Just watched your youtube video today. VERY cool !! so how do we get the wolfram thing? I donwloaded the beta off the play store and it does not appear to have that.

also the "KEY" thing a program like this needs is CONTEXTUAL search. ie using keywords so you don't have to be precise about your commands.

ie what is the weather like in philadelphia tomorrow.

tommorrows weather in philadelphia

what is the weather tomorrow in philadelphia.

they all have the needed "keywords"

Weather (what I want)

tomorrow (when I want)

Philadelphia (where I want)

it should not matter how I "package" them so to speak.

or is this a google thing? I notice google now is pretty "loose" about command structure. are you accessing a different system? or doing it natively?

when I say did the eagles win their last game for example utter says I am sorry did not understand that

when I say the same words to google now it pops back with the results and says no they lost to the redskins 31 to 6

I can also say how did the eagles do in their last game and it works as well.

ie google now appears to be doing a contextual search on the keywords it pulls from what I am saying.

is there a way to make utter do this? ALSO the TTS engine that google now (and maps any anything jellbean) uses is far superior and natural smooth sounding.

how do I use that same TTS with utter ?

google now is fantastic. but its not as personal and fun as utter could be and it can't do many "local" things its mostly stuff online it does. utter has a lot more potential than that.

the trick is #1 TTS how do I change that utter sounds like crap (no offense) while google services sound amazingly smooth (utter actually sounds like the same TTS engine my S2 uses now that I think about it ie the old google tts engine)

#2 contextual keyword results so it does not matter how we say a command it will "get it" and give the desired results.

attached is an MP3 the system would not accept an mp3 so I renamed it .zip just change the extension to mp3 and play it.

also is their a way to eliminate the "beep" after the command ready word or to "CHANGE" that beep with some other sound file?

Congrats

Hi Brandall,

Congrats for going beta and there is an article on Android Police....:cool::good:
[Android Apps and Games] premsrj:
Congrats brandall.. Utter is more terrific than ever. This is going to be huge. We'll be with you in every step of the way.
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
Congrats on the step up to beta stage... it seems like utter is progressing at a very fast rate... seems like yesterday you released the pre alpha framework testing with all features not functioning.

I'm glad to have been part of this app every step of the way :D
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
You can force the Google now tts, look in settings.

Subscribing.

Are you planning to use built in speach recognition for other languages? German is of particular interest to me.
[Android Apps and Games] Blurrix:
Brandall, congratulations on hitting beta! Watched the video and loving the progress!

I've been away awhile, busy with work etc. :p Hopefully I can do some testing on my tablet and phone in the December holidays. Good to see plenty of people supporting your project, hope everything goes well.

Google now is the past, and Siri is just a joke :p
[Android Apps and Games] Freshman79:
Hi Brandall, nice App :good:

Can you also please add the German language ??

command "note to self"

It is a few days that I am trying to work with, but I still have some understanding problems and I am jelous of the youtube 22 minutes video , because i cannot repeat the commands of that video. Please give me a few explications how to configure perfectly

1) I am Italian, for that reason I first tried to use Commands in US , after In UK Language and Italian , as language for emails etc., the google voice machine never recognizes my actual spelling and mixes in the visual results italian and english words 1? is this a configuration possibility?

2) After, I changed and all over I considered as language UK english , in android , in native recognition and Voice engine, and I was able to add a few personal commands that show me that he Voice engine understands my spelling, but till now only 20% of the commands are recognized with my voice (i always thought that my english was not so bad)

3) I would like to implement a simplest command "note to self", could you please tell me how to manage it? If I choose the create command , I can <compose one email> but without <to> and without <message>

thanks

Wave to Work

Anybody has an idea how I can "Wave to Wake".. I know the Dev has already answered the query on page 146 or thereabouts, but I still can't figure out the "rhythm"..

Of course it's not a big issue. I use Shake to Wake and it works flawlessly, but just curious about it..
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Sorry!

Folks, a lightening reply as I'm absolutely inundated with emails and bug reports and struggling to keep up - gotta try otherwise I'm going to get swamped! I don't know how many downloads I've had of the beta, but it must be a lot judging by the number of emails I'm getting!

I'll return later when I take a breather and reply to all of your questions. Despite how submerged I already am, please do feel free to use the power of social media and share the video about! Would be great to get it trending on YouTube.

Back later, sorry!!!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I too have not "discovered" the rhythm...I've attempted on like 3 different occasions and haven't found it yet. It uses the proximity sensor and well, each phone I'm sure is going to be different. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] beddess:
Been trying out the beta. Having one issue with web searches...

The visual results show it recognizing "search kindle fire" also some variations and "candle fire"

But utter says it can't decipher that command. Is it just balking on not being exactly sure what I want to search?

Also it seems like you can just set a reminder by saying "in x minutes" I'd like to be able to set a reminder for an exact time.
[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
You may not be saying the commands correctly. Try saying "Search Google Kindle Fire" or "Search Bing Kindle Fire" or "Search Yahoo Kindle Fire".

You can also say "Commands" to get a list of the commands to see how to say them. I created a replacement phrase "Search for" replacing the phrase "Search Google" so I can more naturally say "Search for Kindle Fire" (it will then search Google for whatever you are looking for)

Hope that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] beddess:
Ok, you're right, just needed to add in saying Google too.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
The exact time and future time/date is on his to-do list. For now you are correct, and that could also be said "set an alarm for 1 hour and 30 minutes called "whatever your want", ie:Dinner with Bessie the Cow.
[Android Apps and Games] CarsnGadgets:
That'll learn ya...lol

I have been posting about Utter on every forum and by ever method of social media I could think of :laugh:

Your video has some great comments on Youtube already.
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
Ben, great work! The updated video is awesome. I mean, I've seen the old video, and I've been reading this thread, so I knew what features were there, but even so, seeing this in action had me saying, "Damn!" a couple of times.

I've been slacking on my testing because I've been busy, so no bugs or quirks to report now. I just wanted to stop in and say good work and congratulations.
[Android Apps and Games] dragonflyr:
pop up question

awesome app!!!! thanks so much!!

quick question hopefully someone can answer .... not sure if i enabled it or not ... but, how do i make the "popup" go away when getting results from a voice command?

i can't seem to locate this option in the settings. there were no "popups" at first, but now there are.

thanks!

NEVERMIND ...... found it: "visual results" under settings.
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Turn 'visual results' off
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Utter on YouTube!!

I have watched the video 3-4 times and now took the time to read the comments. Ben...by jove, I think you've done it!!!!! The reviews are awesome and I hope that Utter will soon be the premier app for downloading on Google Play.

Congratulations and here's to your continued success!!!
[Android Apps and Games] RCranium666:
Great job. Two things I'm interested in. Can you turn off the voice and only have it beep? Also, I have yet to find any voice recognition app that can play a specific song. I tried "play moody blues, blue world" and no joy." I tried several variations as well.
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Put visual results on and make sure it is being recognised properly. Could also be incorrect ID3 tags on the audio file if it doesn't work with a specific song.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Look in your Command List. To play a song you have to say "play + artist + track name" for Google Music.

Just remember that utter is command specific right now. Try that and it should work.
[Android Apps and Games] IAmAN00bie:
Hey, brandall! I know you are probably very busy with all the e-mails you are getting, but I hope you get around to reading this.

For Android 4.2, you can directly add widgets to the lockscreen! I've been looking for a solution to directly place an utter! shortcut to the lockscreen (I used to use WidgetLocker for this, but it isn't as nice as the stock lockscreen anymore) and I found the best solution is the simply bake the support for it into the app.

Apparently, what you need to do is the following: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.2.html#Lockscreen

I hope this is something you can eventually get around to doing, as I know that 4.2 doesn't have that many users so it isn't a critical feature. I would be glad to test it out on my Nexus 4 if you do happen to provide support for it! Launching utter from the lockscreen would be a neat feature.
[Android Apps and Games] ttamirt:
Great job!

Thanks for the Beta release, it's working great, Brandall.

I've been pressing the 'Thanks' button as often as I can (every time I see your post). Sorry about not mentioning your name on one of my previous posts. :)

- I've just installed IVONA - Kendra. She seems lil bit slow. It takes a 2, or 3 sec delay to start her speech? Does any one experiencing the same?
[Android Apps and Games] Blurrix:
Yes, that is normal. Takes a while for 3rd party voice recognition apps to start. Google's own voice engine is the fastest in response.
[Android Apps and Games] leolulz:
Hey!

Been trying out your app for a couple of hours now! Loving it so far.

Anyways i got a problem. It says spotify isn't installed. When i go in Linked Applications it only says Install spotify, but i already got it installed. The thing that happends when i press it, it searches on Google Play and says it can't find the thing you're looking for. Maybe wrong package name or something?

I hope you understand what i meant, was kinda messy there...
[Android Apps and Games] morg01:
Try a reboot?

Or if Spotify was side loaded maybe try clearing your playstore cache and then reboot

[Android Apps and Games] leolulz:
Just tried all of that, still no success :(
[Android Apps and Games] mahootzki:
Maybe try uninstall and reinstall Spotify.

sent from Brooklyn NY using a Galaxy S lll
[Android Apps and Games] leolulz:
Tried that aswell.

Anyone else that can try to click the link in ther utter! application and see if it finds spotify on your market? :)
[Android Apps and Games] RoboJoe:
No, you're right. Clicking on Spotify brings you to a broken market link. Good catch.

Anyone know how to authenticate Google music? I put in my username and password but I do not know what the third box is for.
[Android Apps and Games] PromaneX:
This is by FAR the best voice control app I've ever used, or seen. I've got it set up so I can set "wake me up at 6am" it sets an alarm, dims the screen, displays the desk clock and says "goodnight" awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
You should only need enter your gmail address and your password and press Validate. To play music stored on your device, say "play" plus artist and track name. To play music stored in your google account (not on your device) you can say "stream" plus track name.

hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] RMXO:
Hi,

thanks for an awesome app but I was wondering if you plan to make more ways to activate it? With shake to wake, it activates a lot when its in my pocket on the go. Wave to wake, isn't reliable & I have to wave a lot in an attempt to get it to activate. Is it possible to activate via press home key twice like how u can with s-voice?
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Hi,

You realize that you can adjust the sensitivity of the shake to wake by saying "set shake to very low (or low/medium/high/or very high)" very high being the least sensitive.

You can also have the shortcut on your home screen by opening the main app and hitting Launcher Shortcut or Custom Launcher Shortcut.
[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
Also, under the settings is a Wake-Up-Phrase listing. Although it's not functional yet, it appears to be in the implementation plan.

If you have Tasker installed, few pages back paustin provided instructions on setting up a task to pass your finger over the proximity sensor while your phone is facing up to initiate utter! I tried this also and it's all I use now. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34288647&postcount=2147
[Android Apps and Games] HunnyBearLewis:


My favorite way to activate utter is to Long Press the Search hardware button and choose utter as the default action. Of course, that info is only useful if you have a Search key like the Sensation (my phone) does. Then a simple long press anytime after that will instantly activate utter.
[Android Apps and Games] ddlooping:
Hi all :)

I haven't add a chance to try utter! yet (a bit of a problem setting it up) but it looks like a powerful and fun tool. :cool:

Congrats to you, Brandall. :good:

My bit of a problem: when trying to link "Play Music" I get a "there was something wrong with the structure of your account details" error message. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] westhaking:
I can confirm this also. Brandall has confirmed to me through email that this will be fixed with the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] ddlooping:
Thanks for the info, westhaking. :)
[Android Apps and Games] iLingaraj:
Hi Ben,

The wave to wake doesn't seem to work on my phone. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Raj.

utter! version-2.2.7B

Model: GT-I9100

Manufacturer: samsung

SDK Build: 16

Release: 4.1.2

Root access: true

Voice Search: English

com.google.android.tts

--------------------
[Android Apps and Games] westhaking:
Got this to work. I made sure to put @gmail.com after my username and left the third box empty. It then authenticated.
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Hi,

I too have a GT-19100 and have never got the wave to wake to work..Brandall says that it is just a matter of getting the timing right but I have yet to do it no matter how I wave. :crying:

I tend to lean on the theory that it is something to do with our phones.

I have tried paustin's tasker method ( http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=2147 ) to wake the phone using the proximity sensor task and have no problems with that. so not sure what the problem with the wave to wake is.

For now all I can do is say keep experimenting with it as in theory it should work.

Sorry I can't be more helpful

Good Luck. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] guy4jesuschrist:
That sounds really cool! Care to share how you set utter! up to do that? :)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thank you - I'd put a random comma in the package name! Oops. Fixed for next release.

The random third box shouldn't be there! Thanks - fixed for next release. Will put a 'hint' in the username box that the @gmail needs to be included - had quite a few messages about this.
[Android Apps and Games] RoboJoe:
I'm running 4.1.1 and haven't ever seen Utter! force close.
[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
I have not seen any force closes... 3 devices (GB version 2.3.6, JB ver 4.1.1, and JB ver 4.2) . Is there a particular set of conditions that users report when this happens?
[Android Apps and Games] ddlooping:
I probably won't help but I do include the @gmail.com when I receive the "there was something wrong with the structure..." error message. :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
Running CM10 with 4.1 on my tablet, and I haven't seen any force closes.
[Android Apps and Games] FizzyBum:
Does not play well with the Irish accent :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for confirming - taken a closer look and it's 99% Galaxy Nexus with 4 other reports for ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T & ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T. I might have to head over that section and see if I can get some users to come over and test once I've sorted a fix.

The bug report on Google suggested it affected all devices, but that's doubtful now from both your reports and my stats.

So annoying to have to go and put a 'blank space' in front of the begging of every new paragraph!!! :( How could they not have caught this in testing..... :confused:

Thanks for letting me know. Can you double check for me that there's no white space at the end of the address and password and if you don't mind me asking, are there any unusual characters in your password that I might need to consider? Thank meter +1 waiting!

Doh! I'd be interested to know if this improves for you quickly, it should do... If you can be bothered, enable the visual results in the settings and then run through some of the commands in the list. If the visual results show the same mistakes every time, then you can enter these in 'replace words' under customisation. So, if 'turn on bluetooth' keeps coming back as 'turn on cue hoof' then put that in the top box and the correct command in the bottom box - it will link it then.

I'd imagine after you've done three or four of these, it will start working normally... Thanks meter +1 waiting!

I really need to be able to offer better incentives!

Right, bugs... damn you. Here I come...
[Android Apps and Games] ddlooping:
The first thing I made sure of. :laugh:

I often use the php "trim" function in my web-apps, to avoid that type of errors. ;)

8 alphanumeric characters only. :)

Nothing unusual about my email address either: dandy[dot]summer[at]gmail[dot]com, with the "normal" dots and at obviously. :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
You have... it's called utter! :)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks - I was wondering if the trim was failing for some random reason... hmmm... very puzzled. Are you using the top two boxes, leaving the random third box empty?

I'm only validating that it's not null, not blank and the username contains @ ... It should pass the test if that's so... :confused:

Ha! I suppose that's a good point!! :D
[Android Apps and Games] ddlooping:
I only have two boxes. :confused:

Edit: My bad, I do have 3 boxes. :o

Yes, I do leave it empty.

I've found the "bug"!!!

It's actually not a bug. :laugh:

I was using the 3rd box to enter the password, thinking the 2nd one was a label. :eek: :o
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Problem solved! My bad for adding in a random box! Thanks for confirming, I shall gladly tick off the bugs list!

Is it possible to use this when in silent or vibrate only profile?

I've tried it a few times, I get the text greeting pop up but no vibrate notification to say it's ready to listen to me. If I than ask it something, it doesn't hear me. (Doesn't give an error, just doesn't do anything)
[Android Apps and Games] darklordkk:
Oh yeah,, I definitely gotta do this. Indian accent is pretty much a hit and miss with many commands, especially the ones where I ask it to load a particular App.
[Android Apps and Games] eisenbathb:
I have the galaxy nexus and I just ran utter on 4.1 and 4.2 but no crashes
[Android Apps and Games] PeglegJones:
Silent mode

I would like to know that also. Shake to wave is too sensitive. Would like it to run in the background until I give a command if possible. Great app! Learning new uses all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for reporting this - I did have the voice react to the device being placed on silent or vibrate, but I got so many requests saying the users preferred to manage the volume with the media stream - so I switched it to that and built in the volume controls of 'speak louder' etc.

If you increase your media volume to the minimum, does it then start working again? It should work in 'toast mode' only, when it's turned off though... Let me know what you find, thanks.

Glad the customisation is making it usable for you. Have you tested AT&T in the Recognition and Voice tab? I'm really impressed with it, so would be interested to know how it works for you?

:good: Really appreciate you doing that. It's really odd, I have 69 force close reports all from the Galaxy Nexus...

You can adjust the sensitivity - 'set shake to very low/low/medium/high/very high' - Hope one of those works for you!
[Android Apps and Games] CJHolderUK:
This is amazing. Got any future plans yet? Open sourcing or Play Storing, certain price in mind? This is great. Also, does it remember different names for different users? :)
[Android Apps and Games] mushtafa:
Thanks, got it. It does work in silent and vibrate mode, as long as the media volume isn't muted. I'll keep playing.... :cool:

(NEWS FLASH) WAVE TO WAKE

I could not get wave to wake to work SO using Tasker and Secure Settings I made a profile.

CONTEXT is PROXIMITY SENSOR

TASK is to launch Utter's LauncherShortCutActivity using Secure Settings LAUNCH ACTIVITY.

Now when I run my finger OVER the sensor Utter will activate.

Especially useful since some apps use the search button on your phone for their own purpose.

It works every time for me and will work if you wave too, but the rhythm /distance from the sensor takes practice.

I wish I could get the sensor to wake the device but if so I would think it would activate in a pocket for instance.
