Facial recognition not working

When I am in the "Faces" mode and I go to a person's "face" page, at the bottom it tells you that person may be in more photos.  On the right, you click to "Confirm" those pictures.  When I do this and I "Confirm"  or deny the photo, it's not working.  It keeps displaying the same photos over and over again.  I am hitting "done" at the end.  However, the same photos keep showing up to confirm.  Any reason why?
Thanks!

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Photoshop Elements Organizer 11: Facial Recognition not working.

    When I click on either 1 photo or 10 photos to add a name to the faces it says "no new people found in your selection". I have tried to only click on 1 photo, then click on mark face and it will say that this photo has not been analyzed yet, even though it has, and after analyzing it will say the same thing. Please help! I have over 20,000 photos to put names to the faces.
    Thanks!!!!

    I don't use facial recognition and can't help you on that matter. Repairing and optimizing can do no harm but won't help either. Don't reinstall, that won't help you even if your catalogs will be preserved. I'd wait for other answers from people acquainted with the facial recognition feature.

  • OK,  PE has Facial Recognition, it works very well.  I try to use LR 4 or 5 to pullin the PE catalog

    I spent days in Photoshop Elements Organizer "adding" people.  I got over 24K images tagged wtih people.
    I then brought up LR (tried with both 4 and 5) and "converted existing PE catalog.  unfortunatly, NONE of the people data came accross into LR.
    So, I wasted days of work.
    How am I supposed to pull in that date from PE Organizer into LR?  Its why I used PE to do facial recognition, and wanted LR for work flow, but wanted quick smart sets based on faces in the pictures.
    looks beautiful in PE Organizer, looks normal in LR.  Any help is appreciated.

    I thought about the converting the "People" info in PSE Organizer to a "Tag" to be imported inot LR when you convered the PSE Organizer catalog.
    First, I thought People was a tag, and should have automatically picked up and tied to the photo within LR.  (obviously not the case) and second of all, i really have no idea how to do this.
    I really don't have to have to tag 24K photo's with the names of people again in LR since I spent weeks in PSE.   Especially since there isn't a facial recognition option in LR like PSE.
    Still looking.   BTW, the excecise of using Facial Recognition on PSE helped me eleminate over 5200 duplicate photos.  So, it wasn't all wasted.
    Thansk ssprengel for responding.  Hopefull someone there will no how to exececute on your idea.

  • Iphone 6 voice recognition not working

    I have an iphone 6 and have had it since October 2014.  For about a month now, the voice recognition option does not work.  I like to use it rather than texting, and emails when I'm on the go and it's frustrating that I can't figure out what's wrong.  I have looked through other threads to try and figure out what else I might do.  So far I've:
    rebooted (hard reset)
    double checked that all my settings are correct re Siri and voice recognition
    checked that it is not a problem with earphones v. no earphones.  Doesn't appear to make any difference
    Siri doesn't work either
    Checked the microphone to make sure it's not blocked or something
    I can use the phone feature just fine. 
    It just seems to be the voice recognition feature that doesn't want to cooperate.  If you have any ideas please let me know!
    I'm taking it to the Apple Store next week since I have run out of my own ideas... Thanks!

    Hi bishibarnabee,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you continue to have issues with Voice Control and/or Siri, you may find the troubleshooting outlined in the following articles helpful, in addition to taking it in to the Apple Store if necessary:

  • Speech recognition not working

    I have an iPhone 5 and for several months, no form of speech recognition has worked, whether for Siri or, for example,  voice dictation when sending text messages,
    Whenever I try to use the feature, the line does not wave at all, as though the mic is not picking up any sound. But I can speak to people on the phone just fine.
    It's been this way for several months, and the phone has be reset and shut on and off several times in theat period. I switched Siri on and off in that time as well. Can anyone help me?

    You should have mentioned that so I can saved some typing.

  • Speech Recognition Not Working Well

    Not matter how hard I try to get my speech recognition to work on my MacBook Pro, it is very temperamental! Even when I am in a quiet space it will respond, but after a while it won't. I've tried calibrating it, etc but doesn't make a huge difference.
    What makes me think there is a problem is the fact that when speech recognition is activated there is supposed to be lights that light up (on the actual speech recognition widget thing - as I have noticed on various other MacBook Pro users' YouTube videos). But for mine, the bottom, blue light only lights up; and no matter how loud I shout at it, the blue light DOESN'T then go on to the green light. However, when I calibrate it, my speech is recognised as being in the 'green area'; so I am speaking t the right level.
    I appreciate your help!

  • Speech Recognition Not Working. Why?

    I have a 6-month old Macbook (OSX 10.5.5), and I want to try out the built in speech recognition software. For some reason, it won't accept any input, no matter the configuration I put it in. When I click calibrate, it's slow to open, and no matter what I do with the slider, it won't recognize my commands. I've tried it in a new account, but without success. It appears to be system-wide. Also, there are no items in the speakable items folder, and a feedback box does not appear on the desktop. Any ideas?

    Im assuming you've used the Sound pane to check that the built-in mic is working, and that you've remembered to click on the "Speakable Items" radio button.
    There are a couple of fixes that normally work when changing user helps, but it is possible that two user accounts have the same problems!
    1)
    Have you got any items in Address Book that are marked as "Company" but have no company name in them? This is an old problem that was supposed to have been fixed with Leopard, but I've heard people complaining about it occasionally since. If there are, try going through them and putting in the company names, then log out and back in again.
    2)
    Try deleting the preference files
    com.apple.speech.recognition.recognizer.prefs.plist
    com.apple.speech.recognition.AppleSpeechRecognition.prefs.plist
    com.apple.speech.recognition.feedback.prefs.plist
    all in ~/Library/Preferences/
    Failing those, and the missing Speakable Items suggests that's not the fault, try downloading and reapplying the latest Combo updater.
    If that doesn't do the trick, you may have to reinstall the OS.
    Sorry!

  • Speech recognition not working on Lumia 920

    I keep getting "sorry couldn't hear anything"
    Folks, I have searched the forums and found lots of posts about this problem but no solution.
    My phone does not pick up any sound when I try bing music search or try voice recognition. All settings are on and this used to work. Now the graphic equaliser UI does not react to my speech or music which indicates the microphone is not picking up sound.
    I have never used a bluetooth adaptor and have only been using the headphones with the mic that was supplied with the phone (WP8 Nokia Lumia 920).
    When I plug in the supplied headphones the sound is picked up through the microphone on the headphones.
    I have rebooted and tried various combinations of plugging and unplugging the headphones. Clearly the phone still thinks the microphone is connected via the headphones. Luckily phone calls still work.
    Please help.

    Have you tried resetting the device?
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Speech Recognition not working when tested in IE on Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I have adapted the example code form the Speech Recognition documentation to fire up Speech recognition in Visual Studio for Web Express 2013 on Windows 8.
    The speech synthensizer works fine when I fire up the app in IE and produce Text-to-speech, but when I try the Speech recognition code, all I get is "Waiting for Localhost" messages, and no result.
    Is there a problem with speech recognition with Web development using browsers? (I tried and failed in Opera as well)
    I am keen to use speech recognition for a webapp, ultimately serving mobile devices with the power of server-based processing.
    Anyone help please?

  • Speech Recognition not working with bluetooth headset

    I've got speakable items turned on and everything set the way it should, but I can't do spoken commands via a bluetooth headset. I've tried it on two seperate headsets by differing manufacturers, with no luck on either. I tried with a USB headset and it worked fine, but the bluetooth won't acknowledge any commands. They work fine in every other application, and the speakable items bubble thing that comes up shows sound being recognized fromt the set, just no commands acknowledged.

    Problem solved and voice control via bluetooth headset has been restored. Here's how:
    With headset off, go to Settings/General/Bluetooth and turn BT on. When the list of devices comes up showing "not connected," click the blue right arrow and then choose "forget this device." Shut down iPhone by holding top button until red slider shows up and sliding it to the right.
    Remove battery from headset so it will reset. Restart iPhone (hold down top button until apple appears). Go to Settings/General/Bluetooth and make sure BT is "on." Replace battery in headset and turn it on. You should see the PIN entry screen, meaning that your headset is being re-paired with the iPhone. Enter the PIN for your headset.
    At this point, try taping the BT button and see if you get "Voice Control" screen and double beep in headset. If so, you're done. If not, try this sequence again.

  • Speech recognition not working properly!

    I just started trying out the speech recognition tool in Snow Leopard and I seem to be having problems with it. When I calibrate it (using the internal mic) it works fine and understands those phrases perfectly but when I actually say the exact same thing outside of the calibration process the computer doesn't seem to understand. I know it's picking up my voice because the little widget thing animates as is does when it hears sound and the "Speakable Items" option is set to on . It actually worked once yesterday when I tried it for the first time, I told it to switch to an app and it did but that was the end of it.
    What should I do? I haven't updated the software to 10.6.1, would this perhaps solve the issue? I don't know if it worked before I upgraded to Snow Leopard because this is the first time I've tried it out

    Had the same problem.  Could only resolve by going back to Snow Leopard.

  • Fingerprint recognition not working

    I have a new 5s and set up fingerprint recognition. It quite working after I upgraded to 7.0.2.  Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so, any fixes?

    I had the same problem after iOS upgrade.  I followed Joe_Fo's advice here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5446246
    and it's been working well so far.  Good luck!

  • Good example of face recognition not working

    I started the automatic face recognition process through my old family photos. As it happened, I had a photo of 35 passport type pics of myself (all the same pic) that I had used for a country that needed numerous permits.
    Remember....these shots of me are EXACTLY the same.
    It has now asked me no less than 12 times if this picture is me as it randomly goes through photos. If I said that this photo was me the first time, and the second, and the third...etc.....how can it not recognize the exact same photos as me also?
    There has to be a problem here.

  • Z30 telephone touch tone recognition not working (new software update?)

    Updated my Z30 software to the latest version a week ago.... But now it seems when I make a call to an automated service, the automated service doesn't recognize my number presses.  The Z30 makes the tone when I hit the buttons (I can see that the touch screen recognizes my finger press and it beeps with the corresponding tone) but the automated systems don't do anything with that.  I have examples of at least two places I've called in the last couple of days and I can't get past the "press 1 to continue" part. Any clue??? Thanks,Rob

    ........a restart fixed it. STUPID!!!

  • Lightroom 6 / CC2015 - Facial Recognition Terribly Slow, not using all of CPU or GPU, still keeps going when paused.

    This is actually a couple of issue but wondering if others are experiencing it and worked through it.
    I am using a Dual Xeon CPU 3.2 ghz Mac Pro, Catalog on SSD, Images files on Mirrored Pair, Dedicated GPU (max I can install in my version of Mac Pro) and hardware acceleration enabled in Lightroom.
    I watched the Lightroom 6 Facial Recognition tutorial which leaves out a lot of the bulk editing and says basically let it loose on your whole catalog.. NOT recommended.
    I started out with a couple small portrait galleries that identified a couple hundred total people to seed facial recognition so it didn't suggest everyone is the first person I confirmed (which it will do otherwise). I have also optimized my catalog multiple times.
    I have encountered the following serious performance issues and bugs with Facial Recognition.:
    Lightroom Facial Recognition goes to a ridiculous crawl after about 2000 images to be confirmed. (i.e. 2000-2300 in a couple hours, 800-1200 in the next 12 hours)
    Lightroom becomes largely unresponsive after having a fair number of images to be confirmed, even after pausing Address and Facial Recognition. So even selecting 4 rows of images can take 5 minutes with several long pauses.
    Once I select and click confirm it takes up to 2 minutes to update the "to be confirmed" list again.
    When I click on an individual at the top of the page, pause facial recognition and address lookup it still continues to "Look for similar faces" [BUG!!!!!!!!] even though all I want to do is just confirm some individuals more quickly in bulk with the images already identified.. not continue to look for more as a work around for the painfully slow responsiveness of the module.
    The odd part is that with all of the performance issues Lightroom will not use more than 20-30% of my two Xeon CPUs, barely touches my GPU (<10% CPU, 30% memory), my and no more than 35% of my memory. Computer Temps are also barely above startup temperatures and 15-25 degrees cooler than when I run other applications which will consume my entire CPU and memory if I let it. I have explored Lightroom's settings but seen nothing further I can configure to speed it all up.  I have also attempted the operation on images on the SSD, my drobo (known to be slow), an independent fast disk I have, and a pair of raided disks and have the same issues.
    I will also note that all of my other applications seem to continue to operate just fine.. the slowness seems to be contained to the Lightroom application itself.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    A big problem continues to be that once you wait for it to index all your faces you find it missed over half of them. There are many cases where it missed the subject of the photo but managed to find a tiny waiter off in the shadows. I don't know how this will ever get fixed; it seems it'll require an update that lets you rerun the indexing a few times, maybe with different levels of granularity. I doubt that's coming.
    It stands to reason that a system that hands you thousands of false positives for every face can't recognize if something is or isn't a face in over half the cases. Faces in profile or tilted down, especially with the eyes looking down, are bypassed completely. I have directories with a thousand people shots in them, many with multiple people, and instead of LR6 returning an index of 1.5k or so, it gives me 385. I'm not sure how valuable the search advantages will be in this case; I can see it not returning some favorite shots of people.
    Anyway, for anyone looking to get past the spinning wheels, work on one directory at a time. Then once a directory is done, keep it selected so you have the same thumbnails of identified faces in the confirmed area, and control-select the next directory. You won't have to reseed the confirmed faces area this way and things move much faster when you're not working with the entire library. It also helps to click each person in the confirmed faces and work in that view sometimes. It'll return faces of family members of that person and you can rename those. You can watch it focus its top results as you confirm but, annoyingly, it doesn't narrow the total suggestions but actually expands them the more faces you confirm and the fewer correct positives remain. (This seems opposite to how it should work. It should give you fewer faces the more you confirm as it gets a better idea what the person looks like and has fewer shots left unconfirmed of that person.)  Yet, even with the expanded results, faces will still escape it and pop up in other people's results as false positives.
    Bottom line: It's only a little better than manual tagging, and not as thorough because of the poor hit rate of the initial indexing. But it works better if you stick to isolated directories and occasionally individual people. At least that way you don't have to wait for it to re-sort tens of thousands of results with every click.
