Fixed the Waze issue, thank you :good: Puzzled on it thinking you have Foursquare installed though, double checked my code and it shouldn't !?

Thanks for the link. It isn't right now, but it could have been, as I was considering pushing smaller updates OTA. Not any more!

Thanks for your feedback. :good: I will expose a way to turn utter! off and off completely and enable disable the permanent recognition etc very soon. Within the next week.

It really shouldn't consume more than 1% of your CPU time, unless you are watching it perform a command and then it will take everything the device will give it. If you use a monitoring app, such as System Tuner I hope you'll see this confirmed. The only battery drain was due to an Android Jelly Bean bug, which I hope I've fixed. The battery usage should come in at around 1% too... Please do let me know if this isn't the case for you so I can investigate.

The app should only request root access when you open the main application, providing you have accepted the root disclaimer already. If you go to the Power User settings, click on Superuser Permission, but don't allow it, it shouldn't ask you again?

I add Astrid to the list to integrate.

Moving the ads is on my list to do too!!

Can you enable the visual results in the settings and check that it is recognising the word 'call' correctly please. Sometimes the words that proceed or follow other words makes Google interpret them incorrectly...

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

I'm back alive now, so cracking on!

If I've missed any questions, please feel free to ask them again!

Thanks to all of you for helping out whilst I've been off galavanting! :D
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Appreciate your post. I haven't slept for over 48 hours, so need all the encouragement I can get! :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] floridatank:
Excellent work!! I am subscribed. I can not wait to hear and see your progress. Excellent comment by Utter about Siri's limited vocab!

Tasker

I'm also looking forward to getting my paws on it and checking it out. How much (if any) Tasker interoperability are you planning on adding to Utter!
[Android Apps and Games] mikaselm:
soooooo excited! I can't wait :-)
[Android Apps and Games] sheldonsteen:
Wow, this looks fantastic. Can't wait to try it out!
[Android Apps and Games] init_dot_t:
I just want to say thank you for putting as much time and effort into into utter as you have and I know you will continue to do so. I saw a post on twitter last week with a link to your youtube video and my jaw dropped several times throughout watching it. I understand the android community can be harsh and very rewarding but this is amazing and you deserve a massive amount of respect and praise for this! Subscribed and following this very closely!
[Android Apps and Games] CyberpunkDad:
Looks hella cool!
[Android Apps and Games] blast0id:
I have made $150 in pledges here recently, so I'll add you to the list, hope that will bring some more encouragement =) will PM on friday once I'm ready to transact... keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] goander:
Looking forward to it. Keep up the great work. My gift to you...if you wish to use it. :-)
[Android Apps and Games] NZDutchman:
Awesum, you're taking the entire world toward proper voice controlled computers. Looking forward to the release. I know oters are working on simiar projects but it seems to me that you are the furtherest advanced. Well done and keep it up.
[Android Apps and Games] Joey1.0:
Very impressive. Can't wait to try this out.

When adding an alarm. Would it reconigse "Set alarm for 6 hours, wake up"?
[Android Apps and Games] Damobius:
Same here! I remember reading about this a few weeks ago, and today Android Police linked to this thread with a note to keep an eye on it. I will! First subscription for me. Amazing work sir!
[Android Apps and Games] mjm128:
Can't wait to test this out. Things look amazin' so far.
[Android Apps and Games] globed:
So first off, my hat is off to you good sir.

Now, im not sure how ud do this but i know its possible.

There should be an adaptive response option. Meaning it will respond to questions based on previous questions and responses uve given it before. It could delet responses ever 10 or so. I think the flaw with siri is it gives u the same ideal response each time its lifless. UTTER in its self from what i saw does 5 fold what siri will do. Its a url where utter is system integration.

Next i think it would be kind of neet to be able to program words. What i mean by that is program slang for example, ud be programming. How it understands words. Not how it will speak with siri u have to use straigh english and have to talk clear.

Just some ideas. I think the work ur doing is well beyond anything apple and most android devs. CAn put out. So very nice work :) i look forward to testing the application out.
[Android Apps and Games] bigc_13:
This app looks amazing, can't wait for a beta.

Have you considered doing a kickstarter to get the app funded?
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
Subscribing to this so I can download whenever the beta hits. Your work looks great already, and I'm confident it will only get better.
[Android Apps and Games] khatta:
Look forward to utter! ... definitely an amazing preview of this promising app.

If you are accepting donations, please let us know. :-)

[Android Apps and Games] vinylfreak89:
I never saw the usefulness of a personal assistant until now. Utter is simply amazing and so much more advanced than siri. While siri is a nice gimmick its usefulness fades quickly. Utter on the other hand I can see integrating into my life and daily activities.

I think people might not realize how extensive and monumental the work you have done here really is. I'm curious what your background is and how you got so proficient at understanding natural language AI. Like many I have subscribed to this thread and am following you on twitter. Keep up the amazing work!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
(n)utter! Alpha 1.2 up!

Fingers crossed no one can find any bugs! (But please tell me if you do!)

In third post here
[Android Apps and Games] @rj*n:
Thanks A lot brandall :)

How long before the app is uploaded on Play Store? Couldn't wait so downloaded the apk from the post but somehow can't get it to install :/ Hopefully that's only my phone acting weird!
[Android Apps and Games] nevis:
Thanks for the update! Am downloading the new version now! Have been following utter carefully!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
:)

I hope it is too.. Will wait to see if any others report :(

Should be on the Play Store now!
[Android Apps and Games] meadowsjared:
Worked fine for me

Just FYI, I was able to download it from post 3 on this thread and it installed just fine (on my Droid Incredible running and alpha build of ICS), you might try re-downloading, maybe your download got corrupt? :-\
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
Just downloaded the app and am working on checking all the details out

Pow, right in the childhood
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for letting me know... A bit of a relief! I need to grab a few hours sleep before anyone reports a bug and I start trying to solve it! :eek:

I'll be back in a few hours, hopefully to nothing but good news....

Thanks in advance to you all.

It's cutoff because you need to scroll right ;)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Good spot! Oops.

Thanks folks and for the logs via Play - investigating now... Strange that it works on my devices and emulator...

It can only be a limited number of things, so I'll post an apk around this post shortly - If someone could test, would be great - back in 15!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Attached is an quick update - If someone could let me know it fixes the FC on the config Tab please.

Thanks in advance (I run out of thanks meter ones)

EDIT: Download now in post #3
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
Is it supposed to only be 554 bytes? I keep getting an error saying the system couldn't parse the package.
[Android Apps and Games] CarsnGadgets:
Just a bug report...maybe..

Since installing that latest utter on my SGS2, I now get "sorry i cannot access any recent location data for you" when I ask "what is the weather like?"

my gps is on, and all other location services, and maps seems to work fine? any ideas why utter wont access my location?

It used to work fine, and still does on my Nexus 7 (which is using an older version of Utter, I think the last Play store version).

cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I can confirm that this happened to me a couple times....not sure why, BUT when I made sure that Google's Location Service was made active, the problem went away. It most often occurred right after a reboot.

Haven't seen you in here for a while? Obviously you're monitoring :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] CarsnGadgets:
yep still eagerly watching, testing and loving the app :o

I have Google location service enabled though, and have tried a reboot, with no change.

I'll try disabling and re-enabling it.

edit: yep, I disabled and then re-enabled all location settings in the menu and it's working again, cheers.

Permanent Recognition Issues?

I've noticed that when I say "stop listening" Utter doesn't seem to recognize that command? However I can use the "shutdown" command to kill the process.

Also noticed that the Tap to Stop in the Notification Bar will not work either.

I also have times where it doesn't seem to hear me and does nothing and other times where it works perfectly. It seems to happen after waking up and executing a command, then goes back to sleep and won't respond.

When I go into Utter and tap the power button to turn off, it will turn off the "blue" notification, but the "orange" permanent recognition stays active until I tap the icon on home screen to issue a command...once the command is processed the permanent notification icon goes away.

Just curious if anyone has the same issues?:confused:

---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

Kinda weird, but thanks for the quick reply. So now we know!! See my next post about Permanent Recognition...are you having any of those issues I listed?
[Android Apps and Games] CarsnGadgets:
I havent tried any of the permanent recognition functions yet, but I'll report back when I have.

however, I noticed the "where am I" location command is currently not active? is that intentional?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Thanks, and "where am I" probably just needs to be turned on by the Dev. I think in one of his posts he said that most features should be or will be enabled soon.
[Android Apps and Games] CarsnGadgets:
Thanks, yeah,

I thought the where am I function was working previously? that's the only reason I mentioned it, if it wasn't that's fine. ;)

Ben is doing a great job, I wasn't complaining, just thought I had seen a bug.

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
A couple of things:

1) I can't get utter to switch keyboards between Android and SwiftKey. She says she is switching to the closest one, but nothing happens. What's the trick to the this?

2) Permanent recognition: I can switch it on (I guess the ability to customize the wake up phrase isn't available yet?), and utter will respond with "I'm awake" and then perform the command. But then it goes back to just the blue icon. How do you keep it always in listening mode?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hello Bruce7373,

I had never tried the keyboard change, but just issued the command and it worked for me? (I looked at language and inputs) after I issued the command, but nothing there had changed...it still showed my Kii Keyboard as the default..BUT when I went to my texting application and went to type the keyboard had indeed changed!!

I then tried again to set back and that worked as well...I'm assuming you have to issue the command using the name of the keyboard as it appears in "language and inputs". Try That.

For the permanent recognition...make sure you have the latest test build..and say "start listening" and you should see a toast as well as the Orange Icon appear in your status bar.

Lemme know.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Thanks, I have permanent recognition (I was trying to do it manually from settings which worked only once). Now, how do I turn it off, lol. I tap the notification to stop, but it becomes active again at the next (manually initiated) command. I tried "stop listening" and "cancel listening" but she didn't understand.

(edit - nm, I got it. I was saying "stop listening" after saying "wake up" instead of first thing.)

Still can't get keyboards to switch, even saying the exact name listed.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
You might have given me some insight...I couldn't get it to stop either, using the command "stop listening"...so you don't wake it up first or press the Utter Icon...you just say "stop listening" and it works? (been driving me crazy on that one).

Also, you can't get it to cancel from the Notification screen either?

Dunno bout the keyboard though...that doesn't make sense unless Ben needs to add something for swiftkey to be recognized.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
No, tapping the notification works now (I don't know what I was doing wrong before). And, yeah, if recognition is already active, just say "stop listening" (a little counterintuitive -- you'd think she'd have to wake up to get the command).

With keyboards, even trying to switch to the stock android keyboard doesn't work.

And one more thing: I'm running PAC 22.1.0 ROM on my Vivid and "float commands" doesn't bring up that overlay (on my N10 with Carbon it does, so maybe something peculiar with PAC).
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Interesting...I'll try the notification thing again because it just doesn't seem to work for me.

Another user had a problem with float commands and so did I....but try saying "float command LIST"...that should work.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Well, on the N10, "float commands" brings up the overlay. "Float command list" opens utter's settings page. On my phone, both commands trigger a "Here you go" response (so she hears me apparently), but nothing happens. I'm using Nova Prime on both devices.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I'm using Nova too...another mystery I guess. :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Telling Utter to stop listening without activating it first stopped utter with no problems.

If I push the notification icon in permanent recognition on, Utter will respond for an input but stays in permanent mode.

If I start utter and tell it to stop listening from the lock screen, it stopped listening. The icon will remained orange until I unlocked the phone

Funny enough, stopping it this way caused utter to not recognize almost any command ..It also would not bring up the visual results window for any command it claimed it did not recognize.. A bug?

With the phone restarted, visual results is working, but the command success rate is almost nil. I am not sure at this stage whether it is utter or google as the results in the display are garbage.It is as if it is in offline mode, but I have checked and the network is working fine. I have even enabled flight mode and disabled it again with no change. If I say start listening, it returns stop listening every time?? The one command I almost never have a problem with, "Settings" returns "seek" It was returning thing right just before the wake up experiment, so I do not understand why a couple of minutes later it is so wrong. :confused:

Of course it could just be me..I might have forgotten how to speak, but the dog still seems to understand me ok. :silly:

Utter is also crashing after the third attempt at a failed command when the repeat the question is on. Happens every time.

I am trying to get a log of the crash, but system tuner suddenly cannot find any results associated with com.brandall.nutter

Very confused..:confused:

Will try it later today and see what happens, If no improvement I guess I will have to uninstall and reinstall utter.

Will reinstall system tuner first to see if I can get some logs on the crashing first though.. maybe someone else could try setting the try again in settings to "Ask you to repeat" and give it a few rubbish commands and see if it crashes.

update..I cleared utters data and the recognition rate is back good..Still crashes on the repeat the question though.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
:pYAY! I was hoping that someone would have a couple of the issues you just mentioned besides me. So..

1. When it's killed other than stop listening..I give an example (I turned Utter off from the menu...the blue icon disappeared, the orange remained), turned it on, both icons showed up, issued a command the Orange Icon went away.

a. When permanent recognition reenabled, then it would fail to respond to the wake up phrase. After a few fouled attempts, then it would mysteriously start working...but it wasn't consistent even after a reboot.

2. Somewhere, it's holding garbled data or something and gets confused which is probably why it worked after clearing your data.

3. When tapping the icon in notification...it would just reenable itself and I have yet to get it to work.

** 4. I noticed that if you don't say anything and Utter says "I didn't hear any speech", it will cancel permanent recognition but doesn't seem to cause any ill side effects.

5. I have mine set to repeat as well, and just ran it through 6 random questions and it never failed, so not sure what's up with yours.

6. I'm thinking some fine tuning and the permanent recognition will be a great addition.

Thanks to everyone for testing...I really like this feature and think it will be an addition to bring more users on board. I'm gonna keep working it and see what else I can find that might go wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I can't replicate... If you open utter! and go to the Troubleshooting tab, the input box should request focus and the keyboard deploy. If you then say 'Keyboard Android keyboard' or 'Keyboard Swiftkey' does it not switch for you?

hmmm... thanks for the reports :good: but I can't replicate any of them!! Have you recently flashed a new ROM? The reason the crash might not be appearing under the utter! package name, is because it may be a system crash...

Thanks for the reports :good: I've fixed number one and the resulting problems it caused! Thanks for confirming on number five :cowboy:

-----

Do the orientation commands work ok for everyone?

Back later, it's nap time!
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
That's a negative, good buddy. If I'm on Swiftkey, she says something about finding the closest one, but no change. If I'm on Android, she says "Here you go." Again nothing happens. The same results orally or by typing.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Haven't tried, will add to my to do list!

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Bruce7373,

I get closest one too, but it makes the change. Confused?
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Definitely weird. I even switched ROMs on my phone from PAC to CM. But it's not switching on my tab either, which is on Carbon, so it can't be the ROM. (If it turns out to be something dumb I'm (not) doing, I'm gonna be too embarrassed to say so..., lol.)
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Really confused now! It worked flawlessly for me.... wth?
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Sorry..stock standard galaxy s3. Utter was fine and stable until I tried to stop it permanent listening by using the shortcut instead of just telling it to stop listening. No problems with orientation commands..

will uninstall and run the new version an see what happens.. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hey, try that and see what happens. My issues seem to repair themselves and curious to see what you get if you don't mind.
[Android Apps and Games] Robnw:
Oh Brandall, thank you very much! It works like a charm. I've tried a few text messages through my BT and it works perfectly, more or less. A few times initially it didn't hear or understand me but that's also what I got without the BT headset on, so I'm happy for now. I even covered the handset microphone to be sure it was picking up from the headset.

FYI - I'm on CM 10.1 and using a Jabra Extreme 2 with A2DP.

Rob
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Ok..After a clean install..(Folder removed as well) all seems good so far.. no crashing on trying again...:good:

Bit jittery about trying to stop permanent recognition the same way again, :eek:

.have to go out for tea now but will try it later and let you know what happens. :)

I'm chaining a lot of posts here :p but unfortunately I have some bad news...

I have tested the bt recognition but it doesn't work in my car (Audi A1, acts as a headset and A2DP media stream). The phone icon doesn't show up which it does when other apps with the functionality switch audio input stream to bluetooth.

Unless I missed a setting somewhere to actually turn it on...
