Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Thanks for the app, keep up the good work!

I'm French.

Can I make utter! read messages in French?

Utter! wants me to set the recognition language of the device in English (it pushes me an "interactive update" in my notifications) as I set it in French but it's still working. Can I let it in French?

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

I just want to add a sound to the welcome message when I activate utter. At the moment it doesn't work.

For example, if I wanted to play the sound effect "fart", I enter into the message box "se~fart". But then instead of actually playing the sound effect when I active utter, the voice speaks the work "fart".

For some reason it is not recognizing the sound effects... Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

I haven't tried setting up in custom intro, but sound effects work in custom phrases. Have you tried a custom phrase with sound effects?

How Feasible is a Source Release?

I propose that Utter! source code be accessible to those who buy the program.

This would allow the addition of features which Brandall must neglect as time is a limited resource. While most customers of the app are not programmers, more eyes reviewing the source produces better code. I imagine versions of Utter! with niche things such as focus on Appointments, or Music Playing, or Web Site Reading-Aloud, etc.

This allows Brandall to continue his main work and also to incorporate those aspects of voice command which he feels worthy of the name Utter!.
[Android Apps and Games] 123421342:
+1 but he would need final approval of all commits obviously. Or maybe he can set up an extension system?
[Android Apps and Games] claudiaa:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Wouldn't there suddenly be a lot of slightly different utters on the market; if everyone had access to all of his hard work?
[Android Apps and Games] 123421342:
Thats why I think the extension system makes the most sense.
[Android Apps and Games] claudiaa:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

I doubt if he is doing all that work to set a bunch of strangers up in business.
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
Yeah, I think extensions would be nice, but I don't think this needs to be open source. That's just opening up too many problems, I think, and it also would encourage piracy, since there's nothing to really stop someone from sharing the source if they have access to it. Even if you have to pay to get access to it (which I think is against the policies of most open source licenses anyway), one person could pay and share the code to others who could build it for themselves.
[Android Apps and Games] 123421342:
I agree but it would be cool if there was an extension system without requiring the source code.
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
Definitely. What kind of extensions were you thinking, though? I'm finding it hard to come up with anything that couldn't be accomplished with custom commands and Tasker support, both of which utter! has already.
[Android Apps and Games] 123421342:
Something like utter being constantly aware and listening and commands only work when you add a specific word e.g, please break my phone would not do anything but utter please break my phone would instantly melt your phone. This can be expanded to playing music and then yelling at utter to stop or lower volume etc. Another idea is integrating utter completely so when you get a new text utter can ask you if you want to read it or whatever. I guess these could just be new additions into utter and not necessarily extensions. Speaking of tasker, what do you use it for with utter?
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
Well, constant aware mode can currently be tested, so that's a feature that will be built into utter!. The command needing a confirmation word is a cool idea. The last idea is something I think should be integrated into utter itself, since that's a major part of being an assistant. Of course, it would need to have the option to be disabled, but I think it's a pretty major feature.

I don't actually use Tasker and utter! together at the moment. I haven't thought of anything I want to do that would require both yet. I like having the feature, though.
[Android Apps and Games] Inner_Bushman:
Thanks! That actually works much better for my native contacts! Tho i still some times get silly behavior like wrong contact is selected while visual results shows correct recognition :P

Example: i've created fake contact for testing named "Stefan Kapusta" but utter! insists on calling my uncle Stefan Łapot! XD lol

Will play around with it some more. But still restlessly waiting for locale plugins. Good luck!

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Hi,

When I installed your I was searching for an app to take pictures without having to unlock the phone and it like like this is the one thing your app can't do >_<

So it'd be really great if you could add it. And if we could chose front or back it'd be even better :)

Btw, there is one thing I dislike about your app (aside from the fact it keeps farting), it's that I feel that if it is on, someone could do basically anything with my phone without unlocking it... So it'd be great if we could decide what commands to allow while locked.

[Android Apps and Games] lncoln:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

There is a tasker profile that brandall wrote up. It's pretty awesome, I use it all the time. It automates your texts, and reads them to you if you want. I have it set for when I'm driving...

I just tell utter "I'm driving", and I get the response "then put the phone down idiot". If I get a text, I hear "you've received a new text message, would you like me to read it?" If I respond "yes", it she reads it...if I respond with "no thank you", she says "ok, maybe next time".

When I tell her "I'm done driving", she responds "don't forget your keys". This works through my Bluetooth headset.

I also use a profile that will automatically respond to texts if I'm going faster than 10 mph...so you see, there is a ****load of options you can use with utter and tasker.

this...is my BOOM stick!

TRANSLATION HELP - Defaults Enforced

Hi folks, below are translations I could do with some help with.

I've posted a simple app below so not only can you provide your translation, but you can also make sure it sounds flowing and correct with your default engine. Please feel free to adjust the order of the words so it sounds best.

Also, I've posted a simple application that uses the language/locale logic I'm working on - Can you let me know if it doesn't say 'hello' in your language please. I may not have your language/locale in the code, so please also let me know and what 'hello' is in your language! Thank you!

Pre- ICS there is an option to override voice/language settings with your chosen defaults. If you have this ticked, I need to work around it.

In your feedback can you let me know what your are translating [LABEL], into which language (I hope this will be obvious, but just in case!), the voice engine you are using and the default voice.

Your thanks meter will increase and I shall remember every one of you should utter! make me a millionaire :eek:

[CONFIG TAB WELCOME]

"Welcome to the configuration tab. I've detected that you are enforcing engine and voice defaults across your system, I need you to remove these settings so you can use this application correctly. Please deselect this in the options I'm about to show you and restart the application"
[Android Apps and Games] RoboJoe:
Personally, I'd rather have my settings left alone. If it is really important to you that the introduction sound a certain way, couldn't you just use an audio file that plays?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thank you - I'm so caught up in the introduction/buttons applying the TTS settings that believe it or not I hadn't even considered that.... I'm going to blame lack of sleep! I'll wait for some more responses, but I think that might be the way forward :)
[Android Apps and Games] rygo:
I don't see where either way it would bother me but its one of those things

That's hard to tell without really using it and if its just the introduction

I'd say which ever sounds better
[Android Apps and Games] meadowsjared:
Voice Engine Selection

Brandall, I totally agree with RoboJoe. If you force a certain voice engine on the user, inevitably, you'll get people complaining about that. His solution seems like the simplest, either let the user pick a bad engine, even if it makes stuff not as good or messes things up a bit. But if you really want something to sound a certain way, just save it as an MP3 file and force it to sound the way you want. :-)
[Android Apps and Games] 99problemz:
My personal choice would be a better flowing voice.. It just makes using the app much more appealing for me. I'm only speaking for myself though.
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
I would prefer it to sound better as well, but the thing is, different people have different views on what sounds better. I find Loquendo to be the most natural sounding voice engine, while others prefer IVONA.

I like the MP3 idea best. I think that's the way to go forward with the voice introduction.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for all of your feedback, I've taken it on-board. Max 8 thanks has been reached I'm afraid...

At the top of this page I've uploaded another test app that should say hello in your language. Can you let me know if it works for you please! If so, I'll use the logic in (n)utter!/utter!

Thanks in advance.

[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
I'm a little late on the TTS conversation but i figured id drop my 2 cents.

Overriding a user's settings for TTS will tend to make a lot of complaints because they have already found what they like.

I also 2nd and 3rd the choice for audio files... Theres a lot of computer TTS programs that will allow you to input text and save what's read as a mp3. You can always ask for people to verbally record the messages in there native language and submit them for you to use

Still getting Force Close with TTS Settings button push. Picture included for what it's worth.

I've also included a screen shot for what it's worth. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
[Android Apps and Games] Futur Innovations:
I would just leave all the words spelled correctly (despite it sounding better with English ivona ) so that it may change or even improve depending on what tts engine everyone is using. I am still using the IVONA UK voice because I enjoy the British accent. The other voice (Oliver from the svox tts) wasn't as smooth as the ivona one.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
When you go to the 'Raw' tab and click on the button 'Tap here and fetch voice data' does it bring up the recogniser? Does it return any data at all?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for letting me know, I'll check out the bug reports. I'm going to leave this for now as I'm wondering if the cause is other code that I've fixed.

If you could test out the next release (coming soon I hope!) and let me know if it happens on that and I'll go from there. Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks to everyone for their feedback and RoboJoe for originally suggesting using an audio file instead of speech, it certainly seems the best way forward.

As he pointed out in a further post, 'say to file' can be achieved with Tasker, but I'll also adapt the simple speech checking app I posted here so it has a 'say to file' option. I really hope this won't take me too long!

So, when the app opens I can detect the default language/locale and play the corresponding audio file, otherwise I'll default to English. I'll post the Alpha2 wording later along with the updated speech app and if any of you would be so good as to translate it and test out how it sounds etc and then post the output here, it would be very much appreciated!

I'm limited to 8 thanks per day, but again the support from you all helps so much.

I appreciate your patience too - the next release isn't going to do much more than the first, as I've had UI problems and bugs to deal with :mad: but I'm really hoping I'm nearly at the end of that and can start to blow you away with amazing functionality soon after that! :eek:

I tried it too, and it only works if I set the sensitivity to High (and then not always). But I don't know how to get utter! to speak doing this. If I chose utter! from the app list, its settings open. If I choose Voice Search, Google Now opens.

Using Tasker to create Gestures

One other option is to use Tasker if you have it installed. It has a Gesture based feature which is basically like shaking..for instance, start face up, flip over, then face up and activate Utter could be done. It's relatively simple if you know how to work with Tasker.

I've attached setup using tasker and then you can point it to the activity which starts Utter. It is "launcher.shortcut.activity".
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Actually what I have working now is a long press on the hard Search button puts utter! in listening mode. A short press opens up Google Now. If I could switch those defaults I could probably get it working.

I do have Tasker. Thanks for the tip.

Later: I did it a different way.

Event: Sensor > Shake (backwards / forwards)

Action: Plugin > utter (configuration > start listening)

It works great, although at first utter was activated a little too easily. I adjusted the sensitivity which helped.

Yup, this is problem with open source - my 'competitors' could simply copy and paste what I've done to advance their product...

It would be different if they'd share their features in return! Right now, I have to protect what I've created.

I'm sure if I keep working hard I'll get a few developers working with me soon, then it'll be feature after feature after feature :)

2) Artists, albums and shuffle all will be in the next release. Playlist are a problem, as the locations are app directory specific. I can't locate them unless I hardcode the location for each music player app.

Can't wait until I'm in a position to publish standard code that other developers need to adhere to if they want compatibility! Separate code for each app is a killer :(

Sound effects don't work on the intro. I should have pointed this out somewhere, sorry.

It's a speed issue. Some devices can take a while to Play the sound and if it isn't trimmed correctly then there might be a further delay of white noise. A lot to go wrong before it's even started to listen!

I'll add it to the list to rethink!
