freak4dell answered correctly. On the YouTube video there was no need for a UI (it used the UI of the apps it called only) or to check or test my settings which I stored in a text file that had to be manually updated... Important logic was written in shell too which I have to convert.

Providing a set-up process for the user, testing the device settings and making utter! as backwards OS compatible as possible is all new to me (this being my first Java release) hence the slow release process. I've just spent the last 30 hours straight changing the UI - 30 hours wasted really as I've done nothing on the logic... so frustrating :mad:

Anyway, things will speed up when I get some Java support, until then, I'm going to grab a couple of hours sleep and get back to it!

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.1] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Ben. Don't know the specifics of what devices don't get offline recognition or why. When Google released JB for the nexus s we didn't get offline recognition.

I checked the location you asked on both my nexus s running CM10.1 (4.2.1)with yesterday's nightly and on my TF300T running a JB 4.1.1 and my tablet has the option to download offline speech files. My phone does not though. I assume others have the same issue. I suspect it is just because the older hardware isn't fast enough to process the speech quick enough.

Sorry I can't be of any more help.

I'm going through some serious utter! envy with all you guys on JB doing the offline thing. HTC isn't going to be pushing JB to my phone, so I'm wondering if this is what it's going to take for me to root. It's either that or wait for a phone upgrade (another 10 months).

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.1] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

I don't see offline voice files on my older HTC EVO 4G. I could download other languages like Russian, French etc.

When I go offline my recognition had worked fine without additional files. Not sure why some of you are having problems. The only difference I have is the offline voice changes and sounds a little more like the PICO voice.

I wonder If it's something with my ROM or maybe it found the unused SVOX files on my SD card? I had and was using SVOX before I rooted from gingerbread to Jelly Bean.

I'm thinking we're missing something simple here but as of yet can't put my finger on what it might be.

Right now no front facing camera or 4g service. Neither of them upset me as I don't need it and may be fixed in the future.

I tried setting language to UK English, but the voice settings only show 3 options (Language, speech output, block offensive words). There should be 5 options according to Google Help...

Also, I noticed that Google offers 2 versions of Voice Search on the market (as seen in browser) I can't see what the difference is, but the other one is not suited for my device.

Why would there be difference between devices? Isn't voice recognition (online or offline) just software?

Sorry, but I didn't hear anything - BUG

Hi folks, lightning post.

The issue of utter! saying 'Sorry, but I didn't hear anything' appears to be caused by the device being laid down on certain surfaces when it's activated and the voice recognition picking up on the vibrate after the listening beep.

Not sure why this has started to happen, but if I pick the device up and hold it lightly between my fingers, it doesn't occur any more.

Will push a fix out later!

Thank you :good:

But I'm having so much fun doing other things! :victory: Yeah, I know, I need to revisit these... See the end of this post.

As per my post above, I'm pretty sure this is a vibrate issue - I've yet to have anyone confirm though!

Ok, I'll have to do some digging to see if we can get around this...

Go for it! I talked GLDavis into it and he's not looked back! Happy to help via Gtalk if you do it.....

The 'Google Now' voice is network synthesised, so when there's no connection, it reverts to the standard Google voice engine, which isn't as good. It's on the list to investigate how I can switch to an alternative as and when.

Thanks for the offer! :good: When I get my website up and running there will be a section on there where everyone can help.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to fix this... I would mean I have to put blank spaces at different places throughout the application.... And those spaces change position depending on screen size and font etc... You can read about it here. I'm really hoping there will be an OTA for you soon, as this has now been fixed.

As suggested above, it's being disabled somehow...? Perhaps based on the specification of your device. I'll try and find the documentation about this.

I'm working on this and will have it up and running soon! In the mean time, you can create any jokes with custom phrases. Takes a bit of effort... but if you put 'tell me a joke' in the top box and 'knock knock' in the bottom. Tick start listening. Then another with 'Who's there' and 'Siri' start listening... etc etc

Will fix that asap! Thanks.

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

Thanks for all of your posts and those that are helping out too. :good: Trying to keep up with everything as always and get some coding done too! Busy time at the moment.

I'm looking at the memory management of the application now, which involves me rebuilding it step by step to see what's going on. When I get to each stage, I'll fix the little problems on the list, such as alarms times by time etc etc etc!

I best get on with it!

FWIW I use Ivona so the voice sounds great whether offline or online.

I just can't stand the Google voice engine, still sounds too much like pico to me when even when I'm online.

I have heard that Ivona takes a lot longer to initialise but I'm just not experiencing that problem at all. Must just be lucky I guess. :D

[Android Apps and Games] yoni45:
So, this might be me, but I've ready the tutorial and about 10-20 pages of this thread going back, and didn't find anything so... ^_^

When making a custom command, is there any way to dynamically pass parameters to activities? I know that when I choose an activity I can long-press it to pass parameters, but those have to be hardcoded into that command. Is there a way to formulate custom commands along the lines of "Set an alarm for (+paraHours) (+paraMinutes)", and then pass those parameters into the activity?

Or can that only be done with the default commands at the moment?

I was thinking perhaps doing it with tasker, but it looks like that only works via tasker initiation? That is, Tasker calls Utter for specific use which picks up utterance and uses it. There isn't a way to initiate a command through Utter to pass parameters to Tasker?

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.1] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Are you holding the device when you ask questions? There's an issue when laying flat on a surface where the vibration is causing this problem.

You can also make sure you have the latest version of Google Voice Search.... Something like 2.4.1 installed and try again. You may have to reboot and then enable "visual results" in utter and make sure it's hearing your commands.

NICE, NICE, NICE. GREAT IDEA!

Agreed this is a good idea. I would think that Ben has a pretty good sized list and can maybe transfer that data to say a Google Doc or something where it can be viewed by everyone. The thread is fine, we just need something that will allow quick viewing, otherwise we'll get a lot of duplication because not every user is going to read every thread to check for "their" feature request.

i.e.-so as an example we should have...

1. Calendar-speak input fields and populate per user

2. Alarms-ability to set alarms in the future

a. Ability to say "set alarm for 830a.m." instead of saying minutes and hours

3. ?????

The more we can pin down the requests, the less time we have to spend detailing our needs and wants.

We do need something to that people can look at to see if what they want utter to do is on the list before requesting it.

As this post has grown, we are seeing the requests for the same stuff over and over again. (Which will only get worse the more popular utter becomes).

Whether this is on this post or on another post with a link to it doesn't really matter so long as it is easy to find no matter what page in this post you enter at. May be a link to it on Ben's signature or something.??

A link to it from the play store would also be helpful as users can look and see what is intended in utter for the future.

I got to admit, I am curious what is actually on the list as there will be suggestions sent direct to Ben that we don't know about.

Is the wolfram alpha app needed, in order for utter to do calculations and most other fact searches?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Utter can perform simple calculations and searching using Google, Yahoo, whatever is available anytime. You DO NOT need Wolfram for that.

If you're a trivia type of person or someone needing complex mathematical functions then Wolfram is good for that. Getting ANY voice assisted app however to express a complex mathematical formula is gonna be tough and I would recommend of course manual entry for that type of stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
In Customisation - edit :)

It's coming soon with Tasker integration - just waiting for the developer to respond to my post - Think he's busy with his Holo update!

This is coming in the next couple of releases - I'm changing many root features and this will be one of them.

I'm hoping so! I haven't had a chance to look at this yet though. I guess I need to install another language and then track down the file by filtering by most recent - On the list to do! Would be great if we can get it working on restricted devices.

This is on the list and a very popular request. I saw a post somewhere that 4.2.2 is getting the Google Voice texts in the native app?? Can anyone confirm? If so, I might be able to jump on this feature or use an element of it.

That's a shame - thanks for doing that. It would help un-clutter the thread if there was somewhere users could go to post and vote on their suggestions.

If a MOD reads this - being able to edit a poll would be very useful! <----------------------------- :good:

Not sure if this is possible - I'll add it to the list!

If you have Wolfram Alpha installed, any 'define +word' or 'question +anything' or 'calculate +complex stuff' will bring up the visual results in the WA app - As yet, I can't access the data to speak it. In talks with them about the cost for this. Want it to be free, but looking unlikely...

http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/02/android-neural-network/

Using a neutral network certainly explains why it gets better over time, but I'm not sure if they could cram the whole thing into the offline voice recognition.
