.”

Maybe it is for Roblox’s screen recorder, but it records your voice while you record your screen? I always wanted that as a kid if that’s what it is.

camomileex0 · January 17, 2022, 11:32pm

And if it is for voice chat, why would it be needed? Were they trying to make a censoring system then just bailed on it?

It looks like it’s used for speech to text on some VR virtual keyboard

Hmm, that’s very interesting! Thanks for debugging it.
