I've had a bit of success doing this using taster. It takes some work but using the utter plugin, wait, and get voice you can do something similar.

IE: Say command to utter

Utter starts tasker task

tasker waits 5 seconds

tasker asks question

Get voice

If statement ( if voice = yes then continue, if no then stop)

And I think you can link back to utter using the plugin so that it should recognize all your custom commands.

First off thanks for making this great app. I love the power and customization i can accomplish. One slight problem I've been having though is active listening and spotify don't seem to play nice because they're on the same stream. Is there a way to uncheck adhere to media stream in the volume settings? It seems stuck or locked. Or is it something more complicated than that? I was hoping that might fix a few problems I've been having.

Thanks

Stock price % change

Great app! Is there any chance that the stock price response could include the % change which is often more useful than the absolute price? It would also be extremely helpful if there were a way to store a list of stocks in a portfolio and to ask for the prices/changes in all of them at one time.

Is there currently a way to query my google calendar for upcoming appointments?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hi!!

If you have Utter set to use Google Now for unknown commands, you can say for instance "what is my schedule"? and Google Now will display upcoming events on your Calendar.
[Android Apps and Games] iraf:
OK, I can try that..sorry to ask but where is the setting for what to do with unknown commands?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
At the home screen, select "Settings", then swipe to the "Advanced" tab, select "Try Again", then choose the option "Ask Google Now" and Save.
[Android Apps and Games] iraf:
OK, that works great except that it won't speak the next appointment (in response to "what is my next appointment") as it will if Utter is not running.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
That is correct, at least for now. The developer is working on how to get GNow to speak when it is invoked through Utter.

Just another thing on the to-do list.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Stocks Question-

Developer is working on users configuring the number of stocks they have of each company - then they can ask for their portfolio price!

And daily movements etc.

Custom ROMs are beginning to be a problem. They don't always include the necessary files especially for Google because of the undocumented changes.

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Are you using a custom ROM? See my previous post.
[Android Apps and Games] knightzero07:
..im in stock rom.

i tried using it offline.. why does it says it cannot connect to google?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Not sure. However go thru the bugs and troubleshooting guide in the app. I'll revisit this with you tomorrow, deal?
[Android Apps and Games] dakoellis:
im trying to get the wake up command to turn on when I plug in the power or tap an nfc tag. Has anyone been able to get it to work, perhaps with tasker?
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
Check you've set Google's Recognition in the Language and Input settings.. also check you have latest Google Now installed (Google Search), and that the Voice settings in said app are set to the language you desire, AND in the same place check you have the corresponding Offline Recognition language files for the one you choose previously..

You might also take into account that in some devices the offline recognition might not be supported BY google.. Not sure which phone you have.. EDIT: Are you trying to use utter in the Acer Liquid A1 (S100)? Doesn't it have only android 2.1 (Eclair)? because in that case it wouldn't support offline recognition, i think.

Also, as stated by GLDavis, some custom roms remove Google's stuff, so it's possible that these won't include Gapps like Google Search, and/or the voice recognition and TTS engines.

Using tasker.. just set a task triggered by the "Status / Charging (Charger)" and create an action Misc / Send Intent ... Everything empty expect for :

Extra - command:2

Extra - password:mypass <-- you have to set this in Utter's Settings, then slide twice to the right to get to Power User settings, and set your password.

Package - com.brandall.nutter

Class - com.brandall.nutter.EIH

Target - Activity

and that's it.. if you want to turn it off you can do the same for an Exit task.. just use command:3 instead

For the NFC tag it would be something similar.. I just don't know if there's a NFC trigger for Tasker.
[Android Apps and Games] sgp77:
I'm struggling creating custom commands. I'd like a command that creates a new task in Wunderlist. For instance, I want to tell utter!

"Add task, 'Build giant laser.'"

Possible? I tried to create a command that uses a Wunderlist activity, but I didn't find anything obvious for new tasks. It's hard to know what activity will do what and which ones will work.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Does Wunderlist allow you to use "voice commands" using Google's speech to text?

If it does, then there should be an "activity" that you could link to.(and yes...they are tough to decipher). :eek:

If it does not, then it would have to be added as a feature request, if possible for Utter to communicate.

**NOTE: there might also be someone on this thread that could provide a work around using Tasker?
[Android Apps and Games] svxdriver:
Do you have improve speech recognition checked in the settings? I believe that needs to always send to Google so it can be saved and improve the recognition for how you speak. At least I know just after they introduced offline recognition that setting made it not work for me offline and I would get the same cannot connect to Google error.
[Android Apps and Games] sgp77:
Doesn't look like it, unfortunately...

http://wunderlist.uservoice.com/for...te-to-self-implement-android-s-voice-actions-
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I just looked at the link you sent-If you tell Utter in the settings to use Google Now for unknown questions you can then say "NOTE TO SELF" followed by for example: "make pizza tonight" then it should work for you.

Please note: You may already have a default set for "note to self"...such as Gmail, etc. (You would have to clear defaults for the app then you would see below).

If you DO NOT have a default set..then a list will come up of apps to use..and of course select "wunderlist" as use always.

To set Google Now for unknown commands: Go to the "settings" in Utter, swipe over to the "advanced" tab, tap on the "try again" and select Google Now as the option.

This should all work for you then.
[Android Apps and Games] sgp77:
Sorry, I wasn't clear. That was a feature request for Wunderlist. It's not implemented :(

Thanks for your help, though!
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
After a quick search it seems integration with Tasker has been requested as a future feature as well, so don't lose hope, a solution for what you want might come someday.

EDIT 2: Gah, nevermind the previous edit, even if it worked, it's useless if the app can't catch the intent.. An alternative closer to what i did with whatsapp would be to skip the intent, and directly add the voice data to the database of the app. Does Wunderlist work with a db? It would probably require root and sqlite3 though.

EDIT: on a side note, I'm wondering if it could be possible to directly use the intents in tasker together with the utter receiver to do this. I already did something similar for whatsapp (triggering a "send to contact" action, and then asking for the message to be sent) so i think if i knew how to attach voice data to this particular intent, it wouldn't be hard to split the actual note from the rest of the command and send that through the intent.

If I understood correctly, doing so should pop up the app selection, and then open it with the note it heard, kinda like using twitter with utter.

I'm trying to get utter! to work with Google Sound Search "What Song Is This" but, it's not working and would rather not go through Tasker to make it work.. anyway to implement it?

I tried creating a custom command: Activity & Application both with no avail, it just keeps falling...
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
Did you set Utter to send Unknown Commands to Google Now? If the command "what song is this" is available for Google Now, then it should work that way, no need for tasker or anything.

It would be great if there was a way for advanced users to set a filter list of commands so that when Utter doesn't recognize the command, it compares what it heard with the list, and if it find a match it sends it to Google Now, and if not, it sends them to Tasker (Optionally, if the user chose this behaviour)

I've been trying to figure out how to do this with no luck until now. Can I ask you where you got those inputs

from? The command, package and class. Trying to understand how you did that.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] TheEndGame7:
Yes, I know.. I already had it set to Google Now as default unknown alternative... but, for some reason it was instantly giving me a failed result so I disabled and enabled the (Disabled All Vibration/Vibrate Before Speech.

I also chose another (Try Again) option then re-selected Google Now as the default and it just started working.. cause even now if I have Disable All Vibration unselected it'll still work, so I can't pin point what was the actual cause...

Anyway thanks for your 2cents.. it always adds up! :)

Answer and Reject Incoming Calls Commands not working

Answer and Reject incoming call commands are not working for me, neither is saying 'Ok'.

I have Utter! set to use Google Now for commands unknown, and each time, 'answer' 'reject' and 'Ok' are put in as the search parameter, so it's not any accent or pronunciation issues.

Also, for this command series...would it be possible to have an option for no variable to be required when selecting 'Listen' as a Tasker Task? Basically, the listening command would simply start with the audible beep.
[Android Apps and Games] bkimbel:
Look here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34339449&postcount=2155

The other way to get to this link is from the User Guide Link in the Play Store entry for Utter, then click on the Tasker Plugin link.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
Thanks a lot bkimbel, I was just going to search the thread for a link (i know there was one somewhere..) because i couldn't remember where was that post.. Silly me for not looking at utter's Play Store entry.

Anyways, there you go westwoodguy, Ben even included a screenshot to show how it must look. It isn't that hard to get working, but if you need anything else don't hesitate to post again.
[Android Apps and Games] cableghost:
This is strange then, as I do wait for and see the 'I'm listening' status message. I would assume anyhow that it would not carry forward to Google Now if it wasn't listening. If I change the 'Try Again' setting to 'Ask you to repeat', I receive the following voice response...'that command meant nothing to me'. To make certain of no interference, the ringtone is silenced.

All other commands I've tried work fine...call number, open App, etc. Is there some other setting I need to change in order to allow Utter! to have permissions to interact with Phone, or something similar?

My phone:

Moto DROID RAZR M

Rooted standard ROM

OS 4.1.2
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I'm a little perplexed...when your phone rings, Utter says something like...."incoming call from so & so", "do you wish to answer or reject"? I also have my ringtone ON and not having problem there either.

I can respond with "answer" or "answer using speakerphone" or "reject" and they all work for me. There are no other settings that I know of.

Does the RAZR have it's own setting(s) regarding incoming phone calls that might be conflicting with Utter!...(maybe an accessibility setting of some kind), that needs to be turned off?
[Android Apps and Games] WhiteiceDMSTech:
I was wondering if there was an issue with this app and 4.3 based roms?

I remember before when I was running a Touch Wiz 4.1 rom and had this app enabled, I could say the wake up command no matter what and it would always wake up.

Now on this rom, I am trying to do the same thing but it doesn't wake up. I noticed that I now need to not just have the regular "bluish" icon in my top screen (screen showing time, wifi is on, etc etc.) but I need to have the same icon but in red along side it in order for it to work.

I really enjoyed the way it worked before but it is not working the same way now for me.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thank you,

Whiteice
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hello!! Not doing anything wrong as it's always been the Blue Icon for everyday use and the Orange Icon in the notification bar when "permanent recognition" is enabled.

There is a setting in the application to disable the Icon from showing in the bar...which is not recommended since it prevents the app from being "killed".

Could it be possible that you had those icons set not to show up on your "previous" setup?
[Android Apps and Games] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Thanks for the reply GLDavis.

It is possible but I don't know %100.

I just know it seemed to respond/work better before then it does now for some reason.

I even have it set to auto run at boot and the blue icon boots up but I still can't do voice commands until I have that red icon showing (which I thought would also auto load at boot but doesn't.)

Also, when I drag down the pull down menu, what does it mean when it says something like "Utter is at 1.0.x.xx.x)?

Thank you,

Whiteice
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
The auto start at boot is only for the main app functionality. Also, custom ROMs can be lacking in some features which very well might affect how Utter! responds.

It was always from the beginning..set up for the Orange Icon to display for the recognition feature. That being said, there is a Tasker setup that Ben developed to help you with Permanent recognition, so I'm including that link for you.

Your last question...the 1.0...you ask about is Utter's Artificial Intelligence level. If you add lots of customizations, tasker tasks, etc., the number will increase just telling you that its getting "smarter".

[Android Apps and Games] cableghost:
There may be some confusion...this is NOT about the 'Announce Caller ID' under 'Accessibility', as mentioned, this is about the Commands under 'Incoming Call'.

Note...'Announce Caller ID' doesn't work either for me, though nothing happens. Similar functionality works in the AutoVoice Tasker plugin, so I don't think it's my phone interfering with the commands.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I'm with you. Utter acts as though it doesn't hear you when you reply with "answer" or "reject".

Still puzzled though as to why though. (I was just thinking before where/what might be causing a conflict)?

I haven't seen anyone with your issue.
[Android Apps and Games] cableghost:
A bit of research and work...able to get the Accessibility setting 'Announce Caller ID' to work, but not always. I had to clear my cahce, turn on Utter! accessibility and disable Tasker's accessibility. Regardless, I'm not crazy about the feature due to no filtering. I would like to use such only for calls from contacts, and not have it executed all the time.

Still have issue with the answer and reject commands, regardless of my settings.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
Any comment on the fact that wired headset control (long press) only works when phone is unlocked? It's very less useful if I have to take out my phone to unlock it when i'm on the street so I can ask utter to call someone, since i'm there already i could very well just dial the number myself.
[Android Apps and Games] Quolli:
I've noticed Google Now acts the same way. Perhaps it's a limitation with Android itself?

Would be good if Utter could fix that issue.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
It certainly must be related to android's code, however you can launch and control the media player while the phone is blocked. So there must be a way to do the same with the long press... or so i hope

I've just reset my phone and reinstalled utter, only now for some reason the voice keeps changing from female to some proxy dude... Any reason why?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
As in a master reset setting everything back to default?

Since Utter stores a directory depending on the device on an internal or external SD, did you delete the Utter directory prior to reinstalling the app?

We think that some voice files can be left over and might create this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] pcgardner:
Ambient nose error

I love the idea of "an ambient nose error"! Please don't correct that typo :)

Thanks for this user guide, and for Utter! itself - absolutely superb, even in beta it outclasses all the competition by a mile.
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
Have you checked you have a female TTS voice set as default in Language and Input? If you've reset your phone and it was changed, then even if you choose a different English engine in utter it will default to the one selected in android settings.. I'm just guessing though, this could or couldn't be your problem

Yes, it's pretty battery intensive and varies with device so you'll have to run your own tests. However, great function during those times when both hands are needed.

Yeppur!!! Really, really good stuff!!!

Thanks for sharing!
[Android Apps and Games] HauRu?:
has any1 tried utter on an android mini pc? I think Utter has a lot of potential and practicality on android mini pc for many reasons.

First, since it has to be plug in a hdtv's hdmi, therefore u know it's always going to be connected to your wifi or usb ethernet (no costly mobile data).

Secondly, because it has no touch screen and required aid of a usb mouse/keyboard, Utter voice command would offered an easier/advantageous solution.

The only bad thing is that most android mini pc has no mic,headset hole built in.

I actually have a Rikomagic mk802iv and thinking about buying a bluetooth headset or a usb webcam mic so i can use utter through it.

Does the latest version of Utter voice command work through bluetooth headset?

I read that brandall post on page on page 137

.

Im wondering if this feature has been implemented already?:fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

Hey Faku!!! Sorry it took me a little while to get back on this. Unfortunately, it's an android issue complicated by Google "locking down" the use of the headset button for anything other than itself while the screen is off. Just gotta love them sometimes!!

Here's a tidbit of that problem...in Google speak...

- Why we think this is an issue:

From 4, per Google document (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/intent-filter-element.html#priority), our app should be allowed to raise the intent filter priority(100) that higher than the Google Voice Dialing/Searching(5), but during runtime as our test app's log, no matter what we put the priority value, still all the user apps' priority showed 0, thus no way for user apps to get launched.

For the user installed apps( at /data/app/), the maximum priority value is 0.

Either Google please correct the public doc to reflect this rule, or remove this rule in resolving activity intent filter priority so the tons of 3rd party user apps ( data apps ) that are using ACTION_VOICE_COMMAND as their launching triggers could be still playingn the game.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I thought it was something like this, so it's up to Google to correct this behavior if we want it to work.. Well, can't be helped.

Regarding this, i re downloaded Headset Button Controller Trial because i used it before to launch Utter through tasker; but for some reason i get a FC every time i press a button while it's active. Could someone try and check if this is related to changes in Utter? It's the only app I've updated recently that had something to do with headset behavior

[Android Apps and Games] dakoellis:
Sorry if this has been answered, but is there a way to make utter! respond to something without actually saying it? I'd like to setup some custom notifications based on output utter! can already do by passing in text from, say tasker. For example, is there a way to pass in "what is my battery level" without actually saying it?
[Android Apps and Games] sgp77:
A few things, maybe these are platform limitations:

(1) When utter! is enabled for accessibility, it blocks other apps that use the same trick to handle notifications. For instance, DynamicNotifications: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications.

(2) When I tell utter! to start listening, I can't longer use Google voice typing, at least in the Messaging app.

Enjoying the app! Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
1.) I too had the same issue with DynamicNotifications-it only makes sense though as they are both polling from the same system in order to provide notifications. I'm not sure that both activities can function together.

2.) On the messaging app, you are correct. In order for Utter! to be kept alive, it reaches out to the same server that would translate your speech.
