How to remove the overlay STT box from the SpeechRecognizer API in Android Studio?

Question

While making a STT app in Android Studio (Jetpack Compose). I encountered this in the SpeechRecognizer when I ran the app: STT in app I want to delete that so the UI looks more clean. Is there a way to do that?

I have thought of doing an overlay over the whole activity and just covering the popup box but I am not sure how to do that.

That popup is from the Google SpeechRecognizer UI, you can’t remove it directly.
You need to use the SpeechRecognizer API instead.

Example:

val recognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(context)
val intent = Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH).apply {
    putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL, RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM)
    putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE, Locale.getDefault())
    putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_CALLING_PACKAGE, context.packageName)
}
recognizer.setRecognitionListener(object : RecognitionListener {
    override fun onResults(results: Bundle?) { /* handle results */ }
    override fun onReadyForSpeech(params: Bundle?) { /* update UI */ }
    // implement other callbacks...
})
recognizer.startListening(intent)
