Awesome tricks with utter! conversational command and other fun and feature requests

Downright primitive actually. ;) I'll give you the overview and if you want more details, let me know.

First, set up a common dialog that will be able to take any positive (or negative) response and set a selector variable as follows:

1: Think of every typical way you agree or affirm, e.g., "yes," "sure," "certainly," "absolutely," "of course," etc.

2: Use Replace Words in Utter Customizations tab for each one of these to "yes."

3: Create a new variable for the commands list in the Voice Data Receiver Tasker profile for "yes."

4: Create a new CommandAction that sets a global variable (I use "commonDialog") to "1."

5: Go back to 1 and do it all again for "no," except in Step 4 commonDialog is set to "0."

You probably already see where this is going, but for clarity, I'll finish.

Now you set your profile for your action. Let's say it's for reading texts. So Tasker sees an incoming task and before it starts speaking, it sets the commonDialog value to " ". It then calls the plugin utter! to say, "You have a text. Would you like to read it?" and start listening. Set a Wait command for 7-10 seconds to get your verbose response that includes something utter! will filter as "yes" or "no" and send back to Tasker through commonDialog as 1 or 0 respectively. The next set of Actions takes your commonDialog value and processes the actions/tasks based on that commonDialog value. So in this case, IF commonDialog ~ 1, read text aloud, ELSE IF commonDialog ~ 0, utter! says, "Fine jerk. Read it your own damn self." Finally, commonDialog is reset to " ".

Voila!

The beauty of this process is, because commonDialog is always set to " " and utter! only has to process one command/confirm at a time, you can use that single process over and over again in any dialog. I think probably even the IF/ELSE IF can be turned into a sub-routine, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

We're the silent majority. ;)

What you said. I WOULD like to have the choice to set that up or verbose/error responses as well. There are times for both, I'd expect. And I got the ZeroLemon 10,000mAH battery [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] so feel free to burn that power! :p

Oops, missed this. Yes, still getting utter!'s error response if I don't reply. In fact, I tried your Display On profile but because I almost always ask for utter! to reply (weather, time, battery level, etc.) turning media down to 0 doesn't work for me.

The "AutoVoice emulation" silent mode by Ben would solve this all. Ben? Bueller? Bueller? ;)

Hey Gang,

I have set up Custom Phrases that use sound effects flawlessly. However, I have tried a few different ways to get Tasker to use the "se~" sound effect call when using the utter! plugin to no avail.

I can imagine very long and tedious workarounds, but they all seem like very low ROI to get her to burp or fart randomly. :cyclops:

Anyone have a way to do this simply, effectively, and ideally, easily?

Thanks!
