1+ a custom hot phrase would be nice and I beleive ben said hes working on it being more interactive with wolfram alpha in next version. Also i figured out the permenet recognition problem and fc's i swithed engines now everything works fine guess it has something to do with the google engine.

Just set it to ask Google now

Also since you can ask for horoscope yet no add local gas prices would be more useful
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I'm sorry, what would change if I set it to ask Google Now? I suppose you refer to the way utter handles unknown commands, but I'm not really using any unknown command (unless you refer to the "yes / si" issue) .. But if you refer to using Google now to post on FB or Tweet, then i'm sorry to say that even if it worked, it would be useless for spanish speakers as me, since Google Now doesn't have that kind of command available on spanish, also, i'd rather have that setting as "Send to Tasker" which is way more useful.

Anyways, I don't really tweet or post on facebook that often as to really care about it (I'm sure if I poke Tasker enough, i'll find a workaround using intents or database handling, as I managed to do with whatsapp), but there might be people that do care and could be in the same situation (not having the official client installed), so if utter could use the browser to handle commands like these, it would be really nice and helpful, but if it can't, just warning the user to proofread it with the browser if the official client is not available would be acceptable enough.
[Android Apps and Games] dakoellis:
Does that mean there's no explalation for the different wave-to-wake configurations?
[Android Apps and Games] schuylkillparanormal:
If utter is having problems understanding you I would try using a different tts engine and go to the edit commands and edit the ways you speak to your phone example have it open voice recorder by hot phrase start recording.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Go to settings, then swipe to the advanced tab and select wave to wake configuration. You'll find settings there.:)
[Android Apps and Games] beddess:
I think he means what do the settings do, which I think the answer is just that they are different sensitivities for the sensor
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I haven't really used so can't remember the levels.. An explanation is somewhere in the thread.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I think you're not getting my point. This isn't about utter understanding me or not, but about the way it handles commands like "tweet something" (which are in utter command list, not custom phrases) because it expects the official twitter client to be installed on the phone, and as a result it will crash if you don't choose to proofread it with the browser.

I think things like not recognizing the "yes" replacement are due to the way these bits are coded. When you reach that point in the FB/Twitter commands, utter will keep saying "could you say that again?" because it's not expecting a command, but just a keyword that's probably hard-coded (if it was a command it would say "Tasker didn't understand" and stop, because that's how I've set it), so the way it handles these confirmations is different to the way it handles command recognition, and will probably remain like that until translations are worked on.

Therefore, changing the Voice recognition would change nothing because it's just the way utter works. (i think you confused the Voice Recognition with a TTS engine there)

In short, i don't need an explanation to know why it works like this, it's pretty obvious. I'm bringing it to attention so Ben can add a warning for the user to proofread the tweet everytime, or just make utter proofread it by default if the client is not installed.

I have the same problem and can't find where to change it.
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
On my phone it is in settings, sound, volume. All else fails run a game or play some music and turn the volume up. then exit and try the tutorial again..

Better?
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I'd guess you must go to Android Settings, tap on the Sound settings, and Check that the Media Volume is not muted, as this is independent of your phone being on Silent/Vibrate mode or not.

If that's not the case, then it might be because your phone has additional settings in the same place (Sound settings) that mine doesn't

Lol, didn't see your post, you probably posted while i was writing, good advice, playing music or a game and turning up the volume should work too

Android Pit - Apps of the Day!

Hi All,

Whilst being a user, I'm not as sophisticated, nor as tech-savvy as many of you.

First review is sought here... can GL Davis / Faku or some of you other regulars please oblige!?

http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/com.brandall.nutter/utter-Voice-Commands-BETA

ERRRRM, Ben this is for you to consider - I didn't realise a test review is something Android Pit offers to do, for 200 Euros...
[Android Apps and Games] Justinchi:
Brandall, I must say you've created quite a remarkable and efficient app!!! I have nothing but good things to say!!! Thank God for you man! Makes me feel like I have a Moto X haha!

There's one thing I wanted to inquire about, and I know you get a lot of requests here, but I was wondering if it would be possible for Utter to access tasks which are more specific to an app. For example, I use Bible apps a lot, and it would be great for it to be able to actually access a particular book of the Bible, the chapter, and the verse! Now that would be off the chain!!! It'll probably be some work though haha, sorry man...Just thought it'd be a cool feature.

Anyway, thanks again for all your labor and devotion!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Good idea of course, probably further down the road when language translation and some other features have been ironed out.

There are sooooo many resources where any/all of us can write short reviews or comments as to why we like utter and our time there would be well spent.

Just looking at the reviews for this link does a lot, so don't be afraid to spread the word. Good comments go a long ways.
[Android Apps and Games] cedauspleen:
This app is formidable

I'm waiting for a french version but in english this is awesome, the way it respond. Good job
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Thank you. The developer has done a great job and we all applaud his efforts.

A review on the play store is always welcome.
[Android Apps and Games] Bilgets:
Can you execute the app by headset button?
[Android Apps and Games] TheEndGame7:
Indeed you can.. you might have to hold the button down a few secs for it to execute... and also I never had to mess with any settings for it work either, through my phone or utter!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Yes. For either Bluetooth or a wired headset you would need to clear the current default action.

When you press the button after clearing the default that should bring up a menu and utter should be one of the available options.
[Android Apps and Games] Rototti:
Is it also supposed to work when the screen is off like the Voice Dialer?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Yep!
[Android Apps and Games] Rototti:
Hmmm, it's not working with screen off for me. It's not working either when I turn on the screen and looking at the lock screen (slide). But if I disable the lock screen completely, it isn't good either with screen off. :(
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Are you using a bt headset or a wired one. Also, when you long press the button is it defaulting to the voice dialer?

In manage applications you can select voice dial and disable it. Won't affect utter dialing.
[Android Apps and Games] sirmossy:
Haven't had too long to use this, but so far it's working great for me on HTC One 4.3. Very impressive
[Android Apps and Games] Rototti:
Wired one and interestingly Voice Dialer doesn't work either, a week ago it worked... Nothing changes when I disable it. Anyway maybe it's just me then, I'm gonna figure it out. Thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Have you rebooted? Disable voice dialer, reboot and try again. Amazing what that can do sometimes.

Message for Ben

a) Some possible bugs:

1. On my phone, offline speech recognition does not work in Utter! versions 3.0.8.1B, 3.0.8.2B, 3.0.9B, 3.0.9.1B. In 3.0.8B it works. (I can't see any reference in this thread to others' encountering this).

2. In 3.0.9B (with Utter! granted root privileges), the 'kill' command for every app i tried it with returns that android won't allow Utter! to kill the running app (which is not true, because to the extent that it possible to 'kill' any app in android, i have a button on my navigation bar which does just that). In 3.0.9.1B the kill command initially worked, then after a few goes started returning that android won't allow Utter! to kill the running app (with the same apps it was previously killing). In 3.0.8B (installed clean) the kill command works with every app i've tried it with. (After uninstalling 3.0.9.1B and reinstalling 3.0.8B without deleting any of the 3.0.9.1B files left after uninstall, 3.0.8B consistently returns that android won't allow Utter! to kill the running app.)

3. When i first uninstalled 3.0.9B and attempted to reinstall 3.0.8B, i caught the 'insufficient storage available' bug, which prevented my installing any new app. After the cold sweat, stomping about a bit and threatening my phone with the Death of a Thousand Pieces with which i habitually respond to such mishaps, i managed to sneak Lucky Patcher onto the phone via shell command, which resolved the 'insufficient storage available' problem for every app except Utter! (3.0.8 and 3.0.9 were both afflicted). I resolved the problem by deleting one of the folders left behind after uninstalling 3.0.9B, namely /data/app-lib/com.brandall.nutter-1.

Obviously in the normal course of events people won't be going back to previous versions of Utter!, but i'm letting you know about this issue in case it's caused solely by the way 3.0.9 writes the file in /data/app-lib/com.brandall.nutter-1, because if that's so, perhaps there might be a problem when people come to upgrade to a future version.

b) My phone is Galaxy s2 i9100 with official rootbox 4.2 (jellybean 4.2.2).

c) I don't hang out much on xda, but if any of these issues is specific to my ROM (or perhaps specific to my incompetence) and you want more detail on the above, or you want me to experiment a bit (i haven't been systematically investigating so far: the above is just a summary of some of my experiences whilst haphazardly trying to get things working), quote this post and i'll get an email notifying me you've done so.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
With every ROM being different in one way or another it would be difficult to pinpoint. It does however sound as though there was a corruption of files.

Insufficient space sounds like a ROM issue.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
Just wanted to let you know that using a wired headset, i can launch utter if device is unlocked. Having a pin block active it won't do anything, even though it's set as default app for the long button press.

I think the action is not bypassing the phone lock, not sure what's the reason because the media player actions work fine

just figured out the answer to my question
[Android Apps and Games] Iceman248:
Is there a way to get utter to read incoming texts while car docked, but not any other notifications? I'm trying to eliminate a separate app for reading my texts as my phone lacks sufficient memory, but I only want to hear texts and only in car mode.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Not currently.
[Android Apps and Games] Tinasintunes:
Just wanna say thanks for the great job on this app. By far the best voice app out there. And imo better than siri since it actually understands my accent! I only have one issue and that's with the "wave to wake" feature...... My cat has realised (and decided that it's great fun) that when she paws at the phone (usually in the middle of the night) it will speak to her..... I've tried changing the custom message to "shoo!" And "get lost!" But to no avail. In the next version could you add the option to "disable wave to wake when purring is heard"? :)
[Android Apps and Games] apples723:

permanent recognition and streaming radio

Wondering if any progress has been made on this issue. With permanent recognition on I can stream Google music and cloud around, but I heart and tune in radio pro will not work with permanent recognition on.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Morning!

I'm assuming you have shake to wake activated? You can change the sensitivity level in "settings" and then swipe to the "advanced" tab and set your options there.

Can you elaborate a little on the wifi issue?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] apples723:
When ever I'm disconnected from a data network it says "hello grant how can I help you" and then says "sorry there was a speech server error" it really annoying especially when the title says offline because I don't have a data plan.

Sent from my phone of awsomeness...Samsung Vibrant
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Morning...again!

In your phone settings, go to "language & Input", then tap on "Voice Search". Look for "Offline Speech Recognition" and when you tap on that do you see something like "English (US) or other voice files as having been installed?

If you don't, then download the English US files, reboot your system and try it again. (if you still experience problems then you have "troubleshooting & bugs" section within the Utter app).
[Android Apps and Games] apples723:
there is no option for offline speech recognition option in my settings i have jellybean 4.3 i do have english(US) files installed.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I can only assume there are some changes in 4.3, but you should have the offline speech recognition option....hmmm.

If not..just check my screenshot to make sure, then I'm thinking either of these need to be updated: Voice Search and or Google Search, so go to the app and at the Home Screen tap on Recognition and Voices, and when you scroll down you will see "Google Voice Searh" and "Google Search".

Make sure you have the most recent version(s) of both and report back.

**If you do get an update on either, please reboot and check again.

See my screenshots below-
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
did you check in Language and Input, that your voice recognition is set to Google? maybe you're using Samsung recognition instead and that causes the error.

It could also be because of your device not being supported by Google's offline recognition, but in that case you wouldn't even see the settings as in GLDavis screenshot.

Any way to let Pandora to keep playing if you enable always listening? If it is enabled Pandora will keep pausing?
[Android Apps and Games] rookiegenius:
Excellent app. However, when I'm in Google now, the app stops listening. Only exit Google now makes that orange icon appear again. This is kind of a big deal for me since I like using Google now but I need to exit it to activate always listen. Will this be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
That's how it's supposed to work, because Google Now has its own voice commands, you can't use both at the same time, it would probably confuse utter. At least that's how i see it and seems like a logical behavior

[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Hi brandell

I have never got (n)utter to hear "zip" nor does it come up in the returned results.

The closest thing it has returned to "zip" is "sup" or "sat"

I don't think it is a bug, but an accent problem. You could try "stop" for now as it gets that every time. But I can see the word "stop" could become a problem as the program develops.

Bluetooth Issues

Thanks, there are issues with XDA downloads and I think your link is broken. Sometimes you have to attach a couple of times before it will download... Could you test please!

I've investigated the Bluetooth issue further and managed to replicate some odd behaviour on my Flyer. When it turns on, it tries to connect to my laptop as a headset - because it can't achieve that, it goes into a loop.

If it detects my Sensation, it tries to use the internet connection for it - again it goes into a loop.

I can then reproduce the errors.

When Bluetooth is switched on, what do your devices start to do? (You can view this in the settings btw).

Anyway, nearly sorted the fix, which has been a little boring, but before I post, could you let me know the above to see if I need to consider anything else?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Will be back to pick up on other comments soon!
[Android Apps and Games] mistermentality:
Working fine on my optimus. Thank you :)

As regards the end word, zip, perhaps changing it to the word please would sound better as zip sounds and feels unnatural whereas saying please after making a request is quite common.

[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
With CM9 on my Droid Pro, Bluetooth doesn't try to automatically pair to anything when utter! turns it on.

I've also never had any problems with it giving error messages when trying to change the Bluetooth state. It smoothly goes from "Bluetooth is currently switched off" to "Enabling Bluetooth" to "Bluetooth is currently switched on" and smoothly the other way around, too.
[Android Apps and Games] vcallas:
When I turn Bluetooth on with utter it connects automatically to my Blue Ant headset. The only issue is the

ERROR! - YOUR BLUETOOTH STATE CANNOT BE DETECTED?

Message showing up on the screen.

Here is an other attempt @ sending the log file. I sent both the text file and a zip file hoping one of them works.
[Android Apps and Games] rygo:
The opening and closing problem is gone great work just the zip problem

everyone else seems to be having .I tried in raw and was able to get zip

[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thank you. Helped me solve the issue - I'll post an update here in a few hours that should fix it.

Ok, I think everyone agrees that I need to drop 'zip' in favour of another word.

Looking ahead to future versions when utter! is taking dictation from you, you may often naturally end messages with 'thanks' or 'please'.... So, although I don't think I should use either of those, I think I will for now...

Going to change 'zip' to 'thanks' as in my tests it was the most accurate for me - I tested this doing lots of different accents too - I'm glad no one was watching/listening as I sounded like a tw*t! :eek:

Will post in the same release around here with the Bluetooth update.

Thanks folks!

could it be a DPI density issue?

I don't know if this helps any, but I've a similar issue to this and it turned out that the user was using an app called "LCD Density Changer", which allows you to tweak the size of the text on your screen.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.lcd_density_changer

He had changed his density from the default to something else, is it possible that Mahootzki is either using this? or maybe a ROM that has the DPI tweaked a little?

Is this the phone you're using?

Hey Mahootzki, you say you're using the original HTC Evo 4G right? (just making sure you'd not using a variant of it, like the HTC Evo 3D, etc...)

So, to be clear, this phone...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Evo_4G

If so, then your screen size should be 480x800 at 240ppi (that's the screen density)

I'll see if I can fire up the emulator later and see if I can get it to break using those settings :-P

You're saying that Permanent Recognition, when enabled, is using both cores?

Hadn't even thought about that. Are you using something like system tuner to log that activity?
[Android Apps and Games] pejakovic1:
Offline is only used 66% while the rest is split amongst 860mhz and 2 lesser freqs... Offline is i would presume the lp core...

Maybe this is an option that is already integrated, but I didn't find anything on the forum. Is it possible for utter to ask to do another task before stopping? For example, I have enabled wake-up mode when I am driving. I have the phrase set to wakeup because it's easy. I say wakeup, it asks what I want and does that and then before closing it asks something like "Is there anything else I can do for you?" Sometimes it might be nice to do several things and not have to keep waking utter up in order to do them all.

Thanks.
