Is there a way to have an audio feedback once a command has fired? Instead of displaying the success phrase, having the device "speaking" it out.

I use my Nexus as home automation device and would be nice to have "I've done xyz" after asking the device to "do something".
[Android Apps and Games] mtomo82:
If your asking utter to do something via a command that you have created it should do that i.e 'what should I say if it successfull' etc. If you want it to speak a command after initiating a tasker task/project etc you could pop in to that task the %to say variable set and get utter to say anything you want. All pre-configured tasks like 'turn data on/off' etc should have audible feedback.

Can you give an example?

[Android Apps and Games] AdeTheux:
If I say "turn the heating on" it'd be nice to have an audio feedback confirming the action ran properly rather than something on the display.

Also, I'm not sure where to configure the variable you're referring to...
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
Hang in there. I'm sure we can sort this out for you. Are you still running kitkat? I'm running kitkat and standard playstore utter works perfectly for me. Life's good! It would be great if you could give details about your device, your rom, and the problems that you're having.

Ok so I presume your using tasker to control nest or something like that right? Have you downloaded/installed bens projects for utter! Here.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34339449

This opens up a whole new world which I'm trying to get my head round but basically....

In your task:-

1. add a 'variable set', name: %Tosay (this creates the variable %Tosay), To: (whatever you want utter to say)

2 add the 'utter olugin' click configure and type in '%Tosay' as 'variable name'

This means when your task completes utter will say whatever is in your variable.

You can use this info to get utter to speak, listen or send info.... Loads to play with.

Hope that helps :)

Replt to sms (2)

Ok so I've been playing some more and got this about as smooth as I can using more of Utter! which I wanted. Finally (starting) to get my head round the utter! plugin and variable sets....

1. So we use Bens Smsu - Interactive, I add a wait at beginning to allow for text tone and I change the custom phrase so that it reads %smsdata, would you like to reply? and tick the start listening box.

(I still cant figure out how to get Utter! to just listen for content and pass it to tasker as a %variable, like %voice_data or something! I'm sure this is explained in the advanced part of Bens project but I cant get my head round it so......)

2.We create a task called reply to text (and command in utter! to trigger) (screenshot & xml attached):-

- I clear the %VOICE data as I was getting duplicate entries!

- It seems to work better with a 1 second wait delay??

-we use the %to say variable set to get utter! to say "what do you want me to write?" (here is where ideally i would get utter! to also start listening and we use the voice data...but no luck so...

-Configure the %tosay utter! plugin

-wait 2 secs for utter to say what you wanted it to

-we then (pooo!) use the 'get voice' task to initiate google voice search which will pass the content you speak to the %VOICE variable.

-I then transfer that content to my own variable %Heardspeech just in case %VOICE gets overwritten by anything else!!??

- I then created my own variable set '%tosayandlisten' which gets utter to say "Ok, I heard, %Heardspeech, do you want me to send?" and tick start listening."

3. create a task called 'send text' which is triggered by Utter! hearing you say the 'command' - "yes send message" (i set multiple commands for this as I might say different things)

- Task - phone - send sms - number= %SMSRF, Message= %Heardspeech (sent by voice!)

- variable set %tosay......Ok, Ive sent that.

- Configure %tosay in utter! plugin

4. create a command called 'no try again' or 'no retry' which loops back in to 'reply to text' task.

If Utter! / Get voice is not playing ball then you can just say cancel and it will stop.

Please please please let me know if this could be any smoother / interactive etc especially if someone could tell me how to pass Utter!'s recorded speech data to Tasker.

Enjoy! :)

Thank you for the attention. Yes I'm on kitkat 4.4.2 and using playstore version of utter. My ROM is Empty Galaxy ROM by contributer Reggie Cheeks. Utter has worked great for me for over a year that's why I suspect ROM. I'm also using plantronics voyager legend earpiece. Utter only works when connected to Internet and even then the beeping prompt begins outta nowhere. When offline...it pretty much always says I've lost a network connection. I've done the uninstall/reinstalled utter, Google text to speech and google voice about a 100 times to no avail. The UK voice doesn't help either. Any help appreciated.

I'm trying it again and this time, on WiFi, it's working good but for the first time ever I see upload icon in noti bar that seems fairly persistent...like for 5min-ish now. "Fetching from Google servers". Not real sure how long to let it go on.
[Android Apps and Games] TVThemeGuy:
Actually, although I'm a HUGE fan of Utter!, I use Tasker to handle incoming messages. It works like this:

I've set up a series of toggles in a kind of control panel that I can manually switch on and off. These control tasks that I can also call from Utter! with custom commands. They include "Read incoming messages," "Announce incoming texts," "Set Auto-Reply to On," etc.

When I receive a message (and assuming all of my options are set to "on," here's the flow...

DEVICE: "Incoming text from [name]." -- Task that announces incoming texts.

DEVICE: "The message reads [message]." -- Task that reads the content of the incoming text.

DEVICE: "Would you like to reply?" -- Toggle-able action in the task that reads the content of the text.

ME: "Yes."

DEVICE: "What would you like to say?"

ME: [message]

DEVICE: "I heard you say [message]. Send, edit, retry or cancel?"

If I say "send," the message is sent and the device confirms that it was sent.

If i say "edit," the message is opened in my messaging client.

If I say "retry," the device asks me again what I would like to say.

If I say "cancel," the process is aborted and the device confirms with "Canceled."

i hope this helps.

[MENTION=529001]TVThemeGuy[/MENTION], thanks for this i might play with mine to have edit retry etc but hoe do you get tasker to type what you sat as context for message? Do you use 'get voice' task in tasker or something else? If sd our thing else, does that context get passed to a %variable? Thanks :thumbup:

Sent from sg900f running rooted stock loll5.0
[Android Apps and Games] TVThemeGuy:
Yes, Get Voice is exactly what to use. The results are stored in the variable %VOICE. After that, copy the contents of that variable to another before issuing another Get Voice command. For me, it looks like this:

...

Say "What would you like to say?"

Get Voice

Set Variable %ISaidThis = %VOICE

Say "I heard you say %ISaidThis. Send, edit, try again, or cancel?"

Get Voice

...

I hope that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] mtomo82:
Yes that what I thought, I also have it set this way in another task I posted yesterday I'm trying to figure out which is smoother as I really like all my audible through utter! But I can't figure out how tasker stores voice data from utter!? Thanks for info bud :) I'm loving tinkering with both! Ha but have shed loads to do around house haha if only there was a utter! /tasker cleaning bot..... :thumbup:

Do it right, create a custom command in Utter! that calls your task, and you won't be able to tell that it's not Utter! that's handling it. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] markworksfx:
Now they're starting to get it. Utter and tasker go hand in hand
[Android Apps and Games] mtomo82:
Yes I already have this set up and yes obviously tts will be the same but when 'get voice' activates it has a pop up voice search box that is intrusive and therefore makes the whole 'reply to tesk' task not seem very seamless and as if it is working in the background. Thats why I wanted utter! To handle the voice data instead but hey Ho!

[MENTION=529001]TVThemeGuy[/MENTION] is there a way when you say 'edit' that it opens in your message app with the number & message filled in? I thought it would be the 'comoose sms' task but for some reason this only allows you to have 1 or the other filled in!? I've been searching and searching but can't find! Any ideas? Cheers.

Also, made a donation through the donate box on one of @brandall 's posts, can I apply this to the app to make it ad free ?

If you had an older version of Android, you could have both. However, ever since Jellybean was introduced, this has not been possible. Unfortunately. Your choice is now one or the other. Not sure why this is. For me, personally, I populate the recipient and go from there. I wish it didn't have to be that way, and frankly, I'm not sure why that's so. Perhaps someone more learned in these matters can shed some light.

Galaxies everywhere!

Hey guys and gals. Here's something simple and cool I've done with Utter! that I'd like to share.

Note: I use nova launcher.

-I downloaded 'galaxy live wallpaper' from Playstore and installed it for my home screen. It's a beautiful live wallpaper that I've enjoyed for the last couple of years.

-Next I downloaded a blank png icon file. (It's easy to find one with a quick Google search).

-Next I placed the utter! shortcut icon on my homescreen in the exact centre of my swirling live galaxy. Nova launcher helps here. You can change the icon size and layout into a grid that enables you to place an icon into the exact centre of the galaxy, where we want it.

-Now is the fun part. I long press the utter icon, and use the options presented to change the icon image. I choose my blank png file. This makes the utter icon invisible.

So now I effectively have a beautiful swirling galaxy, that when tapped in the centre, asks me how it can help :) It's like talking to the universe!

I combined this with changing utters wake command to 'galaxy'. It's a reliable three-syllable word that is easily recognised. So now I'm talking to a beautiful galaxy, who's name is actually galaxy!

So now when I'm using utter, it's by either tapping a galaxy, or when in listening mode by saying "galaxy". It's galaxies everywhere!

It's a great experience. Frankly, my friends have been dazzled when I pull out my phone and tap the galaxy and give it a voice command. Samsung will be wishing they had thought of this first lol. Give it a try :)
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
That's the kind of stuff I like doing. Thanks for sharing. :good:

Alternatively, I use "Gesture Navigation" module... programmed to wake up Utter by using a 3 finger down swipe in ANY screen except the lock screen. I chose 3 fingers because using 1 or 2 fingers usually clashes with basic launcher/app/game swipe functionality. I also use G.N. mod for other UI functions.

Stuttering over bluetooth after upgrading to Galaxy S5

Hello,

I had utter working perfectly on a Galaxy S3 over bluetooth. No issues with stuttering at all. Yesterday I upgraded my phone to an S5. It came with Android 4.4.4.

I'm using the latest beta of utter that corrects the issue with new Google update, or whatever it was.

Almost all prompts are broken up and stuttering. This happened with the 4.4.4 and also after the phone updated to Android 5.0.

Anyone else had this problem and know the solution. I've become pretty dependent on Utter..

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rastus.rob:
Not that exactly, but when I have Wake-up-Phrase enabled I get a ping/bing/beep sound every 4 or 5 seconds, doesn't matter if I'm using 4.4.4 or 5.0.1. I can stop it by disabling Google Search, but then it doesn't hear me anyway as it relies on that for voice recognition, be nice to be able to use another recognition backend.
[Android Apps and Games] 1arryb:
re: stuttering on the S5

I just started with utter! on my s5 and have the same problem. Wired headset works great, bluetooth stutters. I'm guessing the stutter runs both ways because utter! can't understand my voice over bluetooth. Constantly omplains about "ambient noise".
[Android Apps and Games] anicotra:
Actually, I found out other apps were stuttering too. I resolved the issue by deleting the pairing in both devices, and repairing them. Everything works fine now.

problem with permanent recognition and Bluetooth

I may have spoke too soon abut everything working.

I now have a problem when permanent recognition is enabled. My radio keeps getting interrupted by some kind of beeping notification. this is new behavior since android 5.0 installed.

Very frustrating. Utter is absolutely necessary while driving. I would really like to see this app work. I don't even know if it's utter making the beeps, but the beeping stops when I disable permanent recognition.

I think the beeping has something to do with the location notification.

I tried disabling notifications from all the apps with no success.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] anicotra:
Sounds like I have the same problem as you do. So, where do you disable Google search?
[Android Apps and Games] rastus.rob:
The one I disabled was called "Google App" in the application manager, it has the square blue "g" logo for an icon.

NOTE: this stopped the beeping, but it also disabled voice input, so it's pretty much useless.

I plan on going into the All section of the application manager and selectively disabling different things that I consider could be helpful, I'll post back here if I come up with a result.
[Android Apps and Games] anicotra:
I think the ping/beep has something to do the location notification but only when utter is in permanent recognition mode. At least that's the only thing that pops in and out of the notification bar when this happens.

I also tried turning off notifications for every app but that didn't help.
[Android Apps and Games] rastus.rob:
Didn't mean turning of notifications for the app, meant turning the apps themselves off (killing them), doesn't matter, I went through the whole list of apps and sevices, nothing stropped the beep/ping. Tried turning off all location related stuff too, no joy there either.

Beeping in Permanent Recognition

Hi Folks,

This was an issue during the early stages of Permanent Recognition....Ben has to "ping" every few seconds to keep the device alive and in touch with the Google Servers.

At some point he had found a way to mute that.

However, due to wonderful Android "fragmentation"...and the newest version there have obviously been some internal changes that Ben will have to review and develop a work around.

It's NOT your devices.

Take care everyone,

Gary
[Android Apps and Games] anicotra:

Wake up/Kill problems

I have problems waking up utter! using a wake-up phrase.

Sometimes it doesn't react at all. Then I have to restart the phone to get back its attention :) Do you think I can do something to improve this? (I'm using Lenovo A328, 4.4.2)

Another problem:

Open Browser!

It opens browser.

Kill browser!

It pronounces the command "kill browser" but it doesn't close the browser

What can I do to solve this?
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
Hi. The wake phrase 'listening' mode is very hungry for processing power. It can depend on how many other apps are running their processes in the background. Experiment with killing other hungry apps first, or uninstalling them all together. Also experiment between Wi-Fi, and data.

"Kill browser" won't work because there is no app called 'browser'. Try 'kill chrome' if your default browser is chrome for example. Otherwise create a custom command to replace your words the same effect.

Good luck
[Android Apps and Games] funfunfan:
OK for the first, I'll try and play with this.

NO for the second, as I've explained above that I have already solved the problem, by simply installing Busybox.

For your information, there's an application called Browser, along with Chrome and other browsers, it's the native browsing application in 4.4.2; and as I said, I was able to open it even before installing Busybox, and Utter even repeated the correct command, it just didn't execute it, just like it didn't execute the SuperUser commands, because Busybox has something to do with it, in some way. Read about this solution to SuperUser commands failure, and it turned out to also solve the Kill command failure.

Glad to know that :)
[Android Apps and Games] philipoflyboy:
Ok, I'm glad you sorted it. I'm curious about the app 'browser' . Do you mean 'u.c. Browser'? . If you ask utter "which application am I using?" What is the reply?

[Android Apps and Games] funfunfan:
No, it's NOT the Lenovo UC Browser, it's just the Browser.

That's what utter! said, too: "I'm watching you use the browser application"

Any search on the internet will give you the Lenovo A328 homescreen, where in the bottom right corner there's the preinstalled Browser.

This may be an old post, but recognition works perfectly fine. For English, there is US, UK, India and World setting. Maybe try one of those. I've set mine to US English. As I've spent 3 years there, recognition works 5 out of 5 times for me. I still have a southern slang when talking English and UK English still sounds like how Bavarian sounds to the rest of Germany ;)
