If you go to your Storage and delete all entries from Utter/Files/Synthesis/Google/ that should prevent it happening sometimes.

However, the Google TTS Engine keeps messing up its Locales and choosing one voice over another. I've reported it, but no response, as expected.....

:good: See below!

:good: Thanks!

Have a look at the steps here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40675476&postcount=3929

Thanks for your post - Unfortunately, double tap of the home buttons is a Samsung thing and only applies to System apps. Your only option is to install a Custom Launcher, which will allow you to define the actions yourself.

Thanks again good: I can't replicate, which is frustrating.... but very grateful you've narrowed it down so well!

If it is still happening on the next test build, I'll add some extra logging. If we do solve it, I then have to work out if it's a device/OS or Locale issue! It must be happening for a reason......... :eek:

[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION], I had update the latest utter version. But I found the okay google in Google search is not working. What I mean is when I say okay Google in Google search, it will not trigger the search now. Is this normal?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
If you have utter's permanent recognition on and you say 'ok Google', it should open Google Search and disable the permanent recognition until you manually exit.

Only one app can use the mic resource at a time, so if utter isn't shutting it down correctly, it will be hogging it.

Could that be the issue?

I do need to monitor the foreground app permanently, to shut down when you manually open Google Search. On the to-do list!
[Android Apps and Games] Keow:
[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION], I am not so sure whether that the issue. But before install the latest utter.i was able to say okay Google in the Google search and it will activated the search, after I install the utter update, it seem not work.

The Google search mic icon had become hollow in center meaning it is not always listen (always listen icon is whole Black mic icon). Hope you understand what I talking about. Thanks.

Wonder anyone experience the same issue it just me.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hello! The hollow icon is a Google search issue. Happened to me too. I went into accessibility/services and turned off some items and it began working again. Check there and hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] Keow:
Thanks. I actually turn of the utter talkback and the Google work again.
[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION], not sure whether this is bug you would like to look at cause if I turn off the utter talkback, then I wouldn't be able to use the notification function in utter.

[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION]

Found another possible calendar bug. If I request my schedule for the 14th day if any month, utter reports back with 15 rather 14. Ironically, it reports the correct day name. (eg thursday) all tests have consistent results. So far, only the 14th shows this problem.

I hope you can resolve these issues because I tell you, the experience is amazing, really futuristic feeling, and I love the varied responses which make it more human.
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
As [MENTION=4865507]GLDavis[/MENTION] said, it is a Google issue. I disabled utter and a couple other apps in my accessibility settings and “OK Google” is working again. Thanks GLDavis!

I've Broken Utter!?

"I lost the network connection."

No other response.:crying:

I've uninstalled Utter! TTS, and re-installed Utter! Disabled Utter! Root.

No change.

Booted to recovery, "Fix Permissions". Wipe Davlik Cache. Wipe Cache.

Fixed.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Hi folks, sorry for my delayed response, had my head down getting the next test build ready!

Thanks for posting the solution [MENTION=4865507]GLDavis[/MENTION] :good: As usual, I can't replicate.... and I can't for the life of me think why the Accessibility Services would be causing an issue....... but they clearly are!

I'll put my thinking cap on about this. If you re-enable them, does the problem return?

Thanks once again. I'm hoping in the next release all will be fixed, but reliant on you letting me know! :highfive: I've spent a little extra time on varying the responses and I agree with you, it does seem to make the app seem more 'real' when it's not just the same old robotic response.

Got to be worth a few days of my time adding some more in!

Thanks for letting me know [MENTION=5055950]gbossley[/MENTION] :good: I think that when Google Search is updated, things can go wrong and I need to understand this better.... If you re-enable everything, can you replicate??

I dropped you a message in the TTS Group a few days ago, any chance you could have a glance at it please, as it could be a major issue! :eek:

Thanks as always for the feedback folks :good: Just about to post the next test build!

V3.0.9.1.6 UP!

Hi folks :laugh:

What's New you cry!?!

Wake-up-Phrase

It's been modified and tweaked to perform better and should no longer make your music stutter or mess with any other audio on the device.

It works much better on Gingerbread too. <-- I only just released how bad it worked before!

The new implementation only kicks-in when you have an active network connection.

Texting

You only get one clue:

'Send Joe Bloggs a text message saying I'll be home in 30 minutes'

^ I'd love to say I've handled every way you can possibly request to send text content in a single command, but no doubt there's something I've missed..... Please do let me know if you request this feature and it fails to understand your command....

'Text Joe Bloggs' will still work and utter! will prompt for the content.

Event Navigation

'Navigate to my meeting' should work for you.......

Although beware [MENTION=1989457]themadproducer[/MENTION] [MENTION=537847]BobD1605[/MENTION] this could cause you to time-travel into yesterdays all day event! :cyclops:

[Android Apps and Games] mtomo82:
Ok..... Been playing for a good few weeks now, Utter! Is absolutely amazing, if you use with root and tasker you can literally do anything by voice! My girlfriend is now jealous of my female talking phone haha!

I can double tap my headset middle Button, screen unlocks pin, wakes, starts utter, I say 'play feeling lucky' Google music kicks in and plays! 30 secs later pin is set back on..... Boom!!

Finally managed to get this to work- using utter when Im connected to car or have headset in I can now voice control any playlist in shuffle mode, through Google play music.

This requires route as you need to run a mapping script within tasker to get the playlist to actually play. Also make sure first you kill the play music app before you launch playlist and then map to shuffle. This now works excellently!

Thanks so much for all your hard work Brandon, truly the best app on play store, how do I donate?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
It's great to see it being used to its full capabilities!

I wish I had more time to give to root functions and more advanced uses, but alas, they don't get me downloads on the Play Store and right now, that's what it's all about.

Yes, I sold out to the masses .... :rolleyes: I went mainstream..... :crying:

But at some point, a future release will go back to my roots!

^ See what I did there? :silly:

I request you donation to be sharing your functions with others. When I eventually (2 years later......) get my website up and running, I'm looking forward to users sharing these scripts with each other to demonstrate what utter! +some power usage, can do! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] mtomo82:
Will share anything I can, do you have a specific thread on xda for scripts etc?

Also is it possible to get utter! To:-

* 'navigate to clipboard' ? For instance my mate texts me his address I copy to clipboard (by voice aswell hopefully, maybe using tasker...?) then get utter to navigate there?

*toggle incoming call notifications off/on with voice just like normal notifications?

*is there an actual process for toggling notifications within secure settings so I can set up a profile for car mode using tasker, instead of telling utter to do it by voice or touch? There are quite a few processes/scripts within secure settings for utter! But not sure what they all do??

* same as above but for permanent recognition... At mo I have task set up to 'launchshorcutactivity' when plugged in to AC or car mode, utter! Says 'yes?' and I say 'start listening' which works fine but I have OCD haha :)

# when creating a new command, at end utter says 'if it fails, ill say.... ' it sounds like she (Google voice tts) says'fayels' ? Haha

Thanks a lot mate :)

Thanks for the new update. We will be here to provide you reports and support! :D

Some Calendar feedback...

When I say the "Fourteenth", it now understands it correctly as"14" not "15".

I assume that is something you fixed right? Happy I am. :victory:

Time warp to previous day is still prevalent...as you warned. ;)

Scenario with events on May 23 2014

1) What's my schedule "May Twenty Three"? Result: You've nothing planned today. (or a variation of this answer) :crying:

2) What's my schedule "May Twenty Third"? Result: Reads the event(s) for that day successfully. :good:

So it seems Utter needs prefers "Twenty Third" and not "Twenty Three".

And though utter says it has nothing planned today, it is not actually referring to the PRESENT DAY either! Hope that was clear. I tested the range 19 - 31 in similar fashion, and some work and some don't. ;)

[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION]

Love the new Texting commands. It even works if I say "text Brandall, how are you".

Suggestion regarding 'cancel' and 'cancel cancel' commands... Sometimes it answers with 'ok' but maybe it should always verify by saying 'canceled', or 'Ok, canceled'. Just a thought.

translate

hello thanks for the answer about the home button and installed go launcher but same problem occur when i double press the home screen can you please tell me what launcher i should use with the s4

and a other question when I ask utter to translate in to french any phrase I wait but nothing happens

I am using WiFi and I also downloaded the offline speech recognition for french and English (US) and (UK)

i am not sure if the translation only work over network and not in WiFi or offline

when i use the app. Google translate the translation work well and fast but i enjoy so much utter that i hope to be able to make it work

I am using utter a long time and it's the best app thanks for the good work

You can try xPosed Additions module to reassign any and all button pushes. Just be aware that the module hooks into ALL button pushes so you might have to spend some time tweaking it.

[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION]

Thanks for the update. Like [MENTION=1989457]themadproducer[/MENTION], I can confirm that the problem about asking what I am doing on Wednesday is fixed. utter! now reports the correct date (rather than the 15th) and still gives the correct events (love the attendees including the legend that is you :D)

The problem with my all day events is still there. So asking what I am doing on May 4th 2014, or May 4th 2015 (now that I have added a new one hour event for next year the day after the all day reoccuring event) continues to tell me that I have two events, the all day one from the previous day and the correct one for the 4th.

Text Wife to say Hello, Send Text to Wife saying Hello, Text Wife Hello all work fine! Really good stuff!

If I say Yes to preview the message, and discover that it is fine, is there anyway you can make uitter! ask if I want to send it? So, "Do you want to proof read it?", "Yes", "OK, there you go. Would you like to send it now?", "Yes"

It would only save me one click on the screen, but it would be handy while driving.
[Android Apps and Games] chiruscan:
I cant get utter to dial phone numbers online.

It always says 'cannot find this contact' when online but seems to work offline. Is this a Google Search bug?
[Android Apps and Games] guy4jesuschrist:
Great! I just noticed your response, as well as two newer test releases of utter! Did you receive my email about "TESTING!!!"? I just checked mine, but haven't received one with a link to test your utter! TTS yet. My email address is my name on here [MENTION=5499064]gmail.com[/MENTION] :)
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
Ben, would it be possible for you to add a Tasker plugin for toggling permanent listening? I’d love to be able to set up profiles that activate permanent listening under certain conditions.

Also, can you add a preference to read out incoming calls and texts (with or without the content)? It could just say “incoming call from …”, “new message from …”, etc.. There is a preference that actually does this for calls but it then prompts you to answer or reject it by voice. I’d like it be able to keep the announcement but turn off the prompt at the end. This would just allow me to get rid of the other app I use to do this. Low priority request though.

Love the new update! You’re spending some serious time on this app and we’re all very grateful.
[Android Apps and Games] meo:
start utter when you tip two times on screen (screen is off)

is it possible to tip two times on the off (!) screen to start utter, so i dont need permanent recogination ?

i see permanent recogination is too bad for battery live ?!
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
This sounds like a bad idea to me. I only ever say “yes” for proofreading when I hear that it got the transcription wrong. It’s very rare that I say yes for proofreading and find that there is nothing to edit (in fact, I can’t remember it having happened even once in the past two weeks). I think that additional prompt would get annoying pretty fast. Also, you would always be hurrying to verify it before you get the prompt again, which would make it a bit stressful to use.

At best, it should be an option, I think.

[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION],

I think I know the answer to this but there is no chance you can integrate WhatsApp with it, is there? Even if all I could do was say “WhatsApp Ankush” and it would just open the chat window and pop up the keyboard, it would be awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] //.dax:
It's kernel feature so not many phones will work with this.. And if, then it would be more battery aggressive than permanent recognition because it needs display to be turned on..

Thanks for your feedback :good: Can you post a link to where you are seeing these Secure Settings tweaks for utter! please? I've not seen it before.

See below regarding the Tasker Plugin.

Navigate to clipboard I'll try and build in soon, I like it! :good: I'll see what my set-up is for toggling various announcements. You should be able to do what you want, but I can't remember if I've coded it!?

Google does say 'fayels'! Don't know why..... Other voice engines get is right. I'd even checked I'd spelt it right when it started doing it....

Thanks :good: I'll post a logging version in the next but one test build so hopefully we can work out what's going on....... I'm about to post a quick fix release for some other issues.

It should always acknowledge the word 'cancel', so I'll check my code! :highfive:

Thanks for confirming :good: Translation does need a network connection - the 'silence' issue is a new problem and I'm about to try and fix it.

I use NOVA launcher and it allows you to assign buttons to Activities or the utter! quick launch App.

:good:

Thanks for confirming :good: I'll get my head around some tests and release a logging version later tonight.

Glad the texting is working well for you!

Sending the message after proof reading it, is a little more tricky. I'll have to ponder....

Thanks for reporting this :good: - Can I confirm, it works when you are offline, but not online? Odd, as the recognition is usually better online and stands more chance of finding the correct contact.

However, it's possible that the offline recognition has a more limited vocabulary and is providing a result that is nearer to the contact name...

I'm waffling....

Basically, can you say 'enable visual results' and see what is being returned offline/online when you ask for the contact name.

If the contact is called Joe Bloggs and Google is hearing that as 'Joanne Logs', you can use a Replace Words feature to match these two names.

Hope that made sense?

I'm afraid shake to wake is disabled when the screen goes off. Some manufacturers shut down the sensors regardless, so there's nothing I can do.... :crying:

EDIT

It's on my list to look at - I know I can open the window, but cant populate any content as yet....

Thanks :good: I'll have a ponder over coding 'you've a new message from Joe Bloggs, would you like me to tell you what he said' etc....

If you take a look at the Tasker Plugin, it enables you to toggle the permanent recognition from Tasker, amongst other tweaks

Thanks for all of the feedback and suggestions folks! :highfive: Very grateful.

I'm going to solve the TTS translation to silence issue and then post a fix to that, before moving on to crack this calendar issue....

Back soon!

Cheers

Ben

I think more importantly, I wouldn't want users reading text context whilst they are driving. Instead I need to code a way to help edit the content, without having to restart the entire command.

I'm sure with some serious tweaking, you could optimise this, but hey, instead, I'm determined to get the oflline wake-up-phrase built in as soon as possible. It's long overdue...

Hallelujah, toggling permanent listening through Tasker works! Thank you. You are a god among men.

To all the users of Utter, aren’t you just about done saying “open utter”, only for Google to return some jibberish which causes the command to fail? I certainly was. Just created a command in Utter and now “open yourself” launches Utter, with the confirmation “I’m open”. Or you can go with “here I am”, if my choice of phrase sounds a bit dirty. :p

Made my life a little easier.

Updated to change the command from “open” to “open yourself”.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Ha! :D Glad you got it sorted.

Just making sure you're using a Custom Command to open utter! rather than a Replace Words feature? Otherwise, it may end up replacing all instances of 'open'.

I kick myself that I didn't check Google Voice Search recognised 'utter' before I named the app! Possibly the greatest rookie error evaar! :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
It’s a great name, but yeah, it does lead to a poor experience. I saw many reviews on the Play Store to the tune of “what a crappy app does not even recognise its own name, etc. etc.”. They don’t know what they’re missing out on, but they do have a point.

And yes, I created a custom command. I do use the replace words feature quite a lot as well. You yourself gave me a suggestion in our email exchanges yesterday. I’ve set it up so that “change sound mode to…”, “change sound profile to…” and “switch sound mode to…” all work.

Update: I was wrong about that command. Just “open” will not work, because every time you begin any command with “open”, it’ll just launch itself. So I’ve changed it to “open yourself”.

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

Here’s a challenge for the advanced Utter users out here. Create a command so that if you say “look up hugh jackman” or “look up silver linings playbook”, it will take you to the respective page within the IMDb app. Not the search results, mind you, but the bios themselves.

[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] said he couldn’t figure it out, so I’m throwing it out to you guys. You have 24 hours, after which I’ll post the solution.

V3.0.9.1.7 UP!

Hi folks, just a few bug fixes in this update, so I've just copied the release notes below.

Thanks to all bug posters and to [MENTION=907600]Dtrieb[/MENTION] for spotting the refresh circle remaining in the app.

There's a problem with the IVONA Engine reporting that is has installed languages, when actually it doesn't. That explains at least some of the translation silence issues. I'll report it to them.

The Wolfram|Alpha update just broke the integration! DOH! :(

I'll be back later with a logging version to try and solve the event times discrepancy :good:
[Android Apps and Games] BobD1605:
Yes, I can see that this is perhaps not what people would really need, myself included. I was asking because I am never quite sure if utter! has got what I wanted to send correctly. If I just listen to the confirmation and trust it more then it will probably be fine. It was really for checking purposes, rather than editing purposes, that I was asking, which I guess means it is not needed.

I have found that utter! quite reasonably doesn't know when I have finished dictating the message. So if I say "Text Wife saying I will be home later. What time are we going out?" then utter! will normally send the text (or at least ask if I want to send it) once I have said "I will be home later" because I naturally pause at that point. The only way to get utter! to recognize the entire message is to say it all in one go, no pausing, no uhms and ers, no reason for utter! to think I am done.

How about: "Text Wife saying I will be home later. What time are we going out? What kind of pizza do you want? End Message" so that utter! knows for sure when I am done? That way it could also use the pauses to add punctuation (ok, so it is less likely to know that I need ?s, but it could add the .s for me.)
