  Speech Recognition Not Working in After Effects Extension

  Posted by Othman Ahmed on May 8, 2025 at 5:33 pm

  I’m developing a Voice Animator Pro extension for After Effects that uses voice commands. My issue is simple but frustrating: speech recognition works perfectly in a regular browser but fails inside the After Effects CEP panel.

  I’ve tried:

  Web Speech API (requires internet)
  Vosk (offline solution)
  Proper folder structure and permissions
  Installing in the correct CEP directory
  Setting PlayerDebugMode=1 in the registry

  Both methods give errors when accessing the microphone from within After Effects. The extension itself loads, but speech recognition won’t initialize.

  Has anyone successfully implemented microphone access and speech recognition inside an After Effects CEP panel? Any working examples or alternative approaches would be extremely helpful.

  Thank you!
