Utter has an off button. Just open the app (the settings app, blue microphone), and make sure you are on the first screen. At the top, beside the microphone, is the off button. This will disable utter until you choose to active it again.

Does the utter work well with Tablet PC's Android 4.4?

Also, do you have a preferred email contact to discuss your product?

When creating a command is there a way to have Utter be silent if the command (opening an app) is successful and only say something if it fails?
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
The developer is still committed. He's taking a break from utter while he completes another app he's been working on. We'll hear back from him soon. He's made this clear in his previous posts on this forum.

NULL message and executing always same command

First of all, many thanks for your great thread.

I have a problem using utter.

Whatever voice command I give, whether it is an integrated one like "set alarm in 5 minutes" or a contact call that I created, I get a short pop up message NULL, and then it executes the last command that I created.

What seems to be the problem ?

I appreciate your support.

Best regards,

Launching shortcuts?

I'm stuck trying to get UTTER to launch a custom shortcut. No problem launching apps, but shortcuts can't seem to be found by UTTER.

Am I doing it wrong?

The shortcuts work from the desktop, but when I ask UTTER to open [shortcut name], the reply is "Sorry but I couldn't find a matching installed application."

Ideas?

(I created shortcuts in order to pass parameters to the launched program via custom URI per the API for the app. The shortcut with parameter works when manually touched. The actual full launch uri I need to pass is,

tpcontrol://?tpcstt-listen

That's all...

I've read the forum messages referring to SHORTCUTS for the last 2 hours, and some similar questions were "answered" with "Use Tasker and App Factory".

However, I see no way in TASKER to add a parameter to the launch URI. I can make a launcher, but not with the required parameter.

Any help?

Plenty of other ideas for root functions (cpu control and 'kill app' for a start), but I'll leave it at that for a sneaky peak for now :eek: and go back to the weather....

Suggestions welcome of course! It goes without saying (I hope), that there will always be confirmation from utter! before it makes device changes using root - It could potentially do some damage if I execute the first voice result returned!

V1.7 - With Root Functions (including normal reboot!)

Hi folks, a few extra bug fixes since 6.5 and you can say 'Android System, reboot' in this version.

If anyone is around to let me know I haven't broken anything, I'll upload to the Play Store!

To let you all know, I'm going to take a break for a few days. Don't really need to, but I think a little time away from my laptop is probably a good idea... I'll just get drunk instead! Sounds like a plan...

That's what i suggested to so many developers, the key is to record your voice and assign to a function, when i speak "call jam"none of the voice engine recognizes my voice and match it, may be my accent is different, thus manually recording a person command and assigning it with a task is the way to work, hope this happens

Time

On time tab, there's a problem when city name consists of two or more words. For example, when you say 'time in New Delhi, India', string returned from google displays it correctly, but (n)utter! will say 'you have to say country or state name after city ...'

btw, boot menu works great.

[Android Apps and Games] bayareajohn:
Thanks, any hint on how to get tasker to open a shortcut? Shortcuts are not on the ACTIONS CATEGORY list, and choosing APP does not show shortcuts.
[Android Apps and Games] tonhuelos:
When you say shortcut URL I am guessing you mean launch a specific web page that you have saved to your home screen? If so save it in your browser as a bookmark then in customization create a new command>application shortcut>bookmark>select the specific bookmark you want and give it the command phrase to open the bookmark selected. That's all. You cant just say open the shortcut on my home screen, the command has to be created. For example, I say penalty killers and utter opens my hockey pool page. Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] bayareajohn:
That's not at all what I said or need to do. It is a "URI" not "URL" that is needed to be passed... an app launch instruction with a parameter, as described. Not a web link.

Among the ways I tried to do this that came close to working was to use the app "URI LAUNCHER" which is the only one I've found so far that allows creation of a desktop shortcut/icon that executes a URI I can actually edit. The shortcut does one thing, sends the URI

tpcontrol://?tpcstt-listen

This launches TPCONTROL if not already launched, and passes the parameter to tell it to listen. The shortcut works perfectly when used manually.

But UTTER does not appear to understand how to deal with shortcuts like this. It cannot be found by name.

And while TASKER is suggested, I see nothing in Tasker that can find the shortcut either. The shortcuts made by any of the shortcut maker apps I have used simple do not appear for selection in Tasker.

@bayareajohn

Have you looked at a plugin for Tasker named AutoShortcut?

When you make a Task in Tasker, look under PLUGINS and once opened, click "configure" etc., and after the shortcut is chosen, I believe you can edit some of it's parameters.

Custom reponses

Okay, so you can customize the command; how about the response? Say for the example above you want the response to be "It's X:00 am/pm" instead of "The time is X." or whatever Utter's current set reply is, can you change it?
[Android Apps and Games] oneoftwo:
Great work on the app, offline voice recognition is indispensable! I've just got two questions/feature requests:

1) Is it possible to have utter! read out the *current* notifications, rather than toggling the announcements? If not, I think this would be a valuable feature.

2) Is it possible to run utter! commands externally, either through app shortcuts/activities or the locale plugin? Since I wasn't able to figure out 1), I was looking into toggling the announcements feature through a Llama action.

error -505?

When I try to install Utter on my tablet I get an "Unknown error -505" message. I tried rebooting and installing again, but the same thing occurs.
[Android Apps and Games] tonhuelos:
I googled it, a conflict when you have tasker and utter installed and are running 5.0 lillipop is what I found. Back a few pages Ben dropped in and said he was waiting to have 5.0 on one of his devices and would put out an update to utter. There is another post a page back where someone else is not able to install utter on a 5.0 device. So I guess the trouble shoot question is: Is the tablet running 5.0? Is tasker installed? If so I think it's just a waiting game. Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] emacsomancer:
The tablet is both running 5.0 and tasker is installed.

That does indeed help. I think I'll just wait it out - utter is much more useful to me on the my mobile phone anyway (where it is working).

Hello. I just installed this and I found out that this app don't listen my commands if I disable Internet connection in device, but app author wrote in description, that it is off-line tool?

Also I have a problem with "call" command, when I am saying "call 911" or "call dad" it dont recognizes this commands.

And I have question - is it possible with this app to say command "Silence" when someone is calling to me, and phone will mute ringtone?

Sound effect help?

Thanks ahead of time everyone!

I can't seem to get the se~ text to work on custom commands. I've tried adding spaces, I've converted the files to .ogg and every time I try to make it work, utter reads it as "se hello1", not playing the sound file. Maybe this was solved earlier, but I can't find the thread.

I was also wondering if I can make utter listen by double clicking the home button like it does for S Voice.

Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
The sound effects work well for me, whether they are ogg, or wav doesn't matter. Do you have them saved in the correct folder?

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

The app works well offline, but you need android jellybean, or kit Kat, or lollipop. You also need to first manually download the language for offline use in your phone's language and input settings. What language are you using exactly? The best way is to start with US English, and make sure all your settings in utter and your phone are set to US English. This works best. I'm using Australian English, which also works very well.

For your "call dad" problem, use the apps function to display on screen what it's actually hearing and make sure it's hearing the phrase correctly. If it's hearing something else, then you can adjust that issue with the 'replace words' feature.

Good luck :)

The problem must be your system/setup IMO since this function seems to be working fine for everybody else. The only things I can suggest is a full system shut-down, including battery removal. If that didn't fix it, uninstall utter, system reset, then install utter again. Hopefully this type of refresh will solve the glitch. Good luck

Google Search "update" may have broken Utter

Hello All!

I'm always checking the posts, just not replying much these days.

This morning I received a Google Search update and it seems (at least on my device) that it may have broken Utter's functionality. :crying::crying::crying:

When I activate Utter I get a continuous "beep to talk sound" that plays over and over and won't allow any interaction with Utter.

I have sent a Message to Ben.

Anyone else receive the new update and are you experiencing the same issues?

Thanks to all.

Problem With BT Headset

I am new to Utter and am trying it after failing with other apps. So far, pretty good. Thanks!

I am trying to use Utter with my BT headset. It is a Plantronics model M50. Things work ok except I do notice one thing. When I trigger Utter via a long-press on the headset button, I hear Utter ask me what I want to do. But when Utter beeps to indicate it is ready to start listening, I do not hear the beep sounded on the headset. I can hear it from the phone's speaker. But if the phone is in a pocket or farther away, I don't hear the beep and so I often start speaking before Utter is ready to listen and I get fouled-up results.

Is the "I am listening beep" supposed to play over the headset? If so, I am not getting it. Any suggestions or work-arounds to this? Is it my headset not playing well with Utter? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Yes I have the same problem!
[Android Apps and Games] racerx002:
Same here. I know the developer is working on another app right now. I just want to state that I and countless others, I'm sure, would be willing to pay good money for this app, were there some updates and bug fixes. I've already donated and would do it again if I didn't fear this app was dying.
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
Bluetooth technology still has a long way to go unfortunately, and can be frustrating, but with some persistence we can stay on top.

Yes, the 'I'm listening' beep is supposed to play through the headset. It works for me. Make sure you have 'auto connect headset' ticked in the power user settings. The best fix for Bluetooth issues that pop up on occasion is to reset the app by opening utter, and pressing the 'off' button at the top off the first screen. Then turn it back on again so that you get the 'self aware' notification. This advice was given by Ben (the creator) earlier in the thread, and though simple advice it works magic.

The other thing to try is a full shut-down of your phone, including battery removal. Manually turn off Bluetooth first. Set utter to Not open when the phone boots . And turn off your headset also. When you turn the phone back on and it fully wakes up, and your apps all initialise, then turn on utter manually so you see the 'self aware' notification. Then turn on your headset, then lastly turn on phone Bluetooth. That worked for me :)

Once you get it all working correctly, it should continue behaving without issues.

Good luck ;)
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Thanks for the rapid and informative response. I tried everything you suggested. Nothing seems to have changed except that it now seems like I don't even hear the "speak now bleep" even on the phone when my BT headset is powered on.

Somewhere along the line, I did try toggling the "mute recognition beep" power setting. But I re-enabled it later. I have even looked at this in the shared-prefs file to make sure that it has been set to false (disabled) and it is.

I even tried uninstall/re-install.

Rats!

I hate to consider getting a new BT headset just to make this work better. But if anyone can suggest units that they know to work well with Utter, I would be interested in hearing about them. Thanks

***Solution to not hearing search beep over bluetooth***

First off thanks for the post, got me thinking. I am a longtime Utter user and experience the same thing but just got use to the fact that I heard no beep. HTC One with Plantronics K100 speaker phone. I fooled around with a few settings with no luck then did this and it works, I get the beep now. First off, make sure in Power User Settings you have the auto connect to headset unchecked. On your phone go to Settings>Apps and find the Google Search app which is just called Google. Uninstall updates. Go to google play and My Apps and you will see there is an update available for Google. Set it not to auto update. That's it, the problem is with google. You should now hear the beep over your headset as long as you do not update Google. Hope this helps.

Note: If you have had auto connect to headset checked the entire time just try unchecking that first and trying your headset. If you still get no beep then proceed to uninstall updates
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
Just googled that headset. Wow! Thanks.

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

Hi. Thanks for the response and suggestions. I will look into them. I have the Google update showing in Play Store (I never auto update anything). I have seen the posts that this things creates havoc so I doubt I will be updating anytime soon. That leaves me with v3.6.16.1614640.arm of the Google Search app on my phone. Is this consistent with what you have?

I have tried Utter both with and without the auto connect headset and as I recall, it changed nothing with regards this issue. But it did change something. I will have to do it again to refresh my memory.

Cheers!

PS - just tried toggling off auto connect and you are correct, I do hear the beep now. And I recalled what else was different last time I tried this - the sound level - even with my headset turned up to the max - was very very quiet. After fumbling around in the system settings on my phone, I was able to up the volume for "media" to the max and now that is no longer a problem. I guess this leaves me wondering what auto-connect is or means and what side-effects other than lowered volume may result from this. But I will keep things this way until I run into a wall (if any). Thanks for the tip!
