Evernote New Voice Note

The "New Voice Note" was/is one of the most used features in Utter...until...

Received an update for Evernote and it used to be that when you created a new voice note, after recording you only had to press the save button once and the note was saved and Evernote closed.

With the latest update, you have to click about 3 times and then it leaves you at the main screen of Evernote and you have to close it.

What the heck? I loved it because it was a simple process, perfect when driving since their was only 1 click needed to save your note.

Is there any way for Utter to work with Evernote as it did before? (Create new voice note, Speak, click) and done?

E=brandall;33099172]Not yet I'm afraid!Any feedback you give whenever you have time is much appreciated. It would be great if I could always grab their answers at the top of some search results, but for me they're not always there :(

I'll build it in and hope whilst I'm doing it, I'll work out a solution.

Next release should be out in about 24 - want to get all the basic command creation done first. It's nearly there.

Can't Wait
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Yes, if it's there I can extract it. Haven't had time to sort it for this release, but should be in the next.

Thanks for letting me know. I hope it doesn't appear again!

I've installed the update and it is still working the same for me...? One press to stop and one to save and exit, but it doesn't go to the Evernote screen for me. Can you open Evernote and see if you're all logged in correctly etc and it's not trying to take you to the main app to conform a setting. I'm guessing....

Let me know if you manage to stop it happening.

The next release has been delayed a bit I'm afraid - keep finding glitches with the command editing... Determined to get it out later!

For Evernote....actually, there was an update this morning to the update from yesterday. There is only 1 additional click now and it closes out Evernote which is acceptable.

I didn't think there was anything you could do about it, but thanks as always for your expeditious response.
[Android Apps and Games] LinkSlayer64:
Hi Brandall, back again, this time with another idea.(and I apologize if someone has already suggested it!)

I was thinking to myself, shake to wake could be an issue to me, and wave to wake, well, uh... I dunno it never appealed to me very much. So my idea, and I am not sure if this is not possible with app permissions, but I have a camera button, which I must hold down in order to activate the camera, so, what if there was an option for "double tap" of the camera button on phones that have one in order to activate utter? It seems a bit more convenient for people in my situation, at least for me because my camera button is not something easily pressed just willy-nilly.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Glad it's sorted itself out. Implementing my own voice notes and allowing you to upload them to Evernote, Dropbox or Drive etc is on my list to do... at some point...

Thanks for the suggestion - It's a tricky one, mainly due to Android not wanting any apps to mess with the hardware buttons, apart from the long-press-search (for the devices that have it, utter! can be activated this way already), which has been dropped for Jelly Bean...

If you're rooted, then there are button-mapping apps out there, so you can easily configure any hardware button or double press etc to launch an app or activity.

Otherwise, will all of the different devices that do or don't have certain buttons, I'm going to steer clear of I'm afraid... There are so many different configurations, that also work in different ways...

I'll focus on solutions for Jelly Bean onwards, such as double tap of the home button, but can't really look to do anything else... Sorry. As I said though, if you're rooted, there are plenty of apps and a lot of custom ROMs surfacing that have button mapping built in to the configuration.

-------

My eyelids have given up on me folks, so no release for a good few hours - Sorry to keep giving extending deadlines! A keep finding damn bugs!

I'll return refreshed in a few hours and get it out!

Until then....
[Android Apps and Games] seancojr:
Rest well. I haven't had a chance to test utter! yet but I've been following the updates to this thread for some time and the app seems to just keep getting better and better.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thank you, I'm nearly finished now.

For back page arrivals, the latest test build can be found here - another release due shortly.
[Android Apps and Games] alen1901:
App is massively force closing what ever i do. For example, if i tap watch on youtube, utter force closes and YouTube opens.

EDIT: custom intro FC too, i really cant do anything. :D

Thanks meter +1 in return!

I delete utter and installed the one from Market, now its working. ;)

The Market version is light-years behind the current release...

Could you try uninstalling the market version and reinstalling the latest test build to see if it works properly afterwards?

I've thrown diaglogs, activities, databases and layouts all over the place on the latest release - The UI will never be my strong point, but I'll tidy it up once it's functioning correctly.

Brandall, I was waiting all week for this update... And you did me proud! It's working really well with my miscellaneous tasker actions and is very smooth. Not sure of the difference between a command activity and an application so I'm using application for the moment. You might have bugs but none that are worth talking about except that strange word thing box that stays on the screen when utter is working out a phrase.

Tried out wolfram alpha in earnest this week and you are right that it adds another level. I was thinking why don't you just get users to set up the own developers account to 2000/month and set up utter to accept the registration? Don't say the user won't be bothered they do it for Facebook, Evernote, dropbox etc so why not WA.?

I've put some beer money in the utter kitty just to say thanks and appreciation anyway. This is better than anything in The android Market just as it is now.

Testing

I just tested the following with NO errors-

1. What is the weather

2. Calculate 9x3

3. Open Alarm Clock

4. Open You Tube

5. What is my battery "level"

6. Display contact

7. Create appt.......

8. Read my last text

I had NO issues whatsoever.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Great work, thank you. It's an odd one - what Locale is your device set to? It looks like it's converting the number 1.005 to 1,005 which is making it an invalid digit. Very strange. Not quite sure how to deal with it right now. Thanks for posting the log though, it's really helped.

I'll put my thinking cap on and get an update out shortly.

Thanks for your kind words :) Could you be more specific on 'word thing box' please?

EDIT: If you select the activity, you'll see that instead of just selecting the camera application, you can select the video camera to start - which is usually a sub-activity

Now that is a genius suggestion!!!!! Honestly, can't thank you enough for that one. It'll enable so many users to have their own quota! Obviously it will only be for testing purposes.... but seriously, a stroke of genius there Sir. I'll sort the implementation out ASAP. :good:

You're a gent, thank you very much - I think I should be donating to you though!

Great work thank you :good: I hope the result is the same when you venture into the customisation tab! It's gets a bit buggy in there!
[Android Apps and Games] alen1901:
I disabled location things in settings, also GPS is off. I dont like Google knows where i am. :p but it shouldnt be a problem. On Market version, when i ask for weather, utter says that it cant acces my location so, it might be some wrong code.

[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Thank you so much!

Now I have a custom command "search spotify" if correct, it responds "what would you like to search for on spotify?" I then say what I would like to search for, it searches spotify and starts playing the top rated search result, and brings up the now playing screen.

Awesome!

Love utter, love taker.

Also, I found the Easter egg. Don't know the password though! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Which ever language/locale your device is set to is causing the problem - Or perhaps it's a custom ROM issue. Thanks again for reporting this and the log. I've updated the APK to V2.2.5.3.6A in the original post - link below. Please can you let me know if it fixes it for you?

Pleasure :) Glad it's working out for you. Spotify is on the to-do list for the next release - In the mean time I'm sure lots of folks would love to see how you're doing the Spotify search in Tasker!

Good find with the Easter Egg :) It's been there since version 1! Nearly 20,000 installs and you are the first to find it :cowboy:

For back page landers, the new test build can be found here
[Android Apps and Games] HunnyBearLewis:
Aha thanks for the new release sir. Here is what I have tried.

Creating commands

1. Create a command - display a contact - "Rachel" - works :good:

2. Create a command - call contact - "Call Landon" - works :good:

3. Create a command - Open application - "Watch Netflix" - works :good:

4. Create a command - Launch activity - Post comment to Friendcaster - "Post to Facebook" - works :good:

5. Don't use tasker personally :(

----

Editing custom commands/phrases

1. Edited success message for displaying Rachel's information - worked

2. Edited failed message for calling Landon - worked

*Assume the others would edit just as well with no problem.

Community Phrase DB: Great idea, something I'd definitely regularly check on to see what people are using. Looking forward to it. If needed, would gladly throw my hat in to help moderate.

Text Messaging:

I said "Read my last text" and utter apologized saying it didn't have any recent text data to pull (or something like that). I have a number of texts in my inbox. Then I quickly texted myself and tried to command again. It worked and read it back 100% correct. So, I don't know if that even counts as bug: utter won't read back last text unless you already had utter installed and running before the text came in. Not a problem though since that can only arise during the first day of running utter until you get that first text.

:highfive:

Edit: Oh and the tab for create launcher shortcut no longer creates it. Well, at least for me. Anybody else seeing this?
[Android Apps and Games] alen1901:
Im using my native language, not english. and i dont think its a ROM problem, might be wrong. :) will try in a few days.

Sounds great!

How did you manage to combine tasker, spotify and utter? Can you elaborate a little....
[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
WOW! Been exploring the new features for a few hours now. Love the power of the create command especially using an activity. Very nice...no bugs to report yet! Couldn't figure out the first password for the utter Easter egg ;)
[Android Apps and Games] RoboJoe:
Loving custom commands! Two things I'd like to see on that front:

The ability to pass variables to Tasker.

The ability to have either the pass and/or fail messages be blank.

Also, on the music front, I wonder if you can tap into the "listen to" Google voice search, which, when invoked, pulls up a list of all apps designed to react to that intent. I'm sorry, I don't know the name of the intent in question. Barring this, could you add Rdio support? It's *way* better than Spotify. :P

Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] IAmAN00bie:
The latest release of Dragon Search was a huge disappointment. The Android world is still waiting for a true voice assistant app, and it's there ripe for your taking Brandall. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] guy4jesuschrist:
I'm loving utter! so far, and have been using it more and more frequently since 2.2.5.2A was released. Great job, brandall, and thanks for all of the hard work and dedication!

I'm not sure if this is a bug on utter!'s end, but when asking the weather in Las Vegas multiple times, it delivers the current weather of somewhere in Afghanistan, haha. I have visual results enabled, and it displays what I asked correctly. Just figured I'd mention it. :)

I also have a request. From following this thread for awhile, I remember you making some changes based on requests, that resulted in you differentiating commands between creating an alarm/reminder and creating a calendar event. The current option to create a timer using an installed alarm app is nice, but I'd like to be able to say something like:

"create an alarm for tomorrow at 8:30am"

and if possible:

"create an alarm for this Friday at 4am"

Is any of this possible, or was it previously like that and it caused issues with creating a calendar event, so it was rethought and implemented differently? I can't remember. I do realize though that you are working on making the custom commands more robust and soon I should be able to create that command myself, I think. Just figured I'd add to the discussion and requests since I hadn't done so yet. :)

Thanks again for all the hard work! God bless you, brandall!

EDIT: Oh, btw, I forgot to ask...in reference to the suggestion of enabling authentication for Wolfram Alpha developer accounts with a 2000 quota, does this developer account cost anything?
[Android Apps and Games] chaosbringer:
How does this app compare to google now?

From what I've read it opens up custom apps which is pretty awesome (and afaik now does not do) but how about everything else?
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Hi Brandall

This is looking good..

It is understanding me better and can tell the difference between wheres my water and wheres my Perry.

[Android Apps and Games] IAmAN00bie:
Google "Now" (it's actually called Google Search, Now is just the cards feature) is nowhere near as feature filled. It had very limited integration with apps, and can't do basic things like make additions to your calendar or text among many other things.
[Android Apps and Games] chaosbringer:
Thanks for the clarification!

Now can actually add things to your calendar, but I don't think it can text friends.

Anyways, I'm going to install this app...looks very interesting!

Thanks again!

EDIT:

Is there a tutorial/guide anywhere to mix this with tasker or other applications to get super kick ass max voice control in your phone? (i saw a few posts in here about it but browsed around the forums and found nothing)

Also, is there a way to get rid of the popup that comes out after you say the command? (Instead of having to hit the "x" every time?)

Thanks!

PS. Really loving it so far!

Custom Commands

Well, I spent a little over an hour with Utter yesterday working with custom commands...

I tested "Open Application", "Launch Activity" & "Run Tasker Task" and I could not find a bug!!! (Nice Work Mr. Brandall).

This just gets better and better in my opinion.

I especially like the tasker integration since I had set up a profile that remains active in my notification bar (A Menu with Items I use most frequently)

So I set the custom command to open that Menu and I can access any app from any screen and that brings multitasking to the table for me. (At least I don't have to back out or exit from one application) so that I can drill down to a folder or application launcher to run another.

I've never been able to get Wave to Wake to work

Previously From other members

1. As posted I also have a request. [SNIP] I'd like to be able to say something like:"create an alarm for tomorrow at 8:30am"

2. Calendar Events-Step by step creation? For Example-

a. Event

b. Date or Day

c. Time

Display and Save

Other than the above I'm having a ball looking for bugs that I can't find. That's good right?
[Android Apps and Games] RoboJoe:
This is what I'm talking about: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/09/supporting-new-music-voice-action.html

If you could hook into that, it would save you a great deal of time because you wouldn't have to code each music app separately.

Also, for using "get voice" to pass variables-- that works, but I think it breaks the flow, because multiple voice prompts must be activated. It would be simpler if Utter! used a keyword to indicate something that should be passed to Tasker.

For instance, "variable" could be the keyword. So with a custom command to a Tasker Action that simply says what's passed to it, my custom command could be "Please say variable". I would set up tasker with an action that says "You wanted me to say %Param1" (I'm pretty sure that's tasker's passed-into-the-action variable.) To initiate the custom command, I'd say "Please say your mother was a snow blower." Utter! would consider everything after "Please say" as a variable to be passed to Tasker, and tasker names passed variables in the format "Param1, Param2, Param#...". So the end result would be:

Please say your mother was a snow blower.

You wanted me to say Your mother was a snow blower.

Anyway, I hope I explained that well enough. If not, I can always try again.
[Android Apps and Games] rogerbrowne99:
r.

The ability to have either the pass and/or fail messages be blank.

Make your custom command, enter edit mode, then delete the phrase you put in for pass and/or fail and replace it with one press of the space bar.

It allows the mask to work but keeps utter silent!

No work needed Brandall !
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
ok

Spell -no problems..passed to clipboard properly

Call -all good

Alarm +1 minute when alarm time has minutes in it

Movie search..Recommends imdb when app not installed and take you to imdb webpage with results..good

Note..asks nicely to install evernote to use..good

Facebook..asks to manually authorize facebook..and opens link page in utter settings..good

Tweet asks to manually authorize twitter and opens link page in utter settings..good

Custom intro..works well but does not allow for blank input after entering a custom phrase.(deleting all characters brings back previous phrase) Work around was to put in a space then save it ten reopen it and enter nothing.

Create commands..Love it still playing barely scratched the surface..:laugh:

Edit Commands..works well

More later..
[Android Apps and Games] ltassos:
Just a quick thought for custom phrases (obviously not important but just an additional feature).

Allow multiple replies to be programmed by the user for a custom phrase and utter! randomly selects one. For example:

Custom phrase: "What do you think?"

Random replies (programmed by the user at the time of the custom phrase creation)

"I think it's time to drop back and punt"

"I think you need to call it a day"

"I think the worst is yet to come"

"I think life is too short to worry about this stuff"

"I think you're right and the rest of the world is wrong"

"I think you need a long vacation"

"I think you're the best"

"I think you're an idiot"

"I think whatever you say has to be right"

"I think the worst is over"

"I think there's light at the end of the tunnel... uh-oh... it's an oncoming train!"

"things could always be worse"

"if you're not the lead dog, the scenery never changes"

"if I had a nickel for every time someone asked me what I thought... I'd have a nickel"

"what ever"

"wow... it surprises me how little you actually know"

"it just doesn't get any better than this"

"I think you should seek professional help"

"I think somewhere there's a rubber room with your name on it"

And again sorry for being not very often, but again few things stacked up in my real life, and I have test rom yet, as was no release since then, so I'm trying to get it straight for daily use. But will be back soon enough, probably after weekend.
