    Hi,

    I have check Unity Tizen list of unsupported features here http://docs.unity3d.com/es/current/Manual/tizen-unsupported.html and Microphone manual page, and there is no info about Microphone on Tizen.
    So I guess that Microphone class is available on Tizne platform.
    But for some reason I get this error when I try to compile my code on Tizen:

    "The name `Microphone' does not exist in the current context"

    What should I do to make it work?

    Unfortunately microphones are not supported or implemented on Tizen at this time.

    Do you have any idea on when or if we might be able to use it? I'm very close to creating a voice to text application for smartwatchet which allows my native language

    It's hard to say. Very very few people have ever asked for microphone support on Tizen. In addition, we do not officially support Tizen smartwatches.

    Alright, I suppose it's to be understood that Tizen features are not on the main roadmap. It a shame that it's so underdeveloped. I'll be trying to make it native in Tizen Studio, but coming from unity it's an utter chaos.

    What do you mean by underdeveloped and utter chaos? Are there any other features that you would like to see for Tizen in Unity? Or specific issues that you have.

    I don't mean the unity part. Just tizen's own support forum is limited and very badly organised.

    Hello,

    I created a plugin to use Microphone, you can do the same.
    Or you can wait some weeks, I will sell my plugin on the AssetStore

    My Microphone plugin works fine with Unity.
    I created a VOIP app with Unity for Samsung Z1,Z2,Z3,Z4, I hope the app will be approved today or tomorrow.

    I am testing my plugin on my Gear S3.

    Hi @zugsoft, do you have a link to the Asset Store for your plugin?

    Hello,
    My plugin is not available on the Asset Store.
    For the moment I only include Microphone function in my plugin, is it enough for you ?

    You can use the my MicroPhone plugin for free
    http://www.zugsoft.com/unity/Plugins.zip

    You have to declare some extern variable in your class.

    #if UNITY_TIZEN
    [DllImport("micro")] private static extern int Init(float h);
    [DllImport("micro")] private static extern int Call();
    [DllImport("micro")] private static extern void StopCall();
    [DllImport("micro")] private static extern int Sequence();
    [DllImport("micro")] private static extern System.IntPtr RetrieveData();
    [DllImport("micro")] private static extern int GetBattery();
    [DllImport("micro")] private static extern void SleepMode();
    [DllImport("micro")] private static extern void NormalMode();
    #endif
