Installed the updated utter great job but still waiting for the location profiles would like to set profiles for stores when I'm shopping to remind me to get things that I forgot to make a list of example let's say during the week I think of some things like light bulbs or dog food I would like utter to say something like sir I see that your at "xyz" Here's a list on things you wanted to be reminded of

That would be a great improvement to utter

The latest he posted has fixed the constant beeping when the listen mode is on. But I found another interesting thing with that: While playing music through my BT headset, the music would pause every 3-4 seconds, while Utter was listening, I suppose. Had to stop it listeneing in order to listen to the music.
[Android Apps and Games] ColdmGds:
Can anyone confirm that the reason I can't set up a new reminder/calender entry/event is because I don't have google calender set up?

Or am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Just dropping in quickly for some lightning replies!

Hey Gary, hope all is well in your world! I'm considering killing Google Now after a certain amount of time, so I can restart the recognition. They don't play well together otherwise.....

Can you give me an example of the exact command structure you are using please?

It should work with any calendar, so it must be how you are structuring the request. Always good to know what I've missed!

I'm going to enable the location profile test on here in a few days. It won't work exactly how you want - without boring you, you'll be able to assign locations to a name - like Home. Utter will then check everything in the vicinity (Wifi, bluetooth, cell tower, GEO location) to establish when you are there and perform actions when you arrive.

What it won't be able to do (for a while) is accept unknown locations - Such as 'Remind me to try a vanilla latte next time I'm in Starbucks'

^ To continuously monitor and attempt to match such locations is tricky and would probably end up being crap!

Thanks ewingr - That is coming in this release :good:

Can you provide a web link to your headset please? They are all working so differently +OS Version +Device. I'm getting quite a collection to investigate the problems!

I'm afraid there is nothing I can do about this until I stop using Google Voice Recognition.

It's 'ducking' the audio when the speech recognition starts, which is sending a command to all other apps to pause :(

Actually, I nearly finished my own (offline) version of the wake-up phrase about 4 months ago, but just haven't had the chance to release it on here to test, because I can't keep up with everything! Perhaps I'll make some time soon...... Somehow :cyclops:

Thanks for your support folks

Next test build out in a couple of days

Thanks Ben, using the Jabra Cruiser 2. http://www.jabra.com/products/speakerphones/jabra_cruiser2/jabra_cruiser2

Actually found the issue got worse with the new build so I uninstalled it and went back to the one at The Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thank you. I meant to ask for your device and OS version too please!

[Android Apps and Games] ColdmGds:
Thanks for responding.

Basically I've tried everything in the command list relating to a calender entry or setting up a reminder.

Saying just

"New appointment"

"create appointment"

"New calendar entry"

"create calendar entry"

All greeted with "sorry but I couldn't structure that event"

So when I give the whole spiel in one go like "new appointment tomorrow 9am doctor", it opens up S-planner and adds the time, but doesn't actually say what the appointment is and doesn't save it. Essentially it just opens up s-planner and says "there you go"

Thank you :good: It's a new bug where the voice data of 'a.m.' is causing utter! to think there is a separate, new sentence after the '.'

I'll fix for the next release! :good:

Great! looking forward to the update!

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Thalarse:
I have had a minor issue for a little while: Utter tends to ask me for my query in one voice, usually the male british voice, and then speaks the answer to my query in the female british voice - which is the one i have selected. As far as i can tell the settings all line up. But other than that, Utter is a brilliant program.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for reporting this. If you go to your storage and the utter! directory, then Files/Synthethis/Google and delete all files in there, it will stop it happening for now.

Unfortunately Google in their wisdom, didn't identify their male voice differently to their female with the same locale, so I'm currently stuck on how to resolve this long term *sigh*. It's the same with high and low quality downloads - I can't tell the difference...

Utter! errors with alarm and a call

1. Anytime I try to use the alarm its horrible. I cannot set a timer, but I can set an alarm for "x" minutes. However, it always ADDS 1 minute to the time. So if i say "set alarm 15 minues" it says "its done" and then sets it to go off in 16 minutes. This happens everytime.

2. Even worse I can not set an alarm. It doesnt matter what day and time i say when I say "set alarm" , IT ALWAYS sets the alarm for Monday at 6pm.

3. If i say to call someone, and there is only ONE number for them, it still asks "do you want me to call "x" on their mobile?" when thats the only number to call. why do they ask????
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
1) Android adds 15 minutes to the current time after rounding up or down to the nearest minute - If it rounds up, it will toast 16 minutes, but it may only be 15 minutes and 1 second until the alarm is activated.

I can't alter this behaviour I'm afraid.

Timers for Android 4.4+ will be in the next test build. They allow precise settings of hours, minutes and seconds.

2) Android allows alarms to be set within 24 hours only - If you attempt to set them for more, utter! should announce this? You need to set a calendar entry instead.

Perhaps you could tell me the exact command you are using and I'll check why you are not getting this information as the response.

3) Erm, you're assuming that it recognised the contact name correctly.....? If it didn't and the incorrect contact only had ONE number, would you like it to begin calling them immediately? Probably not......

If utter! is very good at recognising your contacts and this is not a concern for you, you can remove the confirmation in the Settings [Confirm Before Calling].

Hope that helps

Hi, This icon still appears in my statusbar. The orange one does but the normal blue one doesn't. Which is fine imo, just letting you know.

You know what I would like to do?

I'd like to create a shortcut or task with tasker to toggle the "Announce notifications" option. So I can switch it off discreetly without having to say the command to my phone or open the app and go through the settings.

Would this be possible [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] ?

Is there a way I could do it by sending an intent in tasker? Like the command:2 for the permanent recognition?
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
Can I take this idea one step further?

Concept...

What if?....there was a shortcut...

Press it and a 5 toggle panel floats up!

In this panel, for example, you can toggle (on/off) up to 5 features from a user choice, list of 10 or so...eg...

1) permanent recognition

2) Announce Notifications

3) 4) 5) etc

@brandall

I did some quick BT testing on my SGS3 ICS 4.0.4 Stock rooted using an old Motorola H390 BT ear piece on both the latest Beta and the previous test version of Utter.

- clicking BT button starts BEEP through phone spkr, no voice prompt, but my command is registered fine through BT.

- starting the prompt from a phone gesture has the same results while connected to BT.

Quick question...on the header of the Utter UI, it has what looks like a POWER button icon near the right side. It doesn't seem to have any affect? But I did notice, at an unpredictable time (it's happened randomly once or twice), when my programmed Gesture did not trigger Utter (using Gesture Navigation) that clicking this POWER button did have an effect of waking Utter back up to a responsive state.

- I don't use permanent recognition so I haven't tested that part.

UPDATE: It seems that exiting the app's UI via BACK BUTTON, can disable the ability to use my gesture trigger. I reproduced it, and then clicked the POWER icon to re-initiate it, then exited with the HOME button. Should this POWER icon have an on/off color indicator?
[Android Apps and Games] boojew:
Love the app! Anyway to disable adds? I would be very happy to dish out a few bucks to get rid of them....

Hi thanx for update... my iasue is... okay google wake up command works offline only... but not working when connected to net... need help pl...
[Android Apps and Games] tonhuelos:
Thanks for keeping up the communication. If you can figure out the bluetooth operation obviously that would be great as that is when you really use an app like this. You've done some great work and it is much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
There isn't currently, but there should be....... See below.

Thanks for your testing, it's appreciated. Your first suggestion of having options, is something I'm hoping to get time to build in to this release - I'll be using the permanent notification, which when expanded will give you some toggle options you can press.

The Power icon in the ActionBar shuts utter! down completely and clears the memory. It will only restart if it is 'woken' with an Intent. That might explain why the swipe no longer works, although, if that sends and intent, utter! should really wake up.....

Google don't send the beep via the headset, I've no idea why.... Once I've finished the update to this release, I'll spend some time on the headset support - I've got a few more coming in the post!

All I know is that if you connect your headset, then turn utter! off and on again with the button in the ActionBar, sometimes it seems to bind better. However, I've noticed in 4.2+ it's starting to throw an error *sigh*

Thanks :good: I might put this in the next release - Depends how stable it is!

Well that's a first! Normally users can't get it to work offline... What happens when you have a network connection?

Thanks :good: Hopefully I can make some improvements for this release

I should have a release with the calendar announcements out tomorrow - "What's my agenda for today" etc....

Almost there in phone setup for Mom except answering

Hi there,

I'd really appreciate any help on this one. I have an HTC Sensation that I am trying to set up for my Mom who was recently partially paralyzed. My goal is for her to be able to make and answer calls without pushing any buttons on the phone. Here is where I've got so far:

* Installed ShakeMe app so that when she wants to make a call, she doesn't need to press the power button but she is able to use her hand to shake. This seems to work intermittently.

* Installed Auto Speaker so that when she wants to make or receive a call, it's always on speaker phone since she can't hold the phone to her head. This seems to work.

* Installed Utter. So far it works for her to say "Wake Up", then "Call my daughter", and it is automatically on speaker phone. What I cannot get to work is to answer a call by saying "Answer", or "OK" or "Answer the call". When the phone rings, the normal HTC incoming call screen shows up, Utter doesn't say anything, and doesn't respond.

Does anyone know what I'm missing here? I even tried uninstalling ShakeMe and AutoSpeaker and using Utter alone to see if it would work, and it doesn't. Some setting I'm missing, maybe? Thanks again in advance.

"Okay google" command not working in permanent recognition when connected to WiFi... working when not connected to WiFi...
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Glad it's proving to be some use for your Mum - I wish I could do more to help disabled users, but Android is very locked down for security reasons, when it comes to controlling the screen.

Just checking, in utter/Advanced Settings/Accessibility you have Announce Caller ID ticked?

If so, when a call comes in, does just 'nothing' happen?

If so, do you have utter! enabled in the Android Accessibility Settings?

Let me know.

hmmm... Does 'wake-up' work? Do other commands work? I had one user whose WiFi router settings where blocking the Google recognition URL....

Thank you for your response, and for your app! It's going to change Mom's life.

So now we're getting somewhere, and it starts with me announcing I'm a fool! I didn't realize you could swipe to get to Advanced settings. I've just set Announce Caller ID, and now it will announce the call, and ask if I'd like to Answer or Reject. When I say answer or reject, nothing happens. Sometimes when I test, I see the notification bar say utter is reading... Iistening... fetching... computing... But then nothing happens. And other times I see nothing in the notification bar. Out of 15 or 20 call tests, I got it to recognize Reject once. But not Answer yet. (I've also tried OK and Answer the Call.) So, definitely closer...

[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
[MENTION=5834989]abigail99[/MENTION] [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION]

For me, with my SGS3 stock 4.0.4, to get the option to answer/reject calls by VOICE, I have to go to: settings>Language and Input>Voice Command For Apps and enable it. I'm not sure if that's a Samsung thing or ICS?

Although I don't use this feature, it was a bit finicky when I tested it a while back. I can't remember exactly, but if I said cancel, or hang up...or something...it recognized it as ANSWER! It scared me! I just didn't want to risk ever inadvertently answering the phone and not even knowing it. I will re-test this feature in upcoming versions.

Also Ben, in Accessibility settings under Services, often, Utter is listed as OFF! It seems random and probably consistent after a reboot. As a crude workaround, I used Tasker to detect when Widget Locker is unlocked, and then to place the Service setting to "ON". (even if it's already on)

Utter! does plenty to help this disabled user, Ben! :good:

In addition to it's "out-of-the-box" uses, Utter! used in conjunction with Tasker, a Homeseer system, Global Cache ITACH IP2IR, I can control my lights, fans, TV, DVR, and computer (wake on lan), all by voice. I use it on both a tablet and phone. I use Utter! daily. It has become almost indispensable!

How to use offline?

Hey, can somebody tell me how to use utter offline ? Whenever I turn data connection off it says that it has lost network connectivity. Some help here please.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for your feedback. I've found that 'answer' and 'reject' are rarely detected correctly by Google - Don't know why. I can only suggest you say 'yes yes yes yes' or 'no no no no' and see if that works? Let me know :good:

I think this may be to do with your processor - I think I've corrected that issue for the coming release and it should be ok on the test build too - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52006891&postcount=6084

:good: Or the test build above ^

:good: The Voice Commands For Apps you mention is a Samsung thing - It might work better than utter! though, as they can use some system functions that would make the process a lot smoother... :rolleyes:

Once you tick to enable utter! in the Accessibility Settings, it shouldn't ever disable unless you untick it....... Android controls that aspect and it's locked down to anything other than System apps. Would be interested to know if you can replicate it every time....

Thank you! :victory: Unfortunately not open source.... The IP is all I have and I'm hoping if I spend another 8 years not leaving the house, utter! might be worth something! :eek:

Thanks for confirming, but I'm a tad confused! Do you mean I should prevent okay Google from working when there is no network connection...? Sorry to be slow, functioning on very little sleep....

I love hearing all of the extended uses people get out of it :) I wish I had more time to play with it!! Thanks for your support.

Many moons ago, the AI (Artificial Intelligence) level was planned to increase as the app got more interactive and learnt more about you - Unfortunately I had to shelve that part of the development though to get the core commands working well - Which turned out to be a never ending task!! Anyway, the next but two release is shifting to the Cloud, so it will start to become more of a feature then...

That's a new one on me..... I can only suggest a reboot to start with and see if that clears out some cobwebs. Let me know if that doesn't solve it.

Hi folks, attached the latest test build:

What's new?

Asking utter! about your agenda.

I'll give you a few clues as to how to use the command:

'What's my agenda on Saturday the 2nd of December 2015?"

"Am I busy tomorrow?"

"What's my schedule on Thursday?"

^ This feature should work for natural language use - Please do let me know if you attempt to query your calendar in a certain way that utter! doesn't recognise. No doubt I've overlooked something!

Location information still needs to be implemented.

Bug fixes

Calendar entries - credit [MENTION=5802014]ColdmGds[/MENTION]

HUGELY MASSIVE thanks to [MENTION=907600]Dtrieb[/MENTION] who has saved you all from Force Close HELL! :good:

Sorry if I've fixed something and not mentioned you - Lack of sleep makes me forgetful :eek:

Bug Alert!

Spotify is no longer playing directly from voice commands - Same via Google Now too. Credit Paul Schrandt via email :good: Their developers were quick to respond and are pushing an update soon. Credit Spotify!

I'll leave it at that for this release, as it's quite an important feature - Well it's a good few thousand lines of code that could crash!

Have fun!

[Android Apps and Games] BobD1605:
Brilliant! So much faster than the method I had written in Tasker to query my calendar.

Two little problems I have spotted so far.

1. My phrase for checking the calendar has always been "What am I doing on.....", which utter! does not recognise. Really not important but you did ask!

2. When checking the agenda for a date that has one event following a day that has an all day event, utter! says "On 4th May you have two events, the first is lunch with Susan starting at 11am, followed by Holiday which starts at" (and then stops suddenly) where holiday is the all day event on the previous day.

Thanks for a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:

That's great testing, really appreciate it. I'll create an 'overlapping' all day event and see if I can replicate :good:

Thanks for the hard work now and always.

Problem with "Am I busy Tomorrow?" on my sgs3 4.0.4.

- installed update and rebooted

- NOTE***Utter accessibility goes to OFF as expected. My Tasker profile fixes that temporarily after the first screen unlock.

- start CatLog and do a Gesture to initiate "How Can I help you?"

- I say "Am I busy Tomorrow?"

- Computing animation starts in Status bar

- seconds later, a popup..."Unfortunately, utter! has stopped."

- clear popup manually and the computing never ends

- so I gesture again and say CANCEL

CatLog of this exact sequence attached below.

Sorry, it's an ICS affair. People wonder why I don't upgrade, but my setup is golden smooth right now and I don't have the time to trouble shot more than an app or 2 at a time. Utter is pretty darn special and deserves the same testing care equal to the time and effort you put into development. :laugh:

If my method of logging is not helpful, please advise on a method you prefer.
