Overly excited to get this next version into my phone

Pow, right in the childhood
[Android Apps and Games] CodeToJoy:
Me too. Can't wait to see what's new.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
All done :) Just uploading icons etc, updating Play Store description and change log [EDIT - In fact, I'll upload here first.. I'm sure you can all cope without those things!] . Nothing ground-breaking in this release folks - just hoping it will be the last framework alpha... I really really hope so anyway... This is the boring bit! :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
I think this only mean (n)ew utter :D
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
It has always been (n)utter! in beta form = It stands for not utter. It will be utter when it is no longer 'not' utter. :D
[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
Small issue with note creation. I tell utter! "new note", it goes through all of the steeps to create the note and when it gets to the end, utter! says 'sorry, something went wrong with the note creation'. I have Evernote installed (green tick mark next to Evernote in Linked Applications, also Evernote is ticked as Default Notes in settings).

Anyone else seeing this or could it be because utter! can't access Evernote since I recently changed my Evernote password? Not sure how to change the password access in utter! ... if you click on Evernote in Linked Applications, it takes you to the PlayStore to install Evernote.

One comment...

I understand the reasoning for incorporating the Ads but the issue for me is the placement of the Ads. They are placed directly below the SAVE and CANCEL buttons in many of the settings so people like me (with fat fingers) accidentally tap the Ad when trying to tap a button, a little frustrating. They're placed a little too close together in my opinion...
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Same for me with evernote.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Ha, no, he's not cracking up, but that is funny!!! In it's infancy it was named (N)utter...meaning Not Utter. This was while it was growing up and nothing more than a shell for testing commands, voice recognition, etc.

"Today's History Class".
[Android Apps and Games] easiuser:
I had to manually reboot before I could run this command.

HTC Desire CM 10.1

Important - I need to catch the set up bugs for this! Could you please do the following when testing so you can let me know where the problem was!

1) Go to the Power User Settings and click Superuser Permission and accept the disclaimer for this.

2) Say the command 'Superuser reboot' - the device should reboot!

If it doesn't reboot.

3) Exit the application and then open it again

4) Try the reboot command again

If it doesn't reboot

5) Manually reboot!

6) Try the reboot command again
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Sort of the same thing for me as well. I get something went wrong as soon as I invoke the command. But Utter opens, records my note, and let's me save it. There's a little glitch somewhere.

Itassos...I have a question. At one time when using your stock alarm app, it would take you to basically the save screen after Utter said "That's Done". It's happening to me as well on JB 4.1.2. Are you experiencing this as well?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks again for reporting this. There are problems with the Voice Engine as it's not returning the language parameters correctly, so they go undetected. I've emailed the developers reporting it. It's quite a big issue for them, so hopefully they won't ignore it!

In the mean time, if you select it as your default in the Android TTS Settings and then turn utter! off and on again from the main screen it should default to that voice engine regardless, although translation commands won't work correctly due to the bug.

Thanks - should be fixed in the update coming shortly. I've not run through your list of times that do and don't work as yet, it's on the list to check later! :good:

It's too late, I've already lost it! :silly:

I think I dropped the (n)utter! part when I went beta!?? I can't remember!!! Definitely need some more sleep.....

Good spot on the notes, thank you. :good: I've fixed for the next update.

I hear you on the ads - I have to update the UI of the dialogs, so I'll see what I can do then to place some space between them.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Ha! I'm tempted to post V0.0.1A to bring back the memories!

Thanks for confirming :good:

Both should be fixed for the coming release later. :)

EDIT - For back page arrivals, the new test build can be found here

Hey brandall, here is one app which has Croatian language recognision in it, so i can speak to it on croatian, can you look at it, maybe you could ask dev or something to implement croatian language from them in your app?

Unattended Reboot using Tasker

Bruce7373,

Attaching 4 screenshots for your reference:

1=Task Setup (I have BT off set because I listen to music at night when I go to sleep, so I turn it off before the reboot) You can obviously leave this out.

2=I then select Secure Settings and use the Reboot configuration

3=Created the profile using the Time Edit function (MAKE SURE THAT BOTH TO AND FROM ARE THE SAME TIME), if you don't then it might go into a loop.

4=Run the Task from within Tasker because it will probably ask you for Superuser Access and select ALLOW.

It should reboot the device and then run automatically at whatever time you choose (mine is 0400).

I tested by changing my To and From time say 5 minutes from the current time and then set my phone down and waited.:D
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for the link - As far as I'm aware, Google don't support Croatian, neither do any of the other major companies I can use. I assume therefore the dev has compiled his own language recogniser using Sphinx. I very much doubt he'd confirm or share this, as it would kill his niche market, as I could support it! You're welcome to try and find out for me though! :D
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
@ GLDavis: Thanks. I was going to ask you how you set up the profile, but you beat me to it. :) For some reason, I didn't think start and stop times could be the same. And I wasn't sure how to configure 'once a day' using the repeat option because of the 24 hour format used.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I kinda learned the hard way on the times myself, but after a little googling I found the answer.

You could also use the date function and setup for example Mon, Wed, Fri...whatever.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
V3.0.2.5B up!

I've quoted the main release notes above for ease.

Bug fixes - Notes, credit Itassos & Alarms, credit GLDavis - many others too!

Updates will be coming thick and fast over the next week as I run through all of the remaining code ready for translation!

Bug reports and testing appreciated as always! :good:

[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Is it possible in the tasker plugin to send a command to utter! as if it was spoken directly to utter?

If so, I have bluetooth headset support working fully :D

(or at least of way of replicating the functionality before it is implemented in utter itself)
[Android Apps and Games] guy4jesuschrist:
I'm having the same issue with note creation, except with Catch. Something goes wrong, whether I say 'yes' or 'no' to if I want to proof read it.

Also, superuser reboot worked on the 2nd attempt for me as well.

EDIT: Oops, just noticed when reading further that an update had been released. I'm about to install and test it out. I'll report back soon. :)
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Just a couple threads back Bruce7373 and someone else had the same problem. Probably some coding needed to make it work. Been a while since I've seen you on the thread.
[Android Apps and Games] guy4jesuschrist:
Just to make sure I'm clear, this is just instructions for creating a Tasker task for automating a reboot at a scheduled time only, and doesn't involve utter! in it's use, right? I still haven't really delved into using Tasker much, so I'm wanting to make sure. Also, on a related note, how does one import a project, such as the one that Ben created and shared with us awhile back?
[Android Apps and Games] Cossack101:
I'm not sure of I should expect to see changes in memory usage with this new build or not but it still seems to be the same as before.

If I start utter from a widget and use commands it uses approximately 20mb total with utter uses 5mb itself the rest being svox etc.

If I start utter via the control and settings app memory total jumps to 30-35mb with utter itself being in excess of 15mb.

It's not too much of a problem because I just kill utter and start again via widget to recoup memory.
[Android Apps and Games] guy4jesuschrist:
Yeah, I've been following right along, just haven't been posting much. Just installed the update and will test the fixes soon. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Tasker Project Install

Answer to first question is yes, it does not involve Utter. This is strictly a tasker profile.

As for the project, you will need to download to your sd card. I always put stuff like this in my download folder.

You should then extract the .zip to: Tasker/projects folder.

The extracted file you should see then in that folder is: utter_prj.xml

Go back to Tasker and open it and at the bottom of your screen is the Home Button (looks like the house), long press it and in the popup menu select "import". It should take you straight to the folder we just left and you should see "utter....." Just select that file and you should have it.

You should then see next to the home icon in Tasker, the Utter Icon. Just touch that and your files should be there for that project.

Pretty nifty if you ask me, but have fun with that. It works well.

Lemme know if you need anything else.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

You are correct, BUT I haven't seen the 50mb usage that would show up on occasion either.

It's a much faster/leaner app now which for me, is enough not to worry about the memory. However, during the recoding, Ben found small parts here and there that were contributing and he wanted to redo the menu (we think that's the other problem) in the Holo theme. He's still working on that, so hopefully, once done, maybe the memory issue will fade away!!!:cool:

Bluetooth Voice Control

Here is a guide for bluetooth voice control using the bluetooth mic. Ideal for in a car or with a headset when the phone is in your bag (for example).

Pre Requisites:

Tasker

AutoVoice beta

AutoVoice is currently in closed beta. A PM to the developer (joaomgcd) will let you in. This guy developed autoshortcut and autoremote. He knows his stuff!

Using the tasker AutoVoice plugin, you can set a listen action with bluetooth headset clicked. This will start the standard voice recognition but using the bluetooth mic, and store it to a variable. You can also filter this variable to remove certain words.

You can also enable output to the bluetooth device, so even if I am listening to the radio in my car, it will says "yes James" prior to listening. Afterwards it switches back to normal and the radio comes on again. It is the equivalent of being in an instant phone call directly with your device.

You can combine this with utter in many ways - providing variables as described in the tasker tutorial.

HOWEVER - you cannot yet use all of the functions of utter with this approach. When it starts listening I could say "search for images of potatoes" but there is no way I can see that you can send this directly to utter to carry out the function.

Ben.. any chance of this?

At the moment as my main use is in the car, I am tempted to develop my own commands and activities but it would be a lot easier if I could drive utter directly.

Or of course this will be redundant when utter can do the same as AutoVoice natively.
[Android Apps and Games] Cossack101:
I've had to uninstall this latest version. It was making my phone very unresponsive and pone to crashes.

It wasnt using excessive memory, wasn't using CPU cycles as reported by Watchdog or effecting my linpack score but it was making the system unstable and laggy.

Having removed utter I'm fine again
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
That's unusual...I've had nothing like that. In fact it's more responsive now than ever on my EVO. Maybe a corrupted install or a conflict with a newly installed app? Guess we'll see if anyone else has any reports of problems. Hmmmm!
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
It's alive!!!! (Insert manic laughter here :silly: )

The s2 lives!! In frustration I gave it a belt and it burst into life...Don't know for how long, but still...It lives..

On with the testing...:highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] guy4jesuschrist:
Thanks so much for the rundown on how to import the project. I had originally extracted the project and put the folder containing the xml file in the "Tasker/auto-import" folder, since there wasn't an existing "Tasker/projects" folder, as seen below. I'll create the projects folder though, place the xml file in it, and so on. Thanks again!

I also have the original EVO 4G and am not having any lag due to utter!, as far as I'm aware. I am using the SlimBean Rom and crossbreeder script, so that could be helping to mask any issues that might exist, but I'm not sure.
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Question..

Why can't I create a command to open an application any more? It used to work, but now it just tells me "Sorry, that command can't be customized"

Is this a bug or is it disabled on purpose?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Create a command-not working

You are correct, I just tried and got the same thing. Can't be a bug, as this has always worked. We'll just alert Ben that something needs fixed.:eek:

It's not your "resurrected" device!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I'd originally redesigned the UI on the rebuild which fixed further memory issues, but I had to revert to the original just to get it out there. I'll update it soon, so the memory usage should lower again from the settings.

Android allocates 15-20mb of memory for an application that runs as a service. so that's the minimum it will ever be. I've updated the memory to drop Google Voice Search, which is why it doesn't get much higher now. Have an update coming soon to flush the Voice Engine memory, as 20mb for SVOX is too high, but I don't have as much control over this.

Along the way in the rebuild I minimised the memory use, but still a few hundred thousands lines to check!

It could be the Jelly Bean bug where Google continues to record audio in the background. I've a fix built, but not in the current release. If you say the command 'shut down' that should resolve it.

Google has excluded some Jelly Bean devices too, so I think it's unlikely they'll ever support ICS or further back :(

That reminds me, it's still on my list to do to look for a work-around for the excluded JB devices!

Thanks for sharing this and I'll probably need to PM you at some point about the headset class and the Tasker script. :good:

Sending a command to utter! is on my list to look at - I need to put some security in there to make sure a rouge app doesn't fire off a premium text message command or something.... I'll bump this up the list. For now, all I can think of is sending yourself a text using the remote control feature (as that is already password protected)! Would be very slow though... but it would confirm the circle is possible.

Good spot! and thanks for confirming. Not sure how I broke that... I'll fix for the next test build.

Thanks for all reports and feedback, appreciated!

EDIT: For back page arrivals, the latest test build is here

[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
With the current version of utter, I say "set alarm in 2 hours called test". Utter replies that's done and the alarm is set (stock clock application on JB 4.2.2. Previously it would leave the clock application open after issuing this command.
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
I have set a password for the remote control feature of 'password' for test purposes.

I send a text to myself: password_utter_say hello

but the text just comes through as per normal...
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Unless I'm misunderstanding the issue, this still works for me. I can say 'open calculator' and Calculator opens. Or I can make a custom command, 'do math,' and Calculator will open.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
It's create a command we're having trouble with.

Go to create a command and in the sub menu select open application and see what you get
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Phew Thats a relief! Getting worried about this "resurrected device" though..It seems to start dribbling when held close to my ear now...is that normal for a resurrected phone?...:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Maybe an exorcism? Might be possessed by a rogue app? (Sillier)
[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
New Note command works now...Thank you

Calculate command does not work. If I say calculate 9 times 6, utter responds 9 asterisk 6 = 90.0 (utter says asterisk instead of times). Then if I say calculate 3 times 9 or calculate 3 + 9, utter replies "sorry, complex calculations are disabled at this time".

Float commands no longer works.

Appologies for reporting findings one at a time... I'm trying to go through the command list when I have time.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Float command works.... Say "float command list" and it should come right up. I'm doing the same as you with the commands.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Right you are. I was testing on my N10 and forgot I didn't update utter on that, only my phone.

Never mind.... ;)

Curious: what's the new accessibility option for?
[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
Float Command List opened the utter commands, not the floating window like it used to. Once I set "Enable Visual Commands" to display what I was saying, (opens the little window), then Float Command List started working... as if it couldn't display the floating until it displayed the other little window for the visual commands first). Once I disabled visual commands, the "Float Command List" went back to opening the utter commands rather than the floating window. Something a little buggy there...

"Display Tasks" command (for Tasker), utter replies "sorry I couldn't find a match for that task".
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
CONFIRMING-

You are right on the Calculation-I get all kinds of weird stuff!! It's got a mind of its own!

---------- Post added at 07:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------

Kinda weird..Float Command List works fine for me, but then when using "New Voice Note" I get "Sorry something went wrong with the note creation", but it opens right up and works fine. Thinking I might need to uninstall and reinstall Evernote?

---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

Good morning! You're speaking of the options on your phone? They are for those that have Vision or Hearing disabilites. It's kinda neat as it gives spoken specifics of where you are on the screen. I've played with it a little.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for all of the bug reports :good: will release a fix later!

Accessibility stuff I meant to disable, good spot though! I'll enable the commands for that when I've fixed some more bugs!

Back later!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
How Utter & Tasker can work for you!

Good morning to all:

I've seen some interest in Tasker and so I wanted to share this with you (I'm no Tasker expert)..but just wanted to give you an idea what you can do with it and use Utter to implement.

That being said, this task will turn BT on, automatically connect to a BT device, start Pandora and Play for 1 hour, then shut down Pandora, turn BT off, and return to the Home Screen. All automated, just by activating Utter and saying "start Pandora".

I am Rooted, so some of these commands may not work if you aren't, but you can change some things to suit your device.

There are 4 screenshots with some highlighted areas to guide you along if you want to try on your own.

Just create a command in Utter, select run Tasker task and the command that I used was "start Pandora". With this task you can eliminate going to settings, turn on BT, select device, exit, then app drawer for Pandora, etc.

Hope this helps some to comprehend just how flexible Utter is in its functionality with Tasker.

Have a Great Day!

Addition: For anyone wanting to know more about Tasker, go to Ben's Signature-and click on "The Ultimate Noob/Beginner's Guide". Very good read and informative.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I can't replicate, it works fine for me... Could you try switching the password to something else and see if that's the problem? It might be a case sensitive or numeric issue I've overlooked... Let me know!

No need to apologise! Please keep them coming! :good: BUT, I can't replicate... The calculations work for me every time.. It uses basic order of operations, so 5 + 5 * 9 would be 5+ (5*9) = 50

Could you try again please? I'll sort the asterisk issue :good:

I can't replicate the floating commands. Works for me?

Good spot on the Display Tasks! Fixed for the next released :good:

Can't replicate the calculation :confused:

Good spot on the Voice Notes! :good: Fixed for the next release!

Thanks for sharing your Tasker skills too!

Not sure I can keep my eyes open long enough to post the next build, will probably be after a nap now! Back soon!

[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Calculate is very inconsistent for me. I'll get accurate responses, try something else that doesn't work, try the ones I got a good response for and they will come back wrong? Like I said before it's like a mind of its own. Weird.
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Float command works fine for me on S2,S3,and note 10.1

Calculations are also correct on all three devices.

Did notice on the S3, if you allow utter services under Accessibility/ services. then the s3 will start saying when I open or close an application folder.

Disabling it does not seem to upset Utter though ( it is disabled by default). Found it playing in the settings and went "Hum..I wonder if that should be on and turned it on. I have looked online and found that some other apps have had the same effect on the S3 and left their developers chasing their tails and not finding a solution so I wouldn't panic about it..Just be aware of it in case someone with an S3 starts jumping up and down because after playing with utter and their settings wound up with their phone talking when they open and close folders and can't shut it up without uninstalling Utter.

Edit..Thought it didn't like calculate 9*10 and was repeatable, but after turning on visual results, it turned out to be trying to calculate 9 * Teen.. Not a calculation I would like to think about either !! :eek:

[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
What's the difference between a reboot and a hot reboot?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
A hot reboot just restarts the android framework. It takes about half the time of a normal boot.
