Microsoft Azure Web Chat, trigger mic from other function - node.js

Question

I have used Microsoft Bot Framework to create a bot for the client side. i.e. called WebChat. I have also added Speech SpeechRecognizer. However, I am trying to trigger a mic when a phrase is recited.
I couldn't find a function in Microsoft that does this. So I added my own speech recognizer that is called every second and once the phrase is called I want to call the mic function from the Cognitive Services.
How Can I achieve this?
I have got the speech recognizer from here
And the one I have written to identify a phrase is this:
function startDictation() {
if (window.hasOwnProperty('webkitSpeechRecognition')) {
var recognition = new webkitSpeechRecognition();
recognition.continuous = false;
recognition.interimResults = false;
recognition.lang = "en-US";
recognition.start();
recognition.onresult = function (e) {
var foundText = e.results[0][0].transcript;
console.log(foundText);
if (foundText == "hello hello") {
console.log("found text");
//call cognitive service mic function
recognition.stop();
}
else {
console.log("text not found");
recognition.stop();
startDictation();
}
};
recognition.onerror = function (e) {
console.log("found error", e);
recognition.stop();
}
}
}
Do let me know if any information is missing or miss-leading.

I tried to leverage startRecognizing() function in SpeechRecognizer class at https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/blob/master/src/CognitiveServices/SpeechRecognition.ts#L72 to trigger the recognize functionality. However, I found that only if I have click the mic item, then I could use startRecognizing() function to recognize the voice.
There is a trick workaround you can try to use at present:
I inspected the mic item, and try to triiger its click event in js, which worked exactly to recognize my speech.
You can try to use following js code snippet with jQuery:
$('.wc-mic').trigger("click")
Hope it helps.
