How can I create a custom command for setting up alarms.

I am the kind of person that needs to put up 6-7 alarms for anytime that I need to wake up and it's tedious work.

I was hoping that a custom command that listens to 2 time values and the difference between each alarm like 5 or 10 min

Can it be done ?

I was not able to do so in the custom commands section.

Any other voice recognition providers besides Google?
[Android Apps and Games] ralaud:
I think the developer is working on a version of Saiy without google dependencies, but I am not sure.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks. I actually searched the thread and at around page 806 he explains that for now he is using google mostly for its APIs, since it would take more time and resources to implement a version without google play services. I think that the first question in the FAQ also mentions this.
[Android Apps and Games] Joy Bangla:
[MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] I have been tinkering around and this apps seems legit. But i am having some confusion using custom commands with searchable apps. Cant seem to get it to work. Lets say I want to search reddit for cats just by saying the keyword 'reddit'. Can you direct me how? The dialog says Search on null after i create command
[Android Apps and Games] ralaud:
I found the github repo now ( https://github.com/brandall76/Saiy-No-PS ), he is planning a version without google dependencies.

Big thanks to [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] :)

I just installed this on my car's Android Head Unit, running Android 4, and on my phone running Android 5.

For some reason the voice recognition seems to timeout quicker than expected.

I can give it commands but i need to do it very quickly. Is there are way to adjust this ? I can't anything in the Saiy configuration.

[MENTION=9114457]raimon81[/MENTION] Check the settings. There is "recognizer busy fix" under "super user" settings.

Not sure if that will help you.

Based on what I read on stackexchange, there are a few bugs in Google now since version 5.11.34

I wonder if your problem is related. Maybe update you google app to the latest version ?

Hi [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] - My horoscope stopped working in the last few days, and it doesn't seem to come back ..and I missed it =/ can you help me?

I'm running a Moto X4 w/ Oreo 8.0, everything's up to date.. Fyi, it fails to retrieve ANY horoscope when I try to find my friends'-) ..so what's up with that? Any suggestions?-

The response that is typically received is,

"I'm sorry I'm having trouble retrieving your horoscope right now.."

For the past 48+ hours

- maybe I'm the only knucklehead who appreciates this cool little feature, but perhaps that's been the case for a long time with Utter and Saiy - people are sleeping on you - Thanks again- Cheers! ~Dr.ℤ⓵☯~

[MENTION=7377697]Dr.Z~[/MENTION], I just tried to get a horoscope and got the same response. So the problem is presumably with the horoscope provider and not on your side

Hey guys, the wake up saiy hotword isn't working on my phone. I installed Saiy from the play store running OP5T on Oxygen OS

Very sorry if this question has been asked before!:angel:
[Android Apps and Games] spocko:
I just discovered Saiy today. Kudos to the author, this is an impressive piece of work! I love the idea of having a voice assistant that is not harvesting my data for Google/Microsoft/etc.

My main use case for now is voice dialing. The Google app can handle that, but I'm looking for an alternative because the Google app will not do voice dialing unless you grant permission to collect a bunch of unnecessary data (I hate when Google does that!).

Saiy seems to handle voice dialing nicely when initiated from the phone, even when the data collection options are disabled in my Google account. Unfortunately I can't get Saiy to play nicely with my bluetooth devices. I did play with the bluetooth headset options and found setting that almost work (A2DP or SCO, Voice call, System 3), but still have 2 issues when triggering Saiy via the button on the bluetooth device:

1) The beep prompt is always played on the phone , not the bluetooth device.

2) The voice prompt is played partially or entirely on the phone before audio output is transferred to the bluetooth device.

I have a Proplantronics headset and a Scosche speakerphone, and they both behave the same. My phone is a Samsung Note 4 on stock MM 6.0.1. I don't have any bluetooth problems with either device if I use the Google app instead of Saiy.

Edit:

I also tested a LG V20 with stock android N and saw similar bluetooth issues.
[Android Apps and Games] jithan.k:
Am sorry if this is already available. What i wanna know is, is there an option to input multiple words using a seperator like ';' or ,'' while using 'nicknames' or 'replace words'. For example i wanna replace words with bro;brother:john...etc
[Android Apps and Games] pwag:
I have the same issue. So do you by chance have Google now disabled?
[Android Apps and Games] jithan.k:
Whenever am driving and wanna attend to a meeting, i initiate saiy and it does it pretty good in connecting me into the meeting. But before the meeting i use saiy to "remind me when it is 5.55", but rather than announcing the time, it creates an alarm. Am just expecting saiy to remember and announce the time. Any options available already or any thoughts
[Android Apps and Games] whitedavidp:
have had and reported almost identical issues on my phones using a Plantronics M50. I have since gone back to Utter which is not perfect but better in this regard.

Thank you - still not working; hopefully this will be remedied @ some point soon- I miss this feature.. ?

Fyi - as a sort of clunky interim work around, you can point your browser to findyourfate.com, find your sign's daily horoscope there & copy it to your clipboard, then have Saiy read it from there. Yes, it's wonky - but in lieu of this feature actually functioning.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Android Apps and Games] saken.sf:
Just to say HUGE THANK YOU [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION]! This is freaking awesome! I'm so happy, I have installed this on my car head unit (ATOTO A6) and it works wonderfully! Still exploring but the fact that I now can trigger calls by voice it's huge for me, the customization is so amazing and useful! Thank you again!
[Android Apps and Games] panman1964:
I'm using Saiy on my Planet Gemini (its now one of the supported options for the Gemini Voice Assistant/Silver Button) along with Google Assistant(GA) .

Given the Gemini has no external screen (when closed up) its great being able to get things like battery level etc and overall Saiy seems initally a million times better than GA.

One little thing (and this may just be me) but how the hell can I set the media volume?

With GA I could jsut say "Set volume to x% and the volume would be set appropriately.

Again given the Gemini has no external volume controls this was/is a really useful feature

NB am aware that potentially I could look at using Tasker to achieve this with Saiy

[Android Apps and Games] Cythen:
Hi, I was wondering if somebody could help me. I've been trying to add a custom command that allows Saiy to skip the song i'm currently listening too. I created a Tasker task which skips the song, and created a custom command which is supposed to run that task, but everytime I use it nothing happens. I checked and Saiy says Tasker is linked and external access is checked on Tasker. I'm on android 7.0 and am using Saiy v.1.4.7 and Tasker v5.2.bf1 is that helps.

Hello

just noticed a critical setting to enable saiy, somewhat buried. I am on Xperia z3 compact so menus may vary:

(I had to search 'voice' in settings, I could not see the following just by entering settings menu)

then >

assist & voice input > assist app (switch assist app from 'Google' to 'Saiy')

then it works. found this purely by chance otherwise couldn't use Saiy.

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

I also realised to activate hotword detection, you first need to say to Saiy 'start listening', then the Saiy icon appears the the icon bar in addition to the notification turning from blue to grey.

This works fine, except it doesn't seem to notice me speak when I have music playing. Is it possible for Saiy to listen for 'wake up Saiy' whille I'm listening to music?

This would allow me to instruct it plays something different while I'm driving.
[Android Apps and Games] regor99:
try alexa - its an option in the app - it works really well - handles queries just the same as the home app - and you can create and edit lists just by speaking - create calendar entries far superior than saiy or utter
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Hi folks, the next release is going to be delayed :(

I've hit a brick wall with the Tasker tab...

To summarise: if a new Tasker user decides to install Tasker via utter!, the Tasker permissions are not detected because Tasker is installed AFTER utter! It's a stupid Android limitation...

PLEASE can you star this issue - there's no need to comment on it, a star will do to escalate it.

It's taken me ages to get my head around what the problem was, so, now I have, I'm back working on getting it released!

I could do with a nap though... :eek:

Ah, I think ive seen the same thing with the Zoom Widgets app. That app handles it with a user notification explaining the situation and then suggests that the user uninstall and reinstall the app. Not necessarily elegant, but it does at least address the issue.

Agreed.

Thanks x 3 !!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Pooh religion! It might catch on.

I have been working on a successor to (n)utter!. It's labouring under the working title of 'Bottom'. It is basically a total kang of (n)utter! but the user controls their device with their mind.

Early tests are going well. I can turn the screen off using nothing more than my mind!! All I have to do is to stare really hard at the screen for about 60 seconds and it goes black.

I have decided to give the user options however. If they don't want to concentrate for 60 seconds, all they have to do is to go into display settings and set screen timeout to 30 seconds and then it works much faster for them.

I thought that this would be a useful addition as in testing this morning, I was thinking so hard about turning the screen off that I nearly pooped myself.

Very nasty!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
LOL! That's it... (n)utter development is abandoned!! I can't compete with that...

Although, now I'm thinking, if I just got utter to say "please use your phone", and that was it, it would certainly minimise resource...

I'm going back to the drawing board... (my etch-a-sketch)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Update

Hi folks, quick update - the developer of Tasker has updated the tools available for utter! to interact with it. That's great news :D

It does mean however, that a lot of what I've written up until now, is pretty much redundant! Need to reconstruct it with the new tools and I'm determined to get it out for you to test in 28 hours time!

The above is estimated upon the time I will fall asleep at my laptop.

Right, I need a coffee just thinking about it...

[Android Apps and Games] DrWu:
I have Saiy v1.4.7 and Google Now v7.3.25.21 installed on LineageOS 14-20181207 (Android v7.1.2) on an HTC M8. When I try to start Saiy it throws the error SpeechRecogizer.ERROR_AUDIO and halts.

I deleted the data and cache from Saiy but that didn't help. (FWIW) I also checked the last hundred or so lines in 'dmesg' and didn't see anything I recognized as relevant.

Anybody recognize the error, or know how it might be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] clewis.it:
Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you are using an older version of Google?

I think I would recommend deleting and then reinstalling Google.
[Android Apps and Games] DrWu:

... unnhhhhhh .....

.....ID10T error?

I thought I had downloaded that file straight from the google store. I'm not sure what app is was but I don't think it was even google now.

Anyway, I installed a proper copy of google now and that got me into the app, but apparently I also have some outdated dependencies, play store and the like. So thanks for spotting my screw-up and I'm off to sort through the other.
[Android Apps and Games] clewis.it:
No worries. Normally it shouldn't be a problem. I run a 5.something version because it works with MicroG while the newer versions don't. I was just curious if there was a specific reason.

If it still gives you problems, the only other thing I can suggest is opening google and hitting the mic button to make sure it gets the microphone permission. Then it should work with saiy.

Anyone know how I can customize or change the wake up command of "wake up saiy" to something like "wake up Jarvis" or just 'Jarvis"?

I don't see anything in the settings to customize that. I tried using the word replacement and replacing "wake up saiy" with "Jarvis" but no go.

I think you have to actually wake it up first before it starts using word replacements.

I remember I could customize that in Utter, and may well go back to using the old Utter just for that feature if there is no fairly easy way to customize it in Saiy.

Setup Issue

I know Saiy is in a semi questionable place right now, but I'm hoping someone still checks this thread. ^ I'm trying to implement Tasker turning on and off recognition like in the above example and I followed the guide from the start of this thread, but I have no idea how to set up a password in Saiy I dont see the option under the SuperUser menu anywhere.

Right now all I have in my tasker task is:

A send intent action:

extra-> command:2

Package-> com.brandall.nutter

Class-> com.brandall.nutter.EIH

Everything else has been left blank and the task doesn't seem to actually do anything at all, I assume I need a password in the second extra slot but I'm not sure, and I'm not really sure what the package and class stuff is either do I need to download a package into Tasker for this? If so which one? If anyone reads this any help or advice would be much appreciated

Kickstarting Offline Mode

Hi everyone,

I use SAIY for a lot of personal information: notes, schedules, SMS etc. I have been working on getting it to work offline without success for over a month now. Today I accidentally discovered that I can kick start the offline mode by running a flow in Automate that uses the voice recognition while offline. Offline voice recognition works perfectly in airplane mode after that, but this needs to be performed every time I restart SAIY.

So far it works perfectly, and I will be rooting the phone so that I can permanently disable the google packages from ever connecting to the internet, so I am hoping that this solution will be universal. I am curious to know if this works for anyone else. I am new to xda (and programming altogether - I have started learning to write code so I can work on this project) and I am very interested in working on this project as my skills improve.

Relevant info:

Automate flow: Start, Speech recognition, and Toast show. The speech recognition tile is set to the Free Form language model and Prevent Network Requests.

I am using a SAMSUNG A10 running Android 9 Pie.

Google offline languages installed: English (UK) - Ver 201, English (US) - Ver 310
