A quick post because it's late, but I will do a tutorial of others are interested.

I've been trying to find a way to activate tasker from my car, but as I only have next, previous and play/pause bluetooth buttons I have really struggled. I tried capturing them through tasker and it was far too difficult to get working properly on Jelly Bean where media button control priority is all over the place. Then I thought, what if I could phone a number, and instead of phoning that number it starts utter listening?

So in my car I call the contact utter, and hey presto instead of phoning the number it starts utter. :D

Tutorial coming soon if others would find it useful. I'll then create a full app where you can assign a number and pick any tasker task to run if that number is called. I'm sure people would find it useful.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
This sounds very simple and effective. I've been trying to figure out how to get my Bluetooth speakerphone to work with utter since it has a wakeup command and then a phrase to initiate dialing. This just might be the ticket for me! Been looking for a way to test Bluetooth connectivity.:D

Call2Task for utter!

I have attached the very early, very alpha version of call2task. It works on my one X, it may not work on your phone!

It doesn’t even have icons yet!

To use it, you need to create a contact with a sole phone number. That number must be 003300.

I called the contact 00—Utter!—00 so that it appears at the top of my contacts list, but you can call it whatever you like.

You must have Tasker installed, and it must have a task called “Run Utter”

It is up to you what you put in the task 

Make sure that in Tasker – settings – misc you have allow external access ticked.

I think that is all you need. Open the app. After this, if you call the contact with the number 003300 it should run the task. I have the Tasker task start utter listening.

In the future, you will be able to select one of you tasks, and specify which number you would like to use. I will probably start a background service to keep it running too.

Today I did a bit more fiddling looking at memory usage. I installed a new rom so reinstalled Utter fresh.

From a fresh install Utter went bonkers using 50mb itself. After killing it several times and starting with the widget I got it to settle down.

So its 5mb when started with the widget but 20mb as soon as the settings are entered.

If I switch Utter off in its own control settings using the toggle top right, it removes the icon in the status bar and no longer shows as a running app. however, it is still resident as a cached application using 20mb. kill it here and then start from the widget and it will go back to 5mb.

When entering utter settings, what is the red spinning for? What is it processing? Sometime this can take ages to complete and I think this is linked to the memory steadily creeping up.

Sorry for being boring.

One more thing. I had utter running for over 2 hours at less than 6mb. I just started moving apps to the sdcard and noticed utter usage jump. In entering utter settings the on had changed to green. I think moving the apps triggered it to come on and use the memory but I didn't move utter to sdcard.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I've never once seen a red spinning circle. Maybe for 15 seconds at the most and always green then it stops. I too have seen usage as high as 45-50 myself but not for long. Some of my readings went high because utter didn't understand a command and had nothing to do with the menu so I'm stumped to say the least. Mostly this occurred when utter said something like" sorry, I didn't recognize that command" and that's when I would see a jump. If anyone wants to try and confirm, that would be cool.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Were any of the apps that you sent to SD card linked to utter before you moved them? I'm just thinking it's trying to keep the app linked?
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Mine is a red spinning circle. Could just be based on themes within a specific rom.

Does anybody else have a bug where sometimes utter will stop speaking and only vibrate like it's on silent mode, even though all the volumes are set high? Readjusting the volumes in any direction fixes it again and you can hear utter speak.

When I try to import the file into tasker, I get an error saying that the import failed. Does anyone have a fix for thus?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
You extracted the file from the . zip correct?

You should have utter.prj.xml as a separate file. When you click on that your file mgr should give an option to import to tasker. Also I'm assuming you unchecked beginner mode and checked allow external access?

info and question

i saw a nice program form nuance - DRAGON - it is a personal assistent:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/..._medium=Web&utm_campaign=Download-Button-Main

This Software has a nice feature:

there is a driver mode - where you can weak the application to do something. Your Comand is " Hi Dragon" and the software can something

i dont know the battery dreain ?!

for me it is very intressant to use it in my car and use the micro of the car radio (with bluethose).

Because it is very loud in cars so the micro is the best way to have a good recognisation of the speech.

i think so your applikation can use the micro of an car radio ?
[Android Apps and Games] illwon530:
Yeah, I did all of that. I'm going to try uninstalling tasker and then reinstalling it. I should ha should have done that in the first place, but it just occurred to me.

Update!

Hi folks, just another quick message to say I haven't forgotten about you or your posts. Got JB running on an SII now, so have discovered many more things to fix - head down, hopefully later or tomorrow for the release, then on to the memory fixing!

Back soon!
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Woop! Hopefully all the things previously reported for JB have started to make sense.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
They have indeed! So many quirky differences and the layout all messed up in some places....

Had a quick play with the wake-up-phrase on JB and it's not good news... Google have tried their best to put a stop to the permanent server connection. Found a few interesting things for the offline recognition though :D

Hello, I finally manage to connect to a WiFI powered by Connectify.me:victory: and utter! runs lightning fast:laugh:, so that's mean it's my internet connection speed problem:( not you're app:angel:, sorry for the disturbance :o. Keep up the good work :good:.

"OFF"?

Really sorry for this noob question but, does the "OFF" in the utter! home screen mean really "off"? I mean Off that it does not connect to the internet or use RAM, perhaps? For example I accidentaly click the utter! Launcher Shortcut or tweeks on utter! setting, utter! will not connect to the internet or starts its process and consume my RAM. I'm just consern for my balance, really hard time getting them.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Turning Utter OFF removes it from Running Services and will make the memory that was once held by Utter available to other services, apps, etc. So in essence the answer to your question is Yes.

It you tap the Icon then Utter will become resident again, waiting in the background.
[Android Apps and Games] Febryan_Uchiha:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Really good app, but it takes too much ram...
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hello! Can you share your ram usage please? If you notice in the thread it has been an issue and developer is making a priority to look at in the next couple of days.
[Android Apps and Games] Febryan_Uchiha:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

It's around 40-50mb
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Okay, that seems right about where others have seen too. We've noticed that if you restart the device and DO NOT access Utter's SETTINGS, your memory will be significantly less, hopefully somewhere around 6-10 MB and then it will be easily usable. We think the problem with memory occurs after accessing the settings menu. If you wouldn't mind, it would help if you gave it a try.:)
[Android Apps and Games] Cossack101:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

You shouldn't need to restart the device. Just going to settings, manage apps, and running apps and stop all the parts of utter. Then check its not running in the background also.

Then restart with the widget and utter will use about 6mb and less than 30mb including all other processes and services.

I found that if you switch utter off in its own settings it will still be cached. Kill this bit and restart with widget also works
[Android Apps and Games] tilleyrw:
Command Question

Why are there commands for creating a calendar event but not for checking said schedule?

"What is my schedule?", "What is my schedule tomorrow?", nor "When is my meeting tomorrow?" return anything. The first two are straightforward queries of the calendar and the latter is merely a search of the morrow's calendar for the word 'meeting'.

Perhaps these exist and I can't see them in the command list.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

They are not there yet. Remember this is beta and the developer has a few bugs to work out before he gets back to the basics.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Hi, not a noob question at all, a valid one - The answer is that it won't connect to the internet or use your data - I've got some fixes in the next release to make sure it doesn't do ANY background processes - including collect your incoming text messages - that will mean 'read my last text' won't work though when you turn it back on.

Next but one release, the app is going to handle the RAM better on its own, rather than waiting for Android.

When you look at this figure in running services, can you confirm what it's made up of please? The app is connected to Google Voice Search (GVS) and your voice engine of choice - IVONA can be 15mb+ and on the SII running Jelly Bean, I've had GVS initialise at 30mb!?

If you then add utter!'s own usage, you'll get quite a high amount collectively. Working on this for the next but one release...

You make it sound so easy! It's high on the list to do - next but two release probably....

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

Still working away on the latest beta - Spotting so many Jelly Bean issues that keep holding me up... 8 things left on my list!

Just looking back through some posts now to see if I've missed anything - will address all the memory usage ones after this release is out.

Thanks to those helping out with answers in my absence, really appreciated :good:
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
The app is detecting when new apps are installed - I assume the trigger is also broadcast when their location is moved. It's shouldn't have turned on as a result though.. I'll check it.

New problem added: utter! gets turned on too easily :D

Are you using the 'Force Google Now Voice' option? I've noticed that if the network connection drops this will just come back with 'nothing' rather than letting the app know that it failed.........

I'm working on this, out soon hopefully!

Did you get this working? Do you have Tasker set to beginner mode in the settings? I wonder if that prevents imports?? Just guessing.....
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I like the idea of this, ingenious! I'll have a play next time I allow myself a break...
[Android Apps and Games] illwon530:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

I want to create an action that will allow me to play and shuffle an artist through rocket player. Currently, when I tell utter! to play an artist and song it plays the on screen rocket player instead of the app, which will only play that one song. I want it to play all songs by that artist and shuffle. Is this possible to do? Or is there another media player I can use that will make this possible. I want to be able to use this while driving so that I don't have to play with my phone while I drive.
[Android Apps and Games] trein91:
App works just fine. It's nice to finally see a voice assistant that works in the background. One thing though, the wave to wake feature should be made easier. It is really hard to trigger (only got it 2-3 times in the hundreds of times I tried). Perhaps a configurable setting for this would be good. Btw, a good reference for this feature would be "Robin" a voice assistant (mainly for driving) that has a good implementation of the wave to wake feature.

Another thing is the visual results. With several interpretations shown, it would be nicer if you can tap on the alternative dictations (useful when it misinterprets you).
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Unfortunately it doesn't quite work as intended un my car. The car phone system takes over, and I can't hear utters response until it stops, so it works if I put in an 8 second delay before utter starts listening. Not really practical. I will probably still develop it further for others use though.

I hope you've been able to work on the voice activation. Looks like this will be my only solution.
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
This is an awesome app brandall!

Can I request support for GONEmad media player pls.

Also, I haven't been able to find support for media controls (play, pause, forward, back) in Utter! Am i missing something?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

If you're playing media, how will it listen?
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman_jkh:
By:

a) tapping an icon/button/widget on the screen,

b) using a gesture on the screen (ie: 3 finger swipe down),

c) using the proximity sensor to detect the hand being waved across/near the screen,

d) using steering wheel controls to trigger Utter! to listen.

So, there's a few ways at least ;)

(I've also noticed that Utter! pauses/mutes the audio output when it goes into listen mode)
[Android Apps and Games] Sardac:
This looks amazing. But does the app also say "Yes Master"?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
It will say whatever you want. Just say "call me (then whatever you want)", so if you said "call me Master", then you would have it.;)

i sent this to feature requests but not sure if it went through so im posting here too

custom voice command for custom url with custom keyword

e.g. speak: search food dot com pumpkin pie

would open food.com/recipe-finder/all/pumpkin pie

user sets url with keyword identifier %q

e.g. food.com/recipe-finder/all/%q

user sets custom voice command

thanks for considering my request

Re: [APP 2.3+][V2.2.9] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Hi brandall

I am an avid user of your amazing app Utter. I use it daily for a variety or reasons, one of my personal favourites is the Customization with responses.

I sent you a suggestion by email but thought I'd voice myself here as well. I'm using Google Search/Voice for Utter's voice, and want to set Utter as my "Search Key" (or menu) but with Goggle Search, Google Now and Search won't stop appearing.

Can you add a feature in to set a long press Menu, or Search key, to activate Utter? I can't change the voice engine so I need to keep Google Search/Voice.

Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated!

offline speech

I'm sure this has been rehashed over and over again, but I just wanted to put it out there, again. The nexus 7 has offline speed h recognition capabilities... Is there any way this can be integrated into utter in the near future?. It would really be effective for simple commands and should be easily implementable..... It's just that Google search commands would now be unavailable.

Or is there an obvious problem?

At first I was thinking " not another voice command app" but damn, I didn't realize that with root and creating your own commands this thing get useful and quick.

Definitely subscribed and thanked. Eye balling this one closely and will keep playing with it.

My test will be if I can keep it on all the time and still get solid battery life.

You should get great battery life but using the menu will create a memory leak. If you use the menu then kill the app and restart and your usage will be minimal. It really is a great application.

Hi! I've been using utter! (without Tasker) for the past few days now. I am amazed by how much work and dedicated time that has been put into this app. I pretty much just read all of these posts and am going cross eyed as I text this:o

I was hoping that someone here could guide me in the correct way to have utter read my last text message. I've tried the commands and tested different ways of saying it. I've used the "test command" as well, but the response is pretty much, "I don't appear to have any message data". Any work around for this?? I'm running stock Android 4.1.1 on Galaxy Nexus.

I also found out, quite by accident, that when I was configuring WidgetLocker, pressing the hard Search button on my HTC Vivid would open a menu offering WidgetLocker Tools, Google Search, and Utter as options. I chose Utter to be the default thinking that would be that.

When I exited out of WL, I discovered that a short press of the Search button would still bring up Google Search, but a long press would bring up Utter. Best of both worlds. :good:
