Sending WatchKit Voice recognition's text to another interface controller - objective-c

Question

I am having an issue sending dictated text to another interface controller.
Here is my code:
- (IBAction)voiceRecognition {
[self presentTextInputControllerWithSuggestions:nil allowedInputMode:WKTextInputModePlain completion:^(NSArray *results) {
NSLog(#"results: %#", results);
NSString *wordKey = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",results];
NSDictionary *dict = #{#"kWord":wordKey};
[self pushControllerWithName:#"Dictionary" context:dict];
}];
}
Logs:
Watch Extension[3185:2835671] results: ( Hello )
Getting data from other Interface controller:
- (void)awakeWithContext:(id)context {
[super awakeWithContext:context];
NSDictionary *dict = (NSDictionary *)context;
[_word setText:dict[#"kWord"]];
NSLog(#"The Word is %#",[dict description]);
}
Logs:
Watch Extension[3185:2835671] The Word is {
kWord = "(\n Hello\n)";
}
Here is a screen shot that shows my problem:
The ( is supposed to show the word Hello. How can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

You used stringWithFormat to format an array as a string.
This took ["Hello"] and correctly converted it to the literal "(\n Hello\n)"
Because that string has a newline, it can't be displayed on a single line. Your Storyboard WKInterfaceLabel number of lines is likely set to 1, so it would only show the first line, which is (.
How can you fix this?
If you're only interested in the first word, use results.firstObject and pass that single word as the string value for your kWord key.
NSDictionary *dict = #{#"kWord": results.firstObject};
Otherwise, pass the entire array as the value, and have the destination interface controller handle the array of results as needed.
NSDictionary *dict = #{#"kWord": results};
You also may want to change the number of lines to show the entire dictation text, to handle the case where the text wouldn't fit on a single line.
Other options:
If you actually intended to send the dictated text as a single string of words, you can use
NSString *wordKey = [results componentsJoinedByString:#" "]
