not sure but when I installed the app it did that always (I think), it even happened today but i didn't have it installed, just rebooted and it worked... I will try installing again and if it happens again I will try a reboot!

UPDATE: Seams to work right now, just re-installed, I will update of any glitches revolving around the voice typing sounds/ "beep"

and just to clarify again, you sometimes have the problem too where it doesn't "beep"?

and a suggestion for the app would be to have all the commands you can do in Google now (when does the sun set etc)

Music wont play (Play Music)

Hey everyone! I'm back..... Ive been using the app a lot more now with the talk to wake function but today when I went into Google play music I could not play any of my songs, so I uninstalled and I could play my music just fine(local music im in Canada)... anyone else have this issue? It it known?

Thanks!

Any way to make this read off a system check ie: battery, network, memory, ram ext.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
You can ask utter about your battery level, temperature, health, status and voltage; but that's all as far as i know.

what you could do is to have a Task in tasker that reads your system info from variables such as %WIFI (on / off) or %WIFII (the status and network SSID).. If you look into Ben's tasker alarm (link in his signature) you'll see that it reads some of the system info such as ram, battery level, etc.

Taking that as a guide, you could create a similar task in tasker that reads the value of the needed variables and use Utter's "Run Task..." command to run said task only. Maybe Ben could add it as a feature in the future, but i don't think it's as important as other stuff he's working at.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
No sir. At least right now. You can check some things like Battery Temp, Battery Status and so forth.
[Android Apps and Games] xdasnapper:
Hello Utterers. Is this still the bottom line (no way to backup my custom commands)?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Nope, not within utter at least. But if you use titanium backup or something similar, then you can backup apk data and that will save your info for you.
[Android Apps and Games] xdasnapper:
Excellent. Thanks for the tip (and the prompt reply).
[Android Apps and Games] mahootzki:
Sure is.

I've been testing it on my rooted EVO with aokp ROM and no issues.

Hmm can you share the command you used to turn WiFi off? Tried with deactivate WiFi, turn WiFi off, and power off WiFi, no success... :(
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
Do you have a time line or road map of development?

I know core functionality as well as pounding out the bugs and kinks is the backbone of the alpha stage but What will make the app shift from alpha to beta?

Pow, right in the childhood

Crashing on ICS 4.0.3?

If (n)utter is crashing for you on start-up, I can't replicate, so I'm guessing at what the problem may be.

Attached is an altered apk - I've change the code in the Home Tab only - so other tabs may still crash for you.

For now, if you could let me know if this stops the app from crashing at startup? If so, I'll alter the code in the rest of the tabs.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I'll be back to answer other questions when I've solved this!
[Android Apps and Games] efreese:
Brandall - great work so far! I'm using rev 1.4 on Asus eeePad Transformer with ICS 4.0.3 just fine. Some comments:

1. My tablet doesn't have a mobile data plan, so shutting off wifi is essentially a self-lobotomization. Is there a way to check for a data plan and have utter issue a warning to that effect?

2. When working with time, it might be useful to add the "i" icon to let the user know they have a calendar event coming up (early notification since they asked for the time).

3. I have seen others ask for more conversational, even emotional, aspects in the communication. You might want to look into AIML (artificial intelligence markup language) for some ideas on how you might implement a subset.

EDIT: just installed the startup crash fix version and it also seems to be working.

EDIT2: using IVONA Kendra
[Android Apps and Games] shadrach47:
This apk you attached fixed the startup FC. Was able to load the first tab but others closed, like you said.
[Android Apps and Games] 99problemz:
Well after numerous times of trying the voice command for wifi and and failed on every attempt I figured out what my damn issue was. "Android System Turn wifi on" u idiot! LOL im such a noob. Works flawless for me no fc's
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for letting me know, that's a relief!

Could you possibly give me some more information please - Which voice engines do you have installed? Is it just the standard pico that comes with ics?? Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] shadrach47:
I have Google TTS, Pico TTS, and IVONA TTS.

Voices tab doesn't FC but just does the loading symbol at the top. Don't think it's loading the voice.

Config doesnt FC till you try to select a TTS.

The rest FC when switching.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks - What is your default tts engine set to? If you have a moment, could you change the default in the android tts settings and then see if you still get the same behaviour.

I think google or pico is failing to return the standard engine information requests. EDIT - In some circumstances, as I can't replicate...
[Android Apps and Games] shadrach47:
It was on IVONA, I changed it to Pico and everything seems to be working.

Edit: after I changed it, I can change the TTS setting for all 3 in the app and they all work. Must of been a weird bug, maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] philburkhardt:
+1, same here. Wifi only Transformer, so I lose functionality once the turn off wifi command is successful.
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
So...um...don't turn WiFi off? It's not like utter! forces you to do it. That's just the first setting brandall coded for us to test is all.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thank you - I really appreciate you adding your Edit too as I was baffled as to how it could be IVONA causing the issue... I've tested the ass off that!

Well, at least I can identify how to work-around whatever is causing it.. Prompting a user to go and change their default engine to something else and then back again isn't ideal, but I can't think how (n)utter could be the cause of this - I'm just using the standard engine calls.... So I'm going to blame google!

Anyway, thanks again, at least I can get it working for now!
[Android Apps and Games] shadrach47:
No problem, it seems to be running fine now, tested the wifi and everything worked.

Tried IVONA with wifi and the voice detection took forever and didn't read what I said. Left the app and tried again, it worked. Do I need to do more then changing the radio dial for tts in the app to change the config settings?
[Android Apps and Games] philburkhardt:
Um yeah, nice try. I was referring to what happens when issuing the current test command. Pretty sure the app is being tested so that brandall knows how it is interacting with different devices. Wifi only devices are pretty common now.

Don't try to act like someone is being stupid for telling the dev how the app is functioning. Your comment was pointless, and completely unhelpful.

Edit: ...and if you took the time to read the comment I was quoting, you would see it was a request for a warning of some type letting the user know they are shutting off wifi, and in essence Utter. I wasn't going "oh my god I issued the command and now my wifi is gone, wtf".
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
If you had read the thread, you would have noticed that this had already been brought up and discussed.

At this point, utter! basically repeats everything you say, so it already does give a warning that WiFi is shutting off.

I wasn't telling you to stop testing or anything like that. I also didn't mean to point you out singly. Of course you're going to test the WiFi commands, because that's all there is to test now. Once the app is fully functional, though, the easiest solution is to just not tell it to turn WiFi off.
[Android Apps and Games] efreese:
wifi only devices

guys, really?

I mentioned the wifi issue only because brandall had mentioned dropping back to his mobile data plan and wanted to remind him that that was not always an option.

Also, if you look back in the threads, you'll also see that, at first, it wasn't obvious why some people couldn't turn wifi back on. If it's not obvious to XDA people, will it be obvious to some general user who doesn't understand the inner workings of how voice control works in Android?

As I see it, this would be a great tool, if it prevented people from doing stupid things, or at least made sure that they really do want to do the stupid thing they asked for. For example, this wifi scenario might be worthwhile even to those with a data plan, but happen to be in a cellular dead zone at the moment, and therefore do not have a fallback in place. I'm not sure if an app can check for that, but it would increase the useability of the app.

Keep up the good work brandall!!
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
I think I just wasn't understanding you clearly. Like I said, utter! already says "You asked me to turn WiFi off, so that's what I'll do," or something to that effect. But I guess what you're really asking for is that if utter! detects no cell service, then it should say something like "You asked me to turn WiFi off, but you should know that I won't be able to hear anything you say until you manually turn WiFi back on," or something like that.

That's my mistake for not understanding you.
[Android Apps and Games] philburkhardt:
...and to clear up anything I might have stated incorrectly. That's exactly what I meant. I didn't mean to imply losing the connectivity was an issue, but maybe just to issue a warning, pretty much like what you said there.

Sorry for any misunderstanding that came from my end.
[Android Apps and Games] johnnywayne28:
I will check into this tasker alarm, I am loving this app so far but I want to try to go full si-fi status read out kind of like iron man.
[Android Apps and Games] Adizzzle:
Has anyone made a master command list, as in lots of commands?
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I may be wrong, but i think that so far is not possible to back up / reimport custom voice commands. There is however a user made-up list of intents, which can be used as a guide if you go to Utter / Customization / Create command and choose an Activity as target for your command. However, this is dependant on the apps you have, and as of now, it won't work with those that need "Extras" to be sent to the action (Ben is aware of this and will fix it when he can)

Said list is a work in progress, so it would be useful that anyone who has used Utter to send intents would contribute to complete this list.

I hope this clarified a bit how things are right now, as the only "master list" of commands is that built-in the app itself, when you open it and go to "Command list"
[Android Apps and Games] Adizzzle:
I'm sorry you misunderstood me completely. In the customization menu of Utter is an 'import commands' and an 'export commands' button near the bottom.

I was merely asking if someone with an extensive list of custom commands, has exported their commands, and shared it with others, so Utter is preloaded and ready to respond to more things?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Good morning!

In answer to your question no. There is intent to setup a server for items just like this amongst others but not yet implemented.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I did not misunderstand your question; i know you meant something related with those options and so I clarified that the import/export commands you mention are not meant to back up Commands (that is, those created in "Create commands"), but just the "replace words" list you have created. To make it a lot more clear:

You have an option to Replace Words that is mostly useful when you want utter to understand "Master" as "My sad and very much impossible to pronounce in english name" (just an example) or when you want to use "Turn off bluetooth" instead of "Toggle bluetooth".

When you use the Export commands, you're really only exporting these replacements, which are very far from being a "master list" of commands, as they'd only be alternative ways of saying the same commands utter already provides OR making it easier for utter to understand some things you might not be pronouncing correctly in english (or can't at all). A good example is replacing "utter" with "your own interface", so that you can say "open your own interface" and it will be taken as "open utter".

Edit: Okay, i have just re-read your last post and you say "so Utter is preloaded and ready to respond to more things"; I'll take that what you want is to utter to respond to things like "Turn off bluetooth", "Activate bluetooth", "Prepare to share through bluetooth connection", "Initiate Bluetooth", etc. in the same way it would if it heard "Toggle bluetooth"... If this is what you want, then no. I don't think anyone would waste time on preparing such an extensive list, at least in the near future, because it would be a really heavy load of work.
[Android Apps and Games] Adizzzle:
Well if that's the case I'll start creating as many commands and responses as possible as to help the future cause!
[Android Apps and Games] jsgraphicart:
This app is great. This is the most elaborate voice assistant app I have seen. And the fact that it uses Google Now's natural sounding voice makes it even better. I just installed it and only played with it for a little while but from the looks of your video, it does a lot of stuff. I can't wait to see how I can use it in my day to day life. Great work.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Glad you like it!!! Our developer does a great job and it's only going to get better!

Make it a great day!
[Android Apps and Games] JokerAce:
Hopefully that ability to play sound effects for custom commands will be added soon!
[Android Apps and Games] JokerAce:
I noticed that sometimes utter changes it's voice, from female to male. Anyone had this?

New user of utter! btw :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] gbossley:
It's there Joker...you just need to load your sound into a target directory, and reference it with prefix in the custom phrase, example is shown when you go to Custom Phrases command. This can be found in the Customisation menu,
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Have you guys discussed Missed It! and utter not playing well together? Just installed MI and it complains that it can't properly register in Accessibility (too many or conflicting apps). If I unregister utter, MI then registers. Will I be missing anything not having utter registered (other than announcing notifications, which I really don't need)?
[Android Apps and Games] JokerAce:
Oh that I know. However we were talking about custom command not custom phrase. Cheers!

Missing in Action?

Okay, a person has to ask...Where's Ben? He's been noticeably absent for quite some time. I hope he's not ill or something. :(

Maybe he's hunkered down in a corner somewhere writing code?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Funny! Actually he is hunkered down writing code! He just returned from vacation and as he said to me just recently "I'm on fire, writing code and everything working well".

So..... Stay tuned!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I'm still alive folks! Hunckered down getting the next release ready...

I'll post it on here before the Play Store, as there are a few new features I'd like you to test first please!

Sorry I've not been around to answer posts... Been away and since my return I've kept my head down coding like a maniac to get the release ready. Should be within 48 hours!
[Android Apps and Games] Adizzzle:
Thanks for the update my good sir!
[Android Apps and Games] guy4jesuschrist:
I keep checking back every now and then to see if you've had any recent posts, haha. Welcome back! Will anxiously keep an eye out for the next release. :)

[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
Master GL Davis and many others have been doing an outstanding job in keeping the questions answered, so I don't believe you need to be neck deep in the day-to-day stuff here.

It's just nice to know you're alive and well. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:

Thanks for the compliment, just trying to make Utter! THE app that everyone wants and needs. We're all here for the same reasons. We like it and it works, so guess that's it.

Hope you've been well sir!

utter! + automagic + permanent voice recognition

Hi, good day all.

I'm trying to use command:2 (invoke permanent voice recognition) intent via automagic instead of Tasker. I much prefer Automagic and will not turn away from it. (I'm a novice re: programming language if even that)

I'll explain what I have tried so far, hopefully someone can lend a helping hand.

In Automagic I have tried "Start Activity" and "Send Broadcast" Action Types.

I'm making some progress with the "Start Activity" Action where my...

-ACTION TYPE = "Start Activity"

:eek:-ACTION = "android.intent.action.SEND"

-Explicit Component Checked...

PACKAGE NAME = "com.brandall.nutter"

CLASS NAME = "com.brandall.nutter.EIH"

EXTRAS =

"putString(command, 2);

putString(password, mypassword123)"

The ACTION results in a toast "utter! password failure for external application", it looks like the command is registering, but the password is not.

My utter! POWER USER PASSWORD = "mypassword123" literally, to make things simple... that password worked for me when invoking command:2 in Tasker. I've tried different alphanumeric passwords in utter! as well.

In other words I'm trying to set the data extras in automagic to "command:2" and "password:mypassword123", but, Automagic forces ";" and forces "putString" prestatements, if that makes any sense.

It looks like automagic has all intent Function, Variable, and Snippet options ie: putString, putBoolean, putFloat, putDouble etc.

How can I get Automagic activate the permanent voice recognition function in utter!?

It would be great to just be able to have some kind of activity shortcut to turn on off voice recognition instead of this, or just have it boot with phone boot. But I'm definately not complaining as utter! is free and very good!, thanks!

:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Never used auto magic, so I'm afraid I don't have any guidance.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I haven't used automagic before but is the Action neccesary? the one that says android.intent.action.SEND i mean. as in tasker i don't add an action because i think (though i don't know if it's like that) that it might mess up the intent, and it works well anyways so i leave it like that.

I don't think the putString makes any difference though, it might just be a way the app says itself it has to add an string, and it's not like it actually sends that bit in the intent. Maybe typing "password:" and "command:" instead? If the app lets you do it, i would delete the commas and put it like "command:2" and "password:mypassword123", but that would be if the "putString" actually put the string like that. I can't come up with anything else really, so if my advice is not helpful, you should ask to Automagic developer about how to send this kind of intent.

The only thing i can say for certain is that Send Broadcast is not the way to go, so you're good while using Start activity.

Edit: I'm guessing you tried using just "command:2" and "password:mypassword123" so i'll make clear that what i advice is using "putString(command:2); putString(password:mypassword)" and try that way.
[Android Apps and Games] goodtom:
Sorry as I didn't follow this thread closely and may have missed some great features such as Offline voice controlled and stuff...

It would be great if [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] can make a update video to brief the app again.. as the youtube video was uploaded in Nov 2012 which may not have all the great new features :)
[Android Apps and Games] dragon1313:
RESOLVED!

Thank you all for your efforts to try to help me! The great people at Automagic have replied to me (very quickly I might add) and have resolved my problem.

So for those of you who wish to control the permanent voice recognition of utter! via Automagic, here's the solution...

"Hi,

Your configuration almost works, only the extras field needs some small adjustments:

-ACTION: doesn't matter

-Explicit Component: Checked

-PACKAGE NAME: com.brandall.nutter

-CLASS NAME: com.brandall.nutter.EIH

-EXTRAS:

putInt("command", 4);

putString("password", "test");

It seems that utter uses an int for the command and not a string so you have to use the putInt function in this case.

The first parameter of the putInt and putString function needs to be a string, therefore the key has to be put into double quotes otherwise it would refer to a variable with this name.

Please also see the help page of action 'Script' for a description of the scripting language:

http://automagic4android.com/en/help/components#action_script

Utter also offers a plugin which can be used in Automagic with the action 'Plugin' but I'm not sure if utter allows to control the same functions using the plugin.

Hey guys, is there a way to turn off the mic when playing music from Google play music?

it keep cutting off the music and dosent do this in YouTube or any other app with audio....

Thanks!

Also does it in Smart Audiobook player
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for all of your support as always folks and again for to those helping out on here whilst I lock myself away from the world and write code!

I realise I've missed the last 20+ pages and I'm really sorry about that, I just can't keep up with everything..... But, the good news on that is that I've got some gems coming to you very soon! I'll tell you all more soon.....

To answer a couple of the very recent posts:

I was actually scripting this yesterday, as a tutorial/feature video is definitely needed. I'll have to dust off the video camera!

Glad you solved it and thank you for returning to share the solution with us! I've been meaning to contact Automagic about integration for a while - I'm glad they helped you.

I assume this is only happening to you when the Wake-up-Phrase is active? It's a Google bug that's the underlying cause, but don't fear, I've got a solution in the making.

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

Just about to do the write-up for the test build! Coming in about an hour! :D

EDIT: I just wanted to apologise again to those that may have written feedback and suggestions whilst I've been away and I've not replied to them. I will take a lengthy coffee break at some point and read them, so your time won't have been wasted!
[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
Oh my god! Wow wow wow! I'm so excited to try it! Thank you so much [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] !!
