Response time too long

When I use the monitor (HDMI) on RP-3 I can see that there is a log entry on the screen of my wakeup word, possible 1 or 2 minutes later. Almost at the same time, I can already read the answer. However, the till I receive actually a voice takes another minute or two.
Is there something to set?

First of all, I don’t know where you are located but there might be a fair bit of latency hitting api.mycroft.ai. Also, on the PiCroft image I’ve noticed a performance decrease (as opposed to our mark 1 unit, which is also using a pi 3 but with a custom sound card). It also might have something to do with the tailing of log files, not sure.

I have the same problem. Whats the solution?

I am in Taiwan.

The log file on screen shows a response time from less then 1 sec between the recognized question and the answer. I take that as fast Internet connection. The waiting time, till the wakeup word is recognized and the question understood, with 1 to 2 minutes, simple too long. There must be some problem.

Since the system has upgraded to 0.83 I get 99% no answer anymore. “Sorry, I could not catch that” after a randomly time, even if I have not even asked something.

Hi saw your post, as a musician I use the ‘low latency’ linux kernel in ubuntu studio as a lot of audio applications don’t work properly without it, also user group memory allocation is something to be considered with linux audio! don’t know if this is any help? but thought I would respond anyway, have a cool day there.

What power supply are you using with your pi?

I did some experimentation yesterday with a Pi having the same problem and found a better power supply solved the problem.

I’m going to test with the recommend power supply this weekend (which puts out 2Amps) and see if that needs to be what we recommend.
