I'm having a mental block about how to set up the autovoice/bluetooth thing. I've made several attempts, but can't seem to make it work.

I'm trying to configure the following:

1. When I tap the NFC tag in my car that puts my phone into "car mode", Tasker will start an "utter! bluetooth autovoice" profile

2. utter! will start in permanent recognition mode

3. I will be able to speak and listen to utter! through my car's bluetooth connection

4. I will be able to issue a command to utter! to play music with Pandora

5. When the phone rings, utter! will ask me if I want to answer or decline

6. When I receive a text, utter! will ask me if I want it read

7. When I receive an email, utter! will ask me if I want it read

8. If music is playing when any of the above three events occurs, Tasker will pause the music and resume playing afterwards

9. As described in the above post, be able to start and stop with Tasker permanent recognition mode when needed, i.e., when certain apps initiate

I realize that it will take some time, but if anyone has the expertise and inclination to provide me with instructions, I would be very grateful.

Bo xperia doesnt have its own voice recognition.

I use JAYS Headset to app launch Utter quick launch when I double tap the pause/play button on my car stereo. This will pause any music that is playing and Utter will listen for a voice command.

Only problem I have with this setup right now is after Utter is done listening, my music will resume and I can't hear Utter speaking back. My navigation will reduce the music volume for directions with no issues.

Your Quote-

Would it help if I say that I am in asia and google voice data may not be available here. Google voice search 2.1.4 wasnt available here so I installed it through an apk.

It could be related to the above I guess? I really don't know.

Only thing I can think of now is go to the app homescreen and click on Send Feedback. You can put a description of your problem there.

** There will be a report below that will show your phone info...see the attachment.

Can you share that with a screenshot or just type it in? Curious to see.

EDIT-I did some searching on line looking for something Experia related-see the 2 Screenshots and more specifically the "settings" under "Language and Input".

I am using a Sony xperia z with stock firmware (Australian stock through Telstra), I noticed that although I had the option for downloading offline voice data, the offline voice search never worked. I have since downloaded the IVONA hq app and Amy UK voice data, for some reason I can now use the offline voice without a data connection. Don't know how this fixed it but it worked for me. How this helps in someway.

[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Hey folks, thanks for all of your posts and those helping out with answers.

I'm going through the posts now - loads of them!

I can't replicate this? Tried and it applies the wait times I set?

If you go to your Android Volume Settings, is anything on mute or zero? I don't know if Google have removed the beep in a recent update, they don't share these things... Still there on all of my test devices though.

The app scans your music from the music database on your device. Could you give me an example of the music file you are trying to play please, with the name and file type and where it's 'stored' ?

Thanks for your post. You can say 'enable driving mode' for now with utter! to switch this on. For more specific conditions, you would need Tasker or maybe Llama to do this for you externally.

It depends on many factors for how often I'm having to work around bugs with Google Voice Search and your device. I'm working on another method cutting Google out completely, but it's not working great at the moment........ I'm sure I'll get there though.

Agreed - I need this to be a Setting - It's on the list!

Glad you've got it all sorted! Intrigued to know how much this kills your battery starting from boot and using all of the time? Also, what about data usage (assuming that it's started in online mode)?

'Ducking' the audio when utter! speaks has been on my to-do list for WAY TOO LONG! I'll get it sorted for the next release.

Thanks for sharing the Llama set-up, I'll add it to the Tasker Plugin guide and probably rename that too! :good:

I kill wave and shake when the screen goes off. It's a manufacturer implementation as to how long the sensors are continued to be monitored once the display is off, so to save any discrepancies, or battery drain, I just close them both....

Thanks for reporting this. I think you are probably using GoSMS or maybe Handcent? Handcent has an option to lower the priority in their Settings, so it shares the text data. GoSMS doesn't.... Let me know if that isn't the problem.

I believe there is no way to do this, as each music player stores their playlist files in their own directory. This is why I can't easily add this as an option, as I need to code for each and every music player out there. It's so frustrating.... would be such a simple standard Android inclusion.... *sigh*

Tasker Plugin - Update

An update on the Tasker Plugin for you.

I've had to ask the Tasker Developer to include a feature for me, as the conditional plugin code that's supplied is hugely over the top for what I need. It involves unnecessary background services to tell Tasker the 'condition' of something - whereas I only ever need to tell Tasker there is Voice Data available.

I've posted it on the Tasker Devs forum and can only wait to see when/if this makes his to-do list.

Thank you for all of your Tasker posts. I think regor99 is correct though. There are so many things you may wish to do with the voice data, that I would be reinventing the wheel to configure these in utter!

Instead, I'll be just passing the full list of voice data to Tasker and I'll write a tutorial on how you can search the list, manipulate it and/or just look for specific 'triggers' and 'parameters' within it, to trigger your tasks.

I'll probably do a YouTube video too, just to make sure it's super clear.

So, waiting on the Tasker dev........ Fingers crossed.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
This will be in the next release :)

Not yet I'm afraid... Left that kind of stuff to Google and went for what they didn't do in the development. It will be included as some point though, as soon as I've sorted out an external company to design the UI integration.

Thanks for this. Pretty much what you suggest will be there in the end. Once I have my long overdue website, it will have a user login, different setup settings for each of your devices, sharing of commands and custom phrases etc etc. Really wanted to have got to this stage already, but I'm working on it........

I've found some pretty good code source now to handle more headsets and profiles. Not sure I'll get it in for the next release (as the code is huge), but it will definitely help when it's included!

---------------------

Folks, if I've missed your question or your are stuck on anything, please don't hesitate to repost. :good:

sound effect syntax

I'm trying to add a "yawn" sound effect (which I downloaded in .ogg format from the web) to Utter's response of the 'wake up' command. I must have the syntax wrong though because when I say "wake up" Utter responds "se~yawn, I'm awake." All in speech no sound effect. Can anyone help me with this?
[Android Apps and Games] Spark1223:
This is awesome, once this thing gets to final versions, it's gonna be like J.A.R.V.I.S. from Iron Man. It's going to make Siri look like a relic.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
First, try replacing the "yawn" with one of the sound effects from Utter's library and see it that works.

You might also try removing the "," after the sound effect.
[Android Apps and Games] abledan:
Strangely neither of these efforts seem to work.

Yes you can do this very easily. First download AutoShortcut it is free from the google play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autoshortcut&hl=en

secondly you must have a music player capable of taking advantage of AutoShortcut and you have some choices. I use PowerAMP but if you would like to use a free player I believe Winamp will do it.

Third. Use Tasker to access AutoShortcut which will connect to your Winamp playlist once you've created a playlist.

It is pretty much just that simple.

You need Tasker, Autoshortcut and a Music player that supports autoshortcut such as Winamp or PowerAMP.. probably more players support it though I only tried with those. All 3 are available in the Google Play Store.

It's very simple to do but if you run into a issue message me and I'll get you up and running.

Speech server error

Hi, Utter! seems to be a great app...except i cant get it to work. The moment i switch off net and press the voice button it says "what can i do....and all that" and then immediately says "there was a speech server error". I installed Ivona, cleared cache and restarted but still doesnt work. Appreciate any help...thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Noted! You can't use sound effects on the wake up or custom response at the moment. I'll include it, but it will be slow on some devices....

Thanks for sharing this :good: You've given me an idea of how I can do the same! :good:

Could you try a reboot and then send yourself a text please? Can't replicate on my S3....

Have you installed the offline speech files successfully?
[Android Apps and Games] Leavard:
Firstly, thank you for Utter. I've just started using it often and I'm really enjoying it.

I have two questions:

1. I use Llama rather than Tasker. Is it possible to run Llama events from Utter?

2. Is it possible to get Utter to press play on the music player? Specifically I want to be able to get Utter to start playing a podcast in Beyondpod without me having to get my phone out of my pocket (through Bluetooth or headphones). I can get this to work through Llama if 1. is possible, and I know I can do it though Tasker, but I'd rather not have two different automation programs running if possible.

Thanks for all of the good work, keep it up!

Nevermind misunderstood your post...
[Android Apps and Games] solarbaby:
I know I wasn't very helpful but I do use that feature every single day in Tasker and it was a very easy thing to setup.

If you decide to re-write your Llama tasks into Tasker I believe you would be future proofing yourself for better comparability and power user configurations. 3 months ago I made the tough choice of deciding which Automation app would be better for me and I must admit picking the most difficult one was a hard choice to make but it was in my opinion the only choice that made sense in the long run. I'm willing to help you out if you decide to switch over.. just keep in mind that I'm still new too although my library of Tasks are growing very fast now :)

I might have found a bug.

I was using Google voice search when I received a gmail notification. And of course, utter started dictating the notification. However, the dictation was also caught by Google voice search and my notification got added to search.

Just wanted to let you guys know.:):)
[Android Apps and Games] Leavard:
I have played around in Tasker before, but I just like how Llama is set up. I guess I can run both for a while, or just get Tasker to do my Utter stuff.

My notification bar is getting awful crossed now though: Llama, Tasker, Utter and Utter permanent recognition :)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thank you. Are just the Google Voice SMS not being detected? That would explain it, as I don't have access to those. Standard SMS should be collated though? Let me know!

:D I think that one is unavoidable... In the early days I could make the app have a 'conversation' with itself... It's not possible to check if another app is using TTS or Voice Search at the time, so nothing I can do about this one I'm afraid...

If you're running Jelly Bean, you can select which icons to show in the Android Applications Settings - Also, there's a way to remove the blue notification of utter! in the Power User Settings if you really wanted to... Might make it not work properly though!

Hi all loving this app.

Currently I'm trying to increase utters! Interaction with Llama but having difficulty with creating commands to Llama's events.

I go to create command,

select launch activity,

select Llama,

Long press on Llama(.LauncherShortcutRunnerActivity) to bring up configuration

I need to put "LlamaType Event" and "LlamaData EVENTNAME" but not sure which fields to use.

I have tried inputting the above into Optional action and optional data with various ways but have yet to figure out which one will call the event.

At best I can get utter! to open Llama on the last viewed tab.

If anyone has managed to get utter! To interact with Llama can you please let me know how you went about it.

Thanks in advance.

Secure Settings & Voice Input (must be Rooted)...I think?

Good morning to all!

I stumbled across something this morning and have used it effectively with Utter & Tasker

I have an app called Renotify which places NOTES in the Notfication Bar on your phone (basically for quick reminders)

Anyway, I wanted to make my note using voice & skip typing so this is what I did (I'm mentioning this because it may give a lot of you flexibility in your tasker & Utter tasks) looking to pass info to an application(that requires input)-

1. I created a task to open the application Renotify

2. I put a pause of 2 seconds for the app to open

3. In secure settings I selected input method and chose "Input Method/Google Search"

4. I named the task "quick note"

Creating the custom command in Utter making it whatever you want and issuing that command opens the application followed by the google app to begin speaking, which then types your command into the application for processing.

** You might have a notification come up (keyboard icon in the Notification Bar) and in the notification area to select input and that would be "google voice typing". Once that's done, it should be automatic after that.

Hopefully this makes sense
[Android Apps and Games] Giot:
Ohh man, you just gave me ANOTHER thing to add to my increasingly long list of tasker/utter commands. I am pretty sure I am adding things to the list about 10x faster than I can cross them off. Looking forward to adding and testing this capability though.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Cool! Let me know how this works out.

It just kinda hit me you know, but it seems to work well for those apps that require input. Not perfect, but maybe we have an idea to build upon.

Hi GL Davis

^^

I have Secure Settings but cannot find Input Method for Google Search

How exactly did you do that in Tasker ?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Are you on a Rooted Device?

Just thinking now...I also have the PRO version for Secure Settings...maybe that's one of the options?

**You have to install the Helper for secure settings and then you'll find it under the section HELPER ACTIONS

Thinking back...I should have posted this with more info....Darn It!
[Android Apps and Games] kashortiexda:
Fixed, thanks it was that Helper was not installed after I updated my rom
[Android Apps and Games] kashortiexda:

Just for fun, I tried to do the same with Variable Query and AutoNotification (instead of Renotify) and start the task using Utter...

Works well and you can personalise the notification :)

Now just gotta figure out how to get several notifications separately/simultaneously

Bit OT, sorry, but maybe some ideas in here somewhere

[Android Apps and Games] mangoHero1:

[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
You downloaded your offline voice files, correct?

1. Please go to the settings on your phone, and look under Language & Input (Is Google Voice Typing) there and have a checkmark next to it?

2. Also, turn on Airplane Mode and when you issue a command what happens? (make sure you issue a command that does not require an internet connection)...like "settings" for instance.
[Android Apps and Games] mangoHero1:
Yes, It has a checkmark next to it.

When I use it it says "I've lost the network connection."

Nice find, this has the potential to fix a problem I've been working on (see earlier post).

They have to go in the Extra Data fields, but I don't seem to be able to get the syntax right. I'll keep playing around and report back later.
[Android Apps and Games] Leavard:
Here's what I have so far:

I think "com.kebab.Llama.RunShortcut" needs to go in the "Optional Action" field;

Extras are inputted as colon separated values: so llamatype:event and llamadata:EVENTNAME.

I can get Utter to call to Llama but it just gets a black screen for a second and still doesn't run anything.

I can get Tasker to call to Llama using it's intent action, so it definitely is possible.
[Android Apps and Games] GTurn:
Forgive me if this has been addressed. I have a ZTE Avid with ICS. When I try to set permanent recognition on it just keeps beeping. I can say wake up between the beeps and utter will respond but it will still be beeping. After about a minute it stops beeping but won't respond anymore until I deactivate and reactivate it.

Google Search working perfectly and recognize all my words but Utter isn't working for me ;/

It doesn't recognize any of my words - i said "What's the time?" and every time answer was "Sorry, can't recognize it" (or something like that)

Is there any chance to make it working? Google Search working perfectly..
