Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.0] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Yeah.. off to the shop now to buy some jelly beans.

Got a couple of questions though.

What sort of roots do I need? I have a large range of plants outside I can choose from.

Second, is one color jelly been better than the rest, or do I just jam a mixture in?

I thought I would just pick out the red ones as it could be like cars where the red ones go faster.

Lastly, how do I put the jelly beans and roots in the phone?

I tried jaming them in the head phone hole, and while the smaller roots went in easily, I am having difficultys with the jelly beans. Will they still work if I melt them first?

I got some in the back where the battery goes, but found getting the battery back in troublesome. I think if I hit it with a hammer a few times, it might just work, but am a little worried that I may not have enough jelly beans to get the compleate upgrade and I will have to revert back to ice cream sandwich.

Not something I really want to do at the moment as in this heat, the ice cream melts far to fast to be of much use as it makes the bread soggy.

Any advice you can give will be appreceated as I really want to try utter offline.

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.0] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

A couple of things:

Question: is there a way for utter to run a home screen/dock shortcut created by another application? I have a shortcut to my documents folder created by my file explorer (FX) and I'd like to create a command for utter to run it rather than just opening FX. I've tried using a couple of activities for FX, but the commands failed (maybe because FX wasn't already running). Which leads me to...

Request: is it possible to have a 'test command' function within Customization? That way, one could know, while still in Settings, if the command works or not.

[Android Apps and Games] ewingr:
You expect Google Voice to work? I thought that was still on a "To Do" list, and with not much expectations of success, due to no APIs form Google.

I can't even get as far as it asking to proof read. When saying "Text Dawn Kent...", for example, visual results says "Text Don King...", and replies it cannot find that contact. But if I say "Call Dawn Kent", while the visual results still doesn't understand it right, it does find the contact to call.

Nothing at all works with Google Voice. Won't read last text either.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Can you check your Google Voice Search is the latest version from the Play Store please? You're not running any kind of Google Now ICS hack are you??

1) Soon you'll be able to use any shortcut that any application offers - just add you would with your launcher. I have to do the UI layout for this though, which is not my strong point..... 2) It's a good idea - I'll add it to the list - thanks! :good:

If you enable visual results in the advanced settings, you'll see what Google Voice Search is sending back for the app to work with. If it's always the same wrong command, then you can use word replacements to configure these or custom phrases. See the user guide in the app for more details and examples. You'll probably find that by the time you've set up a few of these, Google Voice Search will have already started to improve at understanding you!

I managed to sort a 'hack' :D

I assume Dawn Kent doesn't haven't a mobile number listed in the contact card? Or it's labelled as iPhone or some custom label such as MOBILE. When asking to text a contact, for speed, only contacts with mobile numbers listed are examined to match.

If you have GoSMS installed, they aren't sharing the message data - I've reported this to them twice, but they've ignored me. If you are using Handcent, then there is an option in their settings to lower the priority - If you haven't received any text messages since you installed utter! that will be why!!!

---------

GOOD NEWS! I've pretty much got the offline recognition working with root - it's more hackish than the root option, but I'm going to give it another few hours to see if I can perfect it. Back soon! :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] ewingr:
Actually, the contact has two phone numbers: Work and Mobile. Also, I just now did a test with trying to text to my wife. I changed her name to exact same wrong spelling that is returned (which again, by the way, does work if I say "Call..." the name), and it still says "Sorry, I could not find that contact". Only one phone number for here, and it is Mobile. Also, If I ask it to read last text message, it says there is none. Is there some setting for Utter I need to set so it knows it is Google Voice?

I do not have Go SMS installed. I do receive my texts. Does GoSMS work with Google Voice?

[EDIT]

Another thing, I have it set to use SVOX MIchael voice, and it still uses the Google voice when speaking. It is set to SVOX in the phone settings.

I"m beginning to think that your comment about SGS III being problematic is particularly true for my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
If you go to the Troubleshooting tab and type in 'call Dawn Kent on her mobile' what happens? Is there anything unusual about the contact number? Any dashes or anything?

Can you send yourself a message please and then try again - do you have any other apps installed that could be grabbing the message data? Unfortunately Google locked up Google Voice, so nothing works with it within Android - need to login and use authentication. It's on the list!
[Android Apps and Games] ewingr:
Works find when I do that. HAving tried multiple times in a row for just calling, I find that occasionally it works when calling, but more often fails. Even with Voice Search.

Unfortunately Google locked up Google Voice, so nothing works with it within Android - need to login and use authentication. It's on the list![/QUOTE]

Sent one to myself, still doesn't work.

I am not aware of any other apps that would grab my text messages. I don't know of anyone that has succeeded doing anything at all with Google Voice. Was surprised to hear you had succeeded (except in my case :crying: ).

I'm beginning to think I need to give up on voice recognition. Google's voice recognition has been about 1/3 as good as Microsoft's from 8 years ago with Voice Command.

Although...another interesting point. I just installed Dragon to see how it works with the recognition, and it calls Dawn Kent every time, with correct spelling. Go figure...Maybe it isn't using Google for voice recognition. And of course, Dragon is not as comprehensive as Utter. And it doesn't work with Google Voice either.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Ewingr,

I believe that Google Voice doesn't want to play nice with texts. Did you say if you use the stock messaging app it will read the texts? I think Ben has to workaround or work with some authentication with Google Voice. GoSMS does not release the data in your texts and Utter can't read back from this app. I just recently uninstalled GoSMS for that reason after having for over 2 years and the fact that it's getting bloated and switched to Chomp SMS...I can now have Utter read back my last texts with no problem.

For your contact problem I kinda had a similar incident. Please try the following: Give your spouse a "nickname" just for testing purposes like "honey bunny" which google recognizes well. Then try calling "honey bunny" and display contact "honey bunny" then text "honey bunny".

A nickname is used on all platforms once assigned so if it works as a contact, etc., you should also be fine with texting.

If that doesn't work, well then...dunno, but please report back either way.
[Android Apps and Games] MelihCaliskan:
I'm waiting for use!!! :o:laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] ewingr:
No. I do not use stock SMS. Don't even subscribe. I just use Google Voice for texts.

But that's stock texts, right? SMS, not Google Voice.

OK. I'll give it a try, But when I changed the name to the exact name/spelling that Google is returning, and it didn't work, I can't imagine why a nickname would. I"ll let you know.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
If you go to the Recognition and Voices section you can test, Dragon, AT&T and iSpeech. They will be available soon instead of Google Voice Search - so all is not lost for you!

This should work for you :good:

Coming soon! :D

GLDavis' suggestion of a nickname should work for you. From what I can gather, it seems as though GVS is hearing you differently every time. Picking a word/phrase that this doesn't happen with, should solve it!

Don't know what's going on with your read last text message.... You must have something installed that is grabbing and holding the message data, or there's a problem with the receiver... Never had it reported before when nothing to do with Handcent or GoSMS.... Can only suggest you watch the logcat when you send yourself a message and see if an error occurs.... Sorry I can't help any further...

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.0] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Like I said I had a case of Veronica and Virgil as names in my phone book and either Google or Utter wanted to choose Virgil almost every time. It was so frustrating. Like you it was hit and miss so when I assigned a nickname I never had the problem reoccur. Weird yes, workable, I think so. By the way I even tried the exact like you and still couldn't get it to cooperate.

When sampling the different voice engines, iSpeech and Google work fine. Nothing happens with Dragon (do I need to install it?) and selecting Watson causes utter to crash (after she says, "Say a few words.").

Just FYI. :)

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.0] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

I just tested and had no issues whatsoever. All of them recorded my words, Google giving me the best results. I'm using Gingerbread-stock.

P.S.- no need to install anything

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

Those shouldn't affect Utter. Have you turned on visual results to see what and if your speech Is being recognized?

P.S.I tried vlingo several months back and after uninstall it wreaked a little havoc with my system. Several reboots later I finally got back to normal.
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
What I did was to make a custom command for the contacts that Utter couldn't get. That way Utter got what I said for the contact name rather than me trying to write something that Utter could understand as the contact name.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.0] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

Not sure I follow. You made a custom command just for texting?
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
DOH!! My bad, I misread the post. I Made the custom commands for calling those contacts that I just couldn't get Utter to recognize the name of any other way.

Still waiting for Ben to get to nicknames by voice rather than typing them in. (They are on the to do list 8^) )

Once he has done that, that should fix the contact recognition problem as I found that even naming someone exactly what google returns, often doesn't work as if google gets it wrong due to misunderstanding a command due to accent, It very rarely give the same result twice.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.0] BETA! | utter! | Your voice controlled personal assistant |

That's exactly right. The best way to fix that is develop a nickname using frequent and common words. For the contact problem I had I opted for "miss davis" and Google has never had a problem. I also noticed that initials work good too. One of my contacts I use "JD" and that has never failed me either. Trial and error.

P.S. We haven't reached the artificial intelligence level yet as portrayed in 2001-a space Odyssey or Star Trek. Until then I guess we have to find tricks to make things work.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for reporting this. I'm getting reports of this via the Play Store too and have been for a while. There's nothing I can do about them, as they are errors in their code..... I'll report them when I get a moment!

About to post about it in a minute!

hmmm... What device have you got? If you go to the Play Store and look at Google Voice Search, what version are you running?

Thanks for confirming - it seems to be crashing on devices that use hardware acceleration in certain circumstances <-- that was about as vague as how much I understand the crash reports!

Offline support! - Good News - delay - and deviation!

Hey folks, an update for you regarding offline mode.

The good news is, I've got it working without needing root! WHOOP!

The delay is that I need to correct the way utter! handles commands that require a connection, such as browsing the internet!! Also, I need to change the responses to use the offline recognition. If you say 'text Bob' then at the moment utter! is set up to ask you what you want to say and trigger the normal voice recognition, which will fail if you genuinely don't have a connection. I could release it now for you to play with, but it would only be frustrating really and I want it to be super useful on your first run! So, I think probably 60 hours from now!

The deviation is not sorting the memory problems... It's boring! But will be next on my list... honest...

Ok, I need some sleep.... zzzzz

EDIT: For back page arrivals, the latest version is on the Play Store
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
That is great, :D

However it also means I stuffed the roots in my phone for nothing. I won't bother trying to unroot it though as the little beggars have got stuck in there with the jelly beans. (They kinda went a bit gooey when the phone started to get hot. ) :silly:

Still the jelly beans do seem to be working okay (although I can't see much difference in the operating system.)

To tell the truth, I can't see much at all as the whole phone seems to be covered in sticky jelly bean goo now. On the bright side, utter works so well, I don't have to see what it is doing.

Still thinking it might be better if i return to ice cream sandwich though. Which do you think will work better, orange chocolate chip or hokey pokey?

ps: How old does a phone have to be before it is allowed to smoke? Mine seems to have taken it up. :confused:

how to kill utter - not that I don't love it ;P

I've been setting up various things to start and stop when I dock/undock my phone in car mode, via tasker, and would like to automatically be able to quit utter (if it's running) when I undock - Tasker's "kill app" stops it for a moment but then restarts it. Is there any way I can get utter to automatically quit at this point?

background : I have an app called Ulysse which is a speedometer, which tasker starts with car mode along with data connection and gps (via secure settings), and have set the seperate utter quick launch app as a shortcut from Ulysse (anxiously awaiting wake up phrase on Jelly Bean but I understand that may take some time :) ) - on undock Ulysse quits by itself, and tasker kills mobile data and GPS, it's at this point that I would really like to stop utter. I'll also be adding in commands to start and stop bluetooth once I've got a car stereo that does bluetooth audio :)
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Good morning!!! I've looked around and don't see a specific activity that turns Utter Off. That functionality exists under the settings menu so I'm thinking there might be a command line option that you could use. That of course would be a dev question.

I think Utter of course was designed to remain in the background and if you leave it as is, you should have very minimal resources being used.
[Android Apps and Games] brens4:
Hi,

I had Utter installed on my phone yesterday, but I could not hear the tutorials so I uninstalled it. Now when I try to reinstall it, I get the error "Insufficient storage available".

I have lots of room and can easily install other apps. I have JB on samsung galaxy s2.

I have rebooted a couple times, fixed permissions and wiped the dalvik cache.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
This is a new problem, haven't seen before...at least on this thread. Did you have any functionality when it was installed other than the tutorial issue?

Have you turned off the phone, pulled the battery for a few minutes, then turned back on and tried to reinstall? That generally clears out everything in memory and provides a fresh system for installation. Other than that, there might very well be a corrupted file somewhere that is preventing install.
[Android Apps and Games] brens4:
I just got it to install. I think it was one of my other apps that was causing the problem. I uninstalled a few other apps and now it installed with no problems.

I appreciate the quick reply.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Very good.:victory: Any issue with the tutorial now?
[Android Apps and Games] kaliakman:
Tried it today on my neo V with JB and it works perfectly! Even with my accent (Im Greek)it doesn't have any difficulties in understanding me.!

You should also add the ability to Send SMS to a particular contact with a phrase.

Also because the names of my contacts contain Greek Characters,is there any way I can use something as a bypass in order to say a word instead of the contact name? (I tried Nicknames but could't figure it out)

Keep up the good work!!!

Oh my...shake to wake was a catastrophe along with the combination of the "Try Again" setting set to "Decide at the time" .

I just turned on shake to wake this morning and set it to very high. I received a phone call this afternoon and when I picked up the phone to answer it, the shake to wake kicked in. So in trying to talk to the person on the other end of the phone, utter kept saying it didn't understand my commands. As I attempted to continue my conversation with the person on the phone, utter mistook my conversation as another botched command and kept repeating the "I didn't understand what you said" phrase in my ear.

Needless to say, shake to wake is turned off again.

I think this was asked before but is there any way to disable shake to wake when the phone is ringing or disable utter when in a phone call. It was embarrassing to say the least. :o

The wake up phrase will eat through the battery and would be beneficial while the phone Is plugged in of course unless we have the option to set wake up period like 15, 30, 1 hour etc. If that makes sense. This has been mentioned before.
