Utter maybe issue??

First off, this is THE MOST INCREDIBLE APP I HAVE TRIED!!!!

I was a BIG user of EVA, but there were numerous issues, so I had to look for another one, and Utter is it!!!

I have it installed on a Samsung Charge, its been working GREAT!!! But, last night, 16 May 2013, "she" stopped talking. In addition, the notification voice stopped as well, in other words when I would get a text message, "she" used to announce the name, now nothing. Just to keep things clear, I do have all my other system sounds, it appears that anything associated with Utter and the voice system has stopped. I use SOX for my voice system.

The only thing I had changed at all was I hooked up my Google music to the account.

I'm not sure if this is an issue, but to check things out, I am going to wipe out my phone and USB storage, and will reinstall everything. I will provide an update as to if this wipe and reinstall worked.

Again INCREDIBLE APP....DUDE YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!!!

The wake-up phrase seems to only work for a small amount of time. The wake-up active notification is visible on my Nexus 4. My wake up phrase, "Nexus", seems to only work for a short amount of time after using utter! Anyone experiencing the same thing? Let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
It's complicated because the wake up phrase is on a loop that runs continuous and can time out so to speak, an issue with Google. It's not a fault of the app and of course the dev. is waiting on a solution from Google.

Why don't you try clearing the app data first for utter. Set up again and see if it happens again?
[Android Apps and Games] Ken C:
I think Ben caught it in the last update from the Playstore. I had set it to auto update. (Though I am partial to getting my updates before the store lol..silly but true) noticed when I tried the email so I could honestly answer the question. So that can be scratched off the bug list.

problem with "complex calculations"

I've been using utter since they first beta released on the Play Store. The initial version supported complex calculations just fine. (e.g., calculate the height of Barack Obama plus the height of the Washington monument) Using all interim releases from this forum and the latest beta from the Play Store, I always get "complex calculations disabled message". I'd there a setting to enable this feature? I have a paid version of Wolfram Alpha installed.

Loving utter!

Utter + Tasker Pluggin Examples Needed

I'm ready to start creating Tasker Tasks to work with Utter. I am not prepared with enough examples or howto's to get myself started. Can I ask for a general donation of working examples? possibly even a example written from scratch for beginners to wrap their heads around this? This has to be one of the most exciting new features and hope to see a lot of users helping other users in this area.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
A lot of us use tasker and examples I'm sure will be shared. Each version of android works a little differently and rooted vs non rooted.

Don't be afraid to start creating your own tasks and profiles as it will help with other people's work.

The best way to learn tasker is to use it. The wiki, somewhat outdated will give you some really good examples to help you get moving.
[Android Apps and Games] solarbaby:
Thanks GLDavis I plan to do exactly as you say. I need a little help getting started and if someone is willing to help with this example I think I may be able to start figuring this puzzle out. Please though when describing how the below works be as thorough as possible, and then look again to try to determine if every new user will understand and be able to use this example.

I would like to see a simple example, for instance..

Person: "wake up"

Utter: "Hello How may I help you?"

Person: "AutoSync" <-- This is on the Tasker Wiki Step through page wikidot.com/autosyncwifionly. Great easy example!

Utter: "Auto Sync preference is wifi only. You are now connected to Home Network. Starting Sync."

From what I've read about AutoVoice over at Google Play Store it allows me to chain commands together and on top of that use a BT headset. I see Brandall is kicking ass on the BT department, but can I chain a command with utter? so now lets replace this..

Person: "AutoSync" with Person: "AutoSync and turn off wifi"

can this be done with out using AutoVoice? can this be done completely using utters fantastic use of offline voice recognition?

I did my best to keep this simple in hopes that one of you would spend a few minutes and write up the profile and export it, explain how it works and offer it as a example for people like me to begin with.

Many Thanks in advance and Thanks to Brandall and his helpers and all the Beta Testers. I am glad to join in on this happy party.

So, I just happen to come across this new free alternative to Tasker and thought of mention it here. It's called Profile Flow and looks pretty promising.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2275691

What do y'all think? Maybe it can be integrated to work with utter! in the same way Tasker does, for those who would prefer a free/simpler solution. Would this be pretty easy to integrate, Ben?

Offline Utter in ICS

Dear brandall,

thank you for your great work with utter! I am looking forward to an international version (Spanish) and I would be willing to help.

I have a question. Could you disable the limitation "Jelly Bean only" in Settings > Google Synthesised Voice to allow this option in other systems?

I am running ICS with a Google Now version that allows offline recognition.

Initially from a custom ICS ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41330348&postcount=816

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41309986&postcount=806

But now I am using the modified GN from reekotubbs, MikeyXda, Lenny Kano & co.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224

I am able to use offline the dictated input in several languages, and to so some call actions with Google Now.

With Utter I keep receiving the same answer:

"I lost the network connection" (after listening to what I had to say)

Is this because the option "Google Synthesised Voice" is not selected?

Naturally, when I tap on it says "your device is not running Jelly Bean"!

Is it possible to lift this restrition in an experimental version to test in ICS devices like mine?

Thank you again!

Default Explorer

Hi,

Firstly thanks for this wonderful program.

Would like to make a small request. For the "Default Explorer" Setting, can you include X-plore File Manager? It is almost like Solid Explorer but free, and I am surprised it is rather low profile among Android users.

Hope to see this added. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] jotters:
Hey, just switched to a rooted Nexus and enjoying all the cool features of Utter! again... including offline VR. Very happy :laugh:

Also noticed a tab called 'interaction level' in the power user options. Are we getting the interaction that you see in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUI5MIMCTSI Would be very cool.

Keep up the good work! :good:

on a side note, when i command "open utter", she doesn't understand me. When I ask "what app am i using", she responds with "me" Does Utter know her own name? (I now open utter by saying "linked applications")
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
It doesn't quite understand its own name which has kinda been joked about before. Anyway a custom command with something easily recognized would solve that problem.
[Android Apps and Games] jotters:
Of course: I can now say "open yourself"

Do you mean, that if I say "open utter" right, and google voice search understands me, utter will open, or is it a 'bug' in utter?
[Android Apps and Games] dj_ivocha:
Offline voice search?

Hello, I'm not sure if that was asked before, but isn't utter! supposed to work offline too now? I've only started using it recently, but as I understand it, up until a few months ago you needed to be online so it can use Google Voice Search. According to an article on Talkandroid (can't post links since I'm a new user, sorry) from a few months ago, it should work offline too now, shouldn't it? Because for me it doesn't - if I go offline and I try to ask it something, it always says "there was a speech server error".
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Not a bug. It's not being returned by the Google servers correctly since it's not a very common word that's all.

Update on Utter and loss of voice

I looked for the cache to clear out, and I cleared out what I thought was the right one.

No change, still no voice or system voices. System sounds, yes, no voice.

I wiped out the phone and SD card and reinstalled everything.

IT WORKS!!!!

Not sure what it was yet, but if it happens again, I will post more on it. Getting ready to install Utter on a Motorola Droid X for my son.

[MENTION=5224857]dj_ivocha[/MENTION]

Let me clarify some points for you.

- If you are on Jelly Bean, you are able to download files for "offline voice recognition". You can select which languajes you want in Settings > Personal > Languaje and input > Keyboard and input > Google voice typing.

After downloading and rebooting, you should be able at least to dictate to your phone. (Go to notes, and activate the mic, by the keyboard there).

Afterwards, Utter should be able to perform simple tasks offline, like answering to "what's the time?".

- Obviously, "searchs" can not be performed offline, as the databases are "out there".

- Please let me know if the setting I mentioned in my previous post today ("Google syntesised") activates/deactivates the offline possibility for you.

- If you are not on Jelly Bean, you are out of luck. You can still install the files (look at my previous post) but Utter wont allow you to activate the mode. (At least until Brandall reads my post and decides to give us a try).

I hope this is useful for you.

[MENTION=554196]abcdabcd1[/MENTION]

Thanks for the helpful post. First, some background info - my phone is a Huawei Y300, is my first smartphone and I've had it for a bit over a month now. It has Jelly Bean 4.1 and after reading your post, I seem to remember seeing such an option to download additional languages for the offline voice recognition. Unfortunately that option isn't there anymore, or at least I can't find it. In Settings -> Personal -> Language and Input -> Google Voice Typing -> Settings - there are two options there - Choose input languages (I can only select between automatic and manual for the various languages available, but it's just a checkbox with no button to actually download any selected language) and General -> Block offensive words. Also under Language and Input -> Voice Search there are 4 settings - Language (I can only choose one here as there are no checkboxes), Speech Output, Block offensive words, Bluetooth headset.

I do already have the English (US) offline data so when I set Voice Search to that, I can use utter! while offline, but the recognition is terrible since I'm not a native speaker and I've found that English (UK) works a lot better for me.

So the question is, where is the option to download additional offline voice data? My phone is rooted and I've disabled quite a few system apps, including most of the Huawei bloatware, as well as Chrome, google+, google play movies/books and the default android keyboard. I also have Swype installed but other than all that, I haven't really fiddled with my phone THAT much.
[Android Apps and Games] abcdabcd1:
[MENTION=5224857]dj_ivocha[/MENTION]

I am feeding you some tehnicities that I could find in my own struggle for offline recognition on Android 4.0.4 (ICS).

- The main app that allows offline recognition is that of "Google Now". Pay attention if you have not disabled this. The official name is:

com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

- There are 2 apps that appear as "Google Voice Typing" (Same name, very different apps) under keyboard and input. Interestingly they receive different names when translated to other languajes (at least in Spanish). Here you have the list of names in english, spanish, installed application (english/spanish), icon, and version number.

(You can obviously see that I have been struggling with this for hours)

Google voice typing - Dictado voz Google - Google search / Búsqueda de Google - [White lowercase g on blue background] - 2.0.0.392829 - THIS ALLOWS OFFLINE RECOGNITION

Google voice typing - Escrtura por voz de Google - Voice search / Búsqueda por voz - [microphone on grey background] - 3.0.1 - THIS DOES NOT ALLOW OFFLINE RECOGNITION

The first one, adds a google textbox to the homescreen.

Disable/Uninstall the second one if you have it.

Try updating the google search to the latest version.

You could also try installing this version Lenny-v4 from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224

(Beware, that is for ICS). That worked for me, as the other versions did not allow downloading either.

- Finally, where is the data stored? Here (at least in my Samsung Galaxy S Duos):

/data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/app_g3_models

I could copy files in and out of that folder and it would change the available languages.

The languages available for download are:

cnn-Hans-CN

cnn-Hant-TW

de-DE

en-AU

en-GB

es-ES

fr-FR

it-IT

ja-JP

ko-KR

nl-NL

pt-BR

ru-RU

yue-Hant-HK

Is any of these useful for you?

I ask you for a favor. Could you test on and off the utter option "Google Synthesised Voice" and tell me if it disallows your offline recognition (with the english option that you have enabled). Thanks.

Martin

[MENTION=554196]abcdabcd1[/MENTION]

I'll have a look at all that tomorrow since I have to go now, but it looks like it might help me with my problem. I'll post more after trying everything you've mentioned.

Turning it on and off doesn't make any difference - the offline recognition works either way. What IS that option for anyway? I've always wondered and couldn't see any difference with it on or off. One other thing - I have IVONA TTS so I don't use Pico. Maybe that has something to do with the above option?

I am confident that Brandall will clarify the questions.

[Android Apps and Games] lincthra:
Hello all,

I have been wracking my brain trying to come up with a way to use this (in possible combo with Tasker if needed) to control aspects of my Google TV (I have the old Logi Revue). I'd really love to be able to say "Wake up... mute tv" or "wake up....change to USA". Has anyone attempted this/had success with this/even have any ideas of how to get started?

Use the play store version. Better stats to problems, bugs, etc., for the developer.

No offline voice recognition

I have the same problem as gbossley. Here is the settings screen for google search. No option for downloading offline voice recognition. I got google search from the play store and updated to the latest. Is there someplace else I need to go?
[Android Apps and Games] lincthra:
For anyone interested, I managed to sort this out. I used GTV Tasker Plugin ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.entertailion.android.tasker ). That can control the Google TV box from Tasker, which unlocks the ability to run it from utter.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
That's great. Wouldn't have known about the plugin without your research.

I just downloaded the recent version of butter to give it a shot. Earlier versions did not do very well understanding me with the Google recognition. I find that Dragon recognition understands me very well.

So on this latest version, under recognition, I see a dragon Nuance listed. It always seems to allow me to do is do a sample of recognition, is her anyway that use that with your product?

I tried looking in the instruction user Manuels linking in the product and can't find anything oit.

I know it's impossible to keep documentation of current programming

[EDIT]

I just expanded the lookup window to full screen size, and more I see that it's a future add-on.

well thats strange . my google search version is 2.5.8.675703 .

i must admit that i did quite a bit of install , remove , install gapps from cwm recovery kungfu moves to a stage now where it works . because google is merging services in unified apps here and there it seems to be slightly messy. as stated in the faq's maybe deinstall google search and google voice search and only install search [the big file] ... sorry and good luck .

[Android Apps and Games] urbient:
18.xx mb on phone 12.xx mb in playstore :) . i have to say that the offline recognition works very well and in conjunction with the text-to-speech synthesis engine from google (not pico tts) its really sexy to work with speech . one question to the developer : is there a way to make the time between the wake-up and beeing ready for the command ,shorter ?
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
If I was to guess...I would say no, at least for now. When you initiate the wake up phrase, Utter connects to the Google Servers and that creates your lag.

As technology advances of course, then you will probably see a better response. Utter is so far advanced from say Google Now..ever see the lag time when using that? (have a cup of coffee, drive around the block, do some dishes) and by then you can ask your question..hopefully?

In a jolly mood today :silly:

[Android Apps and Games] lincthra:
Okay, so, I'm hoping the Dev is still around and sees this as I have a few suggestions. One possibility is a 'chain word'. Eg. If my chain word is 'and' (and if I intend to make sure I keep that word OUT of other commands), and I have an action programmed to the word 'down' and one programmed to the word 'right', perhaps I could say 'down and right'. The returned text from the engine could parse on the word 'and' so that it runs my 'down' action... pauses for a set amount of time, and then runs my 'right' action. There would be several uses for this. Another possibility or separate suggestion would be a 'stay on' mode. Eg. If my normal wake up phrase is 'wake up', there could be a separate command for 'wake and stay' like "hey phone". When coupled with a 'phone off' word to stop listening, I could achieve my previous example with something like: "hey phone.....[phone starts listening].... down....[phone runs down action, but then starts listening again]..... right....[phone runs right action, but then starts listening again].... phone off [phone stops listening]". This could go further even: "hey phone...... down and right and okay"/"hey phone..... down......... right...... okay..... phone off."

I have experienced this, yes.

Bluetooth Question

Hello to the masses this morning/afternoon/evening!

I purchased another BT headset that is A2DP compliant and it works well.

My question though is this....when I activate Utter by pressing the BT button, of course she speaks and I hear that fine.

When Utter pops up "I'm Listening" I DON'T always hear the "beep" that tells me that Utter is listening. For me it's kind of a random thing?:confused:

Sometimes it will be quite noticeable, other times I can barely hear the tone (especially) in a noisy environment and sometimes I don't hear anything at all.

Anyone else experience this?:fingers-crossed:

Would like to have a solid notification sound in my earpiece so I don't have to watch the phone or guess when to speak.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Milerpa:
Yes can confirm this :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Milerpa,

Thank you!!!

The tone will change sometimes on me....meaning that my volume will seem to get louder, but not as clear and the beep will be quite loud.

Then it can get softer and sound more natural, but I then lose the "beep" or it's very muted.

Is this what you notice as well?
[Android Apps and Games] Milerpa:
Yes same thing here, something for Ben to look at I think maybe on his to do list. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Thanks for confirming. Just trying to look for a pattern of some kind..but I can't attribute it to anything...just seems random.

Have a great day and thanks again! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] ewingr:
I've experienced this type of thing with other apps on BT. It seems like maybe there first has to be a handshake or something for the BT device to start really hearing, and that the Beep will have finished by the time the handshake 'wakes up' the BT set.

Not sure that is happening, but that is what it seems like.
