Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Adam is right. If you wanted a profile to do pretty much what you describe then use tasker with custom variables and get voice.

If you want to use utter for that then what you do is use utter to initiate a task.

For example : create a task in tasker that navigates home. Then open utter and create a custom command to start the tasker task of navigating home.

Step 1. Create navigate home task in tasker.

Step 2. Create custom command in utter to launch a specific tasker task.

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

This happened to me as well, even though I had the necessary settings selected. I had installed Tasker after utter!. I don't know if that was the reason, but reinstalling utter! solved the problem.

@Nicholas: I installed Skyfire browser and tried a few search commands using Google, Yahoo, and Bing. All were successful with it, and all failed with the latest version of Chrome.

BTW, I rooted my N10 today. Since I had to unlock it, it made no sense to keep customizing JB until I did. It wasn't a flawless procedure (user error, we don't have to discuss it ;) ), but I'm cooking with gas now, lol.

Nexus 7

I couldn't find answer anywhere on here but I didn't look through all 340 pages. I have a Nexus 7 and when I turn off wifi and try to use Utter is says...I lost the network connection...any help would be greatly appreciated. I love this app but need to use it offline.
[Android Apps and Games] shawn13165:
Check into your voice search options and download the necessary offline files. That should fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Utter only works offline on jelly bean version of android. It should still work though away from the wifi so long as you have mobile data.

If you have jelly bean then you need to download the offline google voice file. Check back a few pages in this forum to find out how as there has been a lot of posts about it lately.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Yes! This has been on my to-do list for too long... Need to get it done!

I'm almost certain there's nothing I can do about this, other than code for each different app. It appears that some Music Players will start playing in an Activity, which will be paused/killed when you exit - The correct way should be to start the media player in a Service, that will continue even if the application is closed. Why some aren't doing this is a mystery to me! So, don't think there's anything I can do I'm afraid...

WHOOP! Nice device :)

2) I don't know! I implemented the Google back-up, but haven't had a proper chance to check these eventualities... I would hope that if the configurations are different, Google would know to keep them separate. If a configuration doesn't exist, Google will apply it as a new installation. I'm optimistically guessing though. As usual, it's on the list to sort!

3) Not yet, but guess what!? It's on the list....... So much to do......

Did you get this sorted?

Thanks for the suggestions:

1) Definitely should already be in there - added to the list!

2) I've had quite a few reports of this since the last release, but can't see anything I've changed.... Regardless, definitely going to stop cancelling the command creation completely (that's just annoying!) and instead ask for an alternative phrase. Will be in the next release.

Does this happen every time? Not had it reported before... If you have access to the log output from an app such as System Tuner (or just ADB) it might be an idea to see what your device is doing when you switch the screen on and off. There might be some errors there, which is causing the lag.

Thanks for reporting this :good: and to the others who confirmed.

Since the Chrome update, it crashes all over the place for me, forgets my login details, kills all other apps/services running and lags my device until I kill it! They messed something up! I'm certain they'll release an update soon. I'm using standard code to pass the url details, so there's nothing I could change!

I've just tested and can't replicate?? Works on both for me. Could you investigate further if this keeps happening please??

I bet she's purring! :highfive:

-------------

Thanks once again for all of your posts and the assistance you're giving to others, it really is appreciated.

To let you know what I'm up to....

I'm completely rebuilding the app from the ground up - going back over every command, checking the memory, running speed tests and gathering all possible words that could be translated. This is a mammoth task, as the application code is heading towards 1 million lines!

Whilst I'm doing this, I'm adding in new features along the way - So whilst checking the connection commands I added in NFC and Tethering (coming soon!) for fun!

Trying to keep my head down coding, so that's why I'm not as quick on the replies as normal!

Test build coming in a couple of days! Maybe tomorrow.... :angel:

Commands from BT Headset

Love this app. :good:

Am I correct though that headsets, especially BT headsets, are not yet fully supported?

I have tried with two Jabras (Extreme/Extreme II) on a Skyrocket running CM10.1. I'd say that my success rate with basic commands (call/text xxxx) is only about 25%. I often get Server Error or No Match. I know that some of my errors are because I haven't yet fully learned the correct command words.

I've no problems so far with (correct) commands via the handset.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Ben, I did get the offline thing sorted. Apparently the English files were already present. The N10 came with 4.2.1 but immediately upgraded to 4.2.2,so I guess it's included in one of those. At any rate, I can put it into Airplane mode and she's still very chatty. ;)

About backup and restore: the first time I set up the N10 I let Google install all my apps automatically. To my surprise, utter! was installed with all your my settings and customizations intact, including custom commands. When I set it up after rooting (I had to completely reinstall the ROM... long story, don't ask), I manually installed the apps because there were so many from my phone I didn't need. So I tried to 'Restore from Cloud ' but no luck. I did a fresh 'Backup to Cloud' from my phone, still couldn't get them restored.

And about Chrome: the crashing it causes seems to be one of the biggest complaints with N10 owners. I had one this morning trying to login to a site with my Google credentials. I've switched to tried and true Dolphin and utter! works well with that. :)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
You are indeed correct. Some aren't streaming to the headset, or listening through the mic! Got some on order to try and work out why... I'm sure it's a simple problem.

Glad it's sorted :good:

I will get my head around the back-up/restore soon. Right now I've no idea why it has a mind of its own!?

I've switched to Dolphin too. It still amazes me how Google can make such mistakes. How can they make a release without testing it opens a web page first!!?!? :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] dhumphrey71:
Thanks for the fast reply. I have JB 4.2.2 and if I go to settings/voice search/download offline speech recognition it says English (US) 22MB is already installed but still if I disconnect wifi utter still says...I lost the network connection.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Some users have had to try the following to get it to work:

1) Install and default to English UK offline

2) Reboot up to three times

3) Start in aeroplane mode

4) Switch the device locale to English UK

5) Uninstall the Google Search Update from the Android Application Settings

6) Update it from the Play Store

7) Say a prayer :angel:

After it has worked once, it appears to be fine to revert everything.

Sorry there is no concise method here! Google haven't released any documentation, so working blind!
[Android Apps and Games] dhumphrey71:

If you identify which one(s) of the above in what order resolve it, you'll be very popular!!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Welcome! Although there is code for Bluetooth connectivity, it's not fully implemented, so Utter can't hear you through your BT device as of yet. Your errors are obviously because it can't hear you clearly.

There is a "car mode" that is on the dev's list coming and hopefully that will bring us up to speed with BT.

Have a great day.

[Android Apps and Games] Robnw:
Thank you to both.

GLDavis - are you saying or suggesting that it's not hearing me through my BT, that it's hearing me (or not hearing me) through the handset?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Yes, I think so
[Android Apps and Games] Robnw:
That would explain why my results are so poor with BT. A little bit of testing (covering the handset mic) seems to support this. At least now I know how to improve my BT results: make sure the handset mic is close and no big sounds getting in the way.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Yes sir. Utter hears better than any other voice assistant I have ever used. This is only going to get better when Bluetooth is integrated.
[Android Apps and Games] rocketwiz:
When I start utter, if I don't issue any commands, utter never times out ("utter is listening") although it does stop recognising after a short while (not sure how long) and requires another press of the launcher button to effectively "reset" it. To issue a new command I then have to launch it again. Is this normal behaviour?
[Android Apps and Games] caanda45:
Fantastic App

One of the best apps for voice that I have ever used.

Once BT recognition for in car use with my parrot MKi 9200 happens it will be unstopable as the number one voice app in Android...bar none!!

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Yes. It just sits in the notification bar waiting to be activated. Once you do wake it and it acknowledges you, if you don't issue a command it will go back to sleep in a few moments.
[Android Apps and Games] rocketwiz:
Thanks, However, in my case I then need to hit the notification bar icon twice before it will accept a new command. It doesn't go back into (I suppose) "ready mode" if it doesn't receive a command. Is there something in the settings that I've missed?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

This was a problem mentioned in earlier threads, actually a while back. Did you just install? Have you rebooted since it was installed?
[Android Apps and Games] caanda45:
In stand bye while the app is waiting for a command hows the app as far as battery life? Does it go into a deep sleep, or suck away on the battery. Always sits in the notification tray I have noticed. Just started playing with the app last night. Please advise and thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:

[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

You can remove the notification in advanced settings. But I believe if you do this, utter will no longer be in the foreground of android. Which means every launch of utter might be significantly slower.

Go get betterbatterystats from here within xda. The dev has a free version fox xda users or you can support him and purchase his app in the playstore.

This way you can monitor all your apps behaviors and how they perform on your device.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

For me, very minimal, almost negligible in most cases. On some devices it's a battery and memory hog and the Dev is looking for the cause as we speak. If you haven't noticed anything yet then you're probably not going to.
[Android Apps and Games] Inner_Bushman:
Nicholas: That's why i'm here in the first place! I can't figure out nicknames for over 100+ contacts on my list, not to mention remembering them.

Making up nicknames for Łukasz or Joanna would be easy but what with OTHER Łukasz and Joanna? Cause... you know... there's more than one person with those (pretty much common) names. :( And what do you expect me to do with names like Błażej Zapędowski or Róża Nawrot? What possible nickname i could use (AND remember) for them?

My question still stands:

Is there a way to give commands in english and make utter! switch recognition engine (like for messages or tweets) to native language?

Or is there a way to use native engine and let user sort of re-make the main commands like "call" or "open contact" in the native language?

Cheers,

Bushman
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Ok, didn't know you had so many contacts.

I think what you're asking is something brandall mentioned he's working on.

But for now, I THINK, keyword "think", because I'm not entirely sure.... But you might be able to find a work around by using tasker.

Use utter to speak English and execute a tasker task.

You might be able to have Tasker use polish language to get %VOICE variable. But like I said I'm not entirely sure. I'm just putting an idea out there for you to try. It's obviously going to take some tinkering around and possibly a complex profile within tasker but it might work.

Until then, maybe brandall will address this feature. I thought I saw him mention in an earlier post he was working on it. Maybe not.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thank you! Got a few more clues on the headset/bluetooth issues, I'm sure I'll crack it soon!

Not sure what OS you're running, but there's a Jelly Bean bug that's causing issues similar to this. Will be fixed before the next release!

It should use less than 1% as it completely hibernates (as long as you don't have wave or shake activated). The Jelly Bean bug mentioned about is causing continuous recording of the audio, which seems to be the cause of most battery issues.

I'd be interested to know anyone's findings who monitors it - All of my test devices come in at under 1% when it's idle. Hope you experience the same!

Answered this a couple of pages back for you somewhere!? Check the Translation link in the user guide. It's for contacts/texts/calling etc in your own language. Plus any other commands and custom intro!

------

If I've missed any questions, please do let me know!

Making some great progress on the rebuild - So far, it's over 50% faster than before :highfive: @ me! Couple of days of not sleeping and it'll be out to test!

Ben,

Since rooting to jelly bean 4.1.2 I can confirm that this indeed does occur. Not very often for me, but on occasion. I can pull down the notification bar and click on utter and that will close the session and reset for the next command. In notification it says "utter is listening".

"Sorry but I didn't hear anything"

Why do I feel like this is only happening to me..?? I really want to use this app and ever since I installed it, that message is all I get.

Currently using galaxy s3, 4.1.2, I9300BUEMA1

This is the message "Sorry but I didn't hear anything" and i have tried to look the different engines. The google one is the only one that isn't hearing. How do I select another?

Excuse me, sorry to be a party pooper, but it seems to me that the title of the thread is misleading to say the least... It is

NOT

OFFLINE!

Considering ONE QUERY through Google Search takes over 400Ks, when data plans are more severely restricted and cost an arm and a leg (I pay $10 for 100MB) and considering Google already has Offline Voice Recognition in Jelly Bean, it's quite a let-down :(

***

OK, so I was wrong... Sorry about that! :o

It turns out that you not only need Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or better for its Offline Speech Recognition, but

you also need Google Search updated as well

.

For those who wonder, Offline Speech Recognition will work

without

Google Search being updated, but this app

requires the Google Search component to be updated

. Who should it be important for? Just those of us you are using the Motorola Homescreen and want the Google Search Toolbar removed; with the update, it's not possible to disable it anymore without breaking this app's Offline functionality.

Now if anyone has found a way to remove the Google Search bar from atop the Motorola Homescreen Launcher, please share as it's a total waste of space as far as I'm concerned.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Good to know! :victory:

Ok, fix coming soon!

I think this is to do with a bad installation of Google Search or Google Voice Search. Can you uninstall them reboot and then reinstall them please.

I have no idea what you're taking about.
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
Hi,

you seem to have the wrong end of the stick.

If you want to use on-line services like a Google search, then naturally, you have to be on-line. What Utter is claiming is that if you have jelly bean and the Google voice files installed, then utter does not have to contact the on-line Google translation servers to translate the voice data of your command in to something it can use.

Yes Google now can do this, but it is very limited in what it can do as a system wide assistant and cannot search the Internet off-line either.

In fact Utter taps in to Google Nows Voice off-line data to translate its commands while off-line. It is the first Voice assistant to be able to do this. Every other voice assistant on the Play Store at the moment has to contact an on-line service to translate the data for the command.

Utter is not a fully off-line assistant as some of its functionality is lost. But it still works for most of its commands. It is an unreal expectation to want Utter to do a Internet search off-line. You device would need to download the entire Internet to its storage to enable it to do that. At the moment your device wouldn't have enough storage capacity to hold even 1% of the Internet.

The title claims that Utter will work off-line, which it does. Therefore the title is correct!

It does not claim to have all of its commands available while off-line.
[Android Apps and Games] Old faithful:
I am sorry about the misunderstanding. As per my corrected post, not only does it require the Offline Google Speech Recognition files, but

it also requires Google Search to be updated as well

.

Although Offline Speech Recognition in text composition will work just fine WITHOUT Google Search updated, it is not the case with this app. My problem came from that distinction. My beef if with the immovable Google Search bar atop the Motorola Homescreen, which can only be deactivated through disabling Google Search, which is not possible anymore after the update.

As for what I expect of it, I certainly don't expect it to to conduct searches of the internet offline :rolleyes: I am also aware it won't recognize everything I say, especially terse commands that have no context for reference. However, I truly believe, from my short experience using Offline Speech Recognition composing text in the past few months, that it is very promising and it won't take very long before it displaces keyboards, at least in text messaging.

Kudos to Brandall for being a pioneer, and sorry again for being so critical :o

[Android Apps and Games] Old faithful:
Sorry for the confusion, the issue has been resolved.

It turns out your app requires not only Offline Speech Recognition files downloaded, but also Google Search to be updated as well, whereas Speech to Text will work fine

without

Google Search updated. The problem I had was caused by my disabling of Google Search Toolbar in Motorola Homescreen, which can only be done by disabling Google Search itself, something that cannot be done anymore after the update required for utter! to work offline.

Thank you for your efforts and your patience!
