Edit by @david-allison: the durations/time limit were correct

@david-allison @socialpercon I tried this out on the 2.16alpha42, and while the automatic answer function is working, it is not working as intended. After setting the time limit 6 seconds, for the 3 cards in the deck, the times after which the cards were shown were 10,11,8 seconds respectively. Any idea what could be causing the time limit to malfunction?

[david-allison]

Do your cards have audio?

[viciousAegis]

Do your cards have audio?

Yep,2 of the cards have audio

[david-allison]

Should be: audio duration + 6 then.

Yep, works as intended then

My guess is that the problem is with the TTS settings. If TTS setting is turned off, it works properly. However, there are cards with audio and cards without audio, so I want to set up TTS.

In brief: I have a similar problem but for me "automatic answer" only works if the "Set TTS language" is not set to "Don't speak" (I have tried with latest alpha version cf. the debug below)

In details: I am using a JS script to set the field for the front/back. Sometimes the front field is in English and sometimes it is in Dutch. As the language changes, I can't use the "set TTS language" features and I have set it to "don't speak" for both front and back. For TTS, I use instead AnkiDroidJS.ankiTtsSpeak() (cf. below). With these settings, the automatic answer doesn't work. The TTS is short (max 4sec) and I have tried with automatic show answer after 9 seconds and automatic next question after 15 seconds.

However, if I reactivate the "set TTS language" and set it to English and Dutch, then automatic answer works as expected (even with timeout set to 2 and 3 seconds)

AnkiDroidJS.ankiTtsSetLanguage(languageFront);
AnkiDroidJS.ankiTtsSpeak(textforTTS);

Could you re-report this as a separate issue? I did some work on automatic display answer, and this should be fixable and testable now
