You can backup your "replacement words" in utter if you go to Customization, Export Commands. I'm not sure the Cloud backup is working yet, as that is probably meant to be used with utter's own server. The only way to back up utter with settings and everything, would be using a third-party app for that end, such as Titanium Backup (requires root).

Apparently, Google recognition will always hear "eight thirty" and similar as "8:30", and this colon seems to be the cause it won't be correctly added as a time (i've tested it with Set an alarm, and that gets me an alarm set at "30:00", night-time). This is obviously an error on the way utter handles the command when it includes a colon, sadly that's entirely on utter's side, so Ben will have to look at it to find a solution.

I hope you sent him the same kind of report to him :) Meanwhile, the only way this can work is using 8, 9, etc, as those times won't include a colon.. i've tried many ways to express the time and it seems utter can't handle stuff like "at half past eight" either, so you'll have to wake up half an hour earlier.

I'm not the developer so I can't answer all of your questions but i can hint you on some, let me go one by one...

1) You can change the wake-up answer, go to utter settings, and swipe once to the right, there you have wake-up configuration where you can set a replacement for "Wake up" and the answer Utter gives.

2) That sounds good, but it's not worth the log, as you can see, Utter already stores whatever she says in a sort of cache, so probably just keeping any errors from being stored there is enough.

3 - 4) I don't see why people want to chat with their phones... I've tested a few times and can't get to call with the speaker on, so it's probably not added yet.

5) This hasn't been implemented as an utter's feature (and I don't know if it ever will) but it can be done with tasker, it's been mentioned several times on the thread.

6) Have you tried setting Waze, etc, as the default app in your phone? I had Maps frozen and the "navigate to" didn't work, but i don't have an alternative option so I don't know if Maps is the only app it would work with.

7) Whenever you say "I've parked my car" utter stores your current location as the parking location, after that, if you ask where's your car, it will say the location it stored previously.

8) I think this one would depend on the way TuneIn works, as it might require the developers to aid Ben with the integration of the commands.
[Android Apps and Games] pgregory9:
I guessed that was probably the situation. I tried "half past", etc. as well. Until it's fixed, I'll just say the hour and edit the minutes when it pops up! I WILL NOT get up early!!!

I did send Ben an email via utter's "Send Feedback". Immediately got an automated reply to try here b/c of the huge volume of emails he gets. Hopefully this will make his radar--likely an easy fix.
[Android Apps and Games] dabotsonline:
Thank you for your detailed responses, [MENTION=4690266]faku1810[/MENTION] . I succeeded in customising the Wake-Up answer. (I recommend "Yeahs?" to people, as "Yes?" cuts off a little sharply.)

The use case I was thinking of is if you have the phone on a charger and you're walking around the room tidying, you might want to multitask by making - as well as simply receiving - a call on speakerphone even though your hands are tied up with cleaning. [MENTION=984710]brandall[/MENTION] , any thoughts on this?
[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
Well, what I'm doing right now is copying the entire Utter folder from /system/storage/sdcard0 to my external card. Then copying it back after a full-wipe & ROM flash. This does retain some settings it seems. Including my custom commands, thankfully. I have not worked with Utter enough yet to know if anything is being lost this way.

A Titanium Backup was not working well at all for Utter. Most or nothing was being restored.

It would be nice if an app this extensive in configuration would have a more dedicated backup feature. But hey, it's a free app and it's already so crazy complicated feature-wise that it must be a nightmare to dev for.

kitkat contacts

When using Utter! with kitkat, voice dial commands only shows the respective contact's card without dialing the contact. The message received is: Sorry, that contact does not have any numbers listed. For some reason, the listed numbers are not recognized by Utter!

Thank you for this great app!
[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
Hey guys, I discovered a possible bug, or more likely, something just not designed correct?

Utter seems to be working fine with regular Bluetooth.

However, it is NOT working with APTx Bluetooth. Utter can hear me, but it can't talk. No TTS output at all over ATP-X Bluetooth connections. Only regular A2DP Bluetooth.

Is it possible to route the TTS audio properly?
[Android Apps and Games] Mugga:
Hey guys,

Is it possible to do a specific task in tasker when the listening is completed? What I want to do is, sending an intent to another app when tasker is start listening and afterwards.
[Android Apps and Games] InfraBlueAndroid:
About Utter!'s "Send to Tasker" action, how does that work?
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
I don't think neither is possible at the time but letting tasker know when it's done with listening would be really helpful, also, bluetooth has been said to be a work in progress since there's too much documentation to go through, and with so many different protocols it must be a hard task for the dev.

I would guess that something in android 4.4 changed regarding the way the contact's numbers are stored, this won't be an easy task to solve since it would require that Ben looks at kitkat and see what changed and how to solve it in a way that wouldn't break the way it works in previous android versions.

Utter has a extensive list of commands that you can say and the app will carry out; however, you can use Send to Tasker to give commands that aren't in that list, and make tasker interpretate them and carry out tasks according to keywords found in the voice data. You should read Ben's explanation on the Tasker plugin post, as the Receiver Project is available there for download, and is the best way to start taking advantage of this new functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] Mugga:
I kind of found a little workaround, playing with the notification function. But what I actually wanted to achieve with this, didn't worked:crying:

I don't get it why you can't just choose an external mic as input for android voice control, I really hope that Google is gonna fix this sometime, or the dev of utter! finds a workaround.

[Android Apps and Games] remidesroques:
Maybe this has been posted before I don't know. I realized that when utter is switching to Google now when it doesn't understand a command, it is not the actual full on Google now. What I mean is if you use Google now from the beginning and hit the mic and say for example text message somebody + message , after that you will be prompt if you want to send it or not however if I do the same thing triggering it from utter, it goes to Google now but I'm not getting prompted and I have to hit the send button. I didn't even know it would prompt me until I used Google now only to check out something.
[Android Apps and Games] davidrol:
Doesn't work on jelly bean for me either. I'm using the standard dialer, a 10 digit format (phone numbers) sent to an asterisk server. Asterisk add +1 per google voice requirements.

Utter! Doesn't recognize the phone numbers listed with contacts.

Memotion - NEW APP TESTING!

Hey folks, hope you are all keeping well

Firstly, sorry for my absence from here, normal business will be resumed now I've completed the beta version of Memotion.

I'm just about to start a new thread here on XDA explaining what the app is all about, I'll come back and link to it shortly, in the mean time, to get involved in the beta testing you'll need to join this Google Group.

Once I push the release to the Play Store, you'll have access to the download link. Only members of the group will be able to view the link.

Thanks in advance for wanting to be involved! I wouldn't have gone anywhere near here if it wasn't for your testing skills and support.

Cheers

Ben

Will we be abel to get an idea of what it is or does before joining the group? ( or did I miss that post ) I'm willing to test if it's something I would or will use.

Question

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, but searching doesn't bring up much to go on. Using utter on my phone works flawlessly, but on my tablet (samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0) I cannot use utter with a wired headset. The program works fine if no headphone is hooked up, and works fine with a bluetooth headset, but if I plug in a wired headset, everything (utter, music) plays through the headphones until she starts listening. After that no sound comes through the headphones. If I unplug them, it all goes back to normal. I thought this might be due to some apps (this tablet is a car install so there are some very specific apps loaded) so I tried it on my phone. Phone works just fine with a wired headset. It was on CM10, so I changed to a fresh slimbean install, and the same thing happens.

Is there something I'm missing? I don't know of anything off hand that the tablet hardware would be causing. And my phone is running CM10 as well.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] goughymachine:
Some guys in the tasker thread put me onto your app. What a great app so far. I've had fun playing around with it over the last few days, and some of the customisation ability is fantastic.

I was looking for something just for use while in car, and mostly to read my messages when they come in, but only if I want them read out. So far I haven't been able to get that to work. I'm using an s3 with latest stock 4.3. Whenever I ask it to read my last message it says it can't determine it. And if a message comes in it tells me who the message is from, but that the message content cannot be determined. I have the stock samsung messaging app, but use handcent as my default messaging app. I don't know if that has any affect on anything?

I also have the bug (I'm sure I read it somewhere in here, though can't find it again) where after closing utter, it seems to re-open. I was using tasker to turn utter on (using the profile Ben describes and command:2) while in my car and then an exit task that used command:4 to turn utter off, but it would generally restart itself. I then added a wait 8 seconds in tasker, and then ran the command:4 thing a second time to try and completely clear it out. Sometimes this worked, sometimes it would still open. I was also getting the situation that, even when finally completely off, if I got a message or some sort of notification (even Ti Backup notification) it would restart and read out that I received a notification, but that the notification content could not be determined.

The final issue I found had to do with the bluetooth connection in my car. I usually listen to the radio in my car and only have the bluetooth connected for voice, not media. If I used google now or s-voice it would switch my radio to Bluetooth Phone, and once I was finished with either it automatically switched back to my radio. But with utter, if I woke it and tried to do something, once I was finished it is staying on bluetooth phone rather than switching back to my radio. I had to manually switch the radio back to my station. Just thought I'd mention that.

I will certainly be keeping an eye on this thread, as you've put a lot of effort into this app and I love where you are going with it. I would love to find out why it can't read my message content or notifications, and if I could get it to turn off completely more successfully I would use it regardless. Thanks Ben.

ps - I've tried to import your tasker profiles for smsreceived etc, but for some reason tasker will not import them, and even if directed to the correct folder tasker just doesn't see them. If I can get that sorted I'll play with them too.

Great to hear that you are back! It would be very cool if you could look into a way for using bt-headset/bt-micro as input device for utter!. Because your app is so great for fixed tablet installations in a car, but to make it fully work when you are driving it would be great to use an external mic.

Gmail notifications

I love Utter! It's useful, fun, and I wonder how I ever lived without it. But I have a small request: with Gmail voice notifications switched on, when a new e-mail arrives Utter says something like "Another Gmail message has arrived. You now have 29 messages to read." I don't find this helpful, in fact it's rather dispiriting. Could we please have an option for Utter always to tell me who the message is from, and ideally to read the subject line.

Thanks, Phil

Offline voice recognition not working

I can't get Utter to work offline on my Huawei Ascend G300, running Android 4.0.4 (Infusion). I have downloaded and installed the Google language files for English (United Kingdom), but when I try to use Utter offline it always says "I've lost the network connection". What am I doing wrong?

wake mode

Hi, I know that you're not the dev of utter! but i was wondering if i could tell you a little about dragon mobile assistant (available in the U.S only) I like to try out the various assistants available to us and dragon assistant is quite interesting in the fact that the wake feature works flawlessly when streaming from spotify/google play music etc without the stop start that we get with utter and thought that you and ben might be able to find something within the app that you could implement within utter to solve the issue for us, i'm no developer and don't really know anything that's involved to make these apps work but thought i'd share with you just on the off chance, cheers

Hey folks,

Just came back to Utter after not using it for a while. I'm hoping to find out if something is possible - I'm looking to use an NFC tag in my car to set it to car mode when tapped. I'm planning on using Tasker to do this. I'm wondering if Tasker can change the wake up setting on Utter so that the voice activation wake up is switched on when in car mode?
[Android Apps and Games] meo007:
You can try nfc retag. I hope it helps

[Android Apps and Games] gfinockio:
The hardest part isn't having the NFC tag get picked up by Tasker - it's changing the "Wake Up" setting on or off through Tasker. Is that possible?
[Android Apps and Games] lightningdude:
You can have the tag trigger a task in which utter will start listening, then use the permanent recognition voice command. That's the best I could come up with.

Utter won't announce incoming calls

Ok, Utter novice here.

I would like to use Utter with my bluetooth car kit. (Motorola Roadster 2) in hands free mode. I have it set up and it seems to be working pretty well. I can toggle driving mode on. I initiate a call hands free. It will read me an incoming text and announce and read incoming text. What I can't get to work is to answer incoming calls. When calls come in on the phone, Utter will not announce them. The phone rings and Utter just ignores it.

What have I done wrong?

(Never mind. I finally found it in the menus. Duh.)
[Android Apps and Games] gfinockio:
When streaming audio, it seems that listening doesn't work. Either the audio is choppy, or the phone doesn't wake up. Is this a known issue?

Merry Christmas all... and may your hangovers be little ones.. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] faku1810:
It seems people is getting lazy about reading threads. Don't worry, I don't mean only you.

Tasker can activate the permanent recognition in the same task you use to activate car mode. Just use Send intent and fill the following fields:

Extra: command:2

Extra: password: **

Package: com.brandall.nutter

Class: com.brandall.nutter.EIH

Target: activity

** the password must be previously set in the power user settings inside utter.

Then regarding the audio, it's been explained that utter must apply a workaround to mute the beep that should constantly nag you because it pings google's servers when perm recognition is enabled. This doesn't work well with music (choppy, interruptions here and there), so utter disables perm recognition while playing music and should re-enable it on pause

This is not a bug, but expected behavior

[Android Apps and Games] Thwip:
You can do this with Tasker. I have Tasker enable speakerphone whenever my phone goes off hook.

Tip: On my S4 I need a 600ms delay between Tasker detecting off hook and doing speakerphone. On my RAZR I did not need a delay.
[Android Apps and Games] gfinockio:
Sorry - when a thread is over 100 pages long, it's certainly difficult to get caught up.

I find when I have Utter on, the perm recognition isn't disabled automatically. I have to turn it off.

If you want to go one post at a time it is difficult indeed, but "searching" in the thread helps a lot specially with stuff people ask about all the time. Anyways, please don't take any offense, it's just that there are more that 100 pages of the same questions asked..

Regarding your problem, it's kinda weird. I can think of a workaround using tasker to turn off perm recognition when %MTRACK is set,and re-enable it on exit. but that shouldn't be necessary

As for audio not playing correctly with wake-up phrases and I am sure this has been suggested;

Google Hangouts

Greetings, first of all, I am a new user of both this site and Utter! I am greatly enjoying them both. I searched the forum and couldn't find the exact issue I am looking to resolve. This probably reduces to a create command ineptitude. But I use Google Hangouts as my primary sms app. I would like to set up commands that essentially mimic the text messaging commands but open Hangouts instead. I have tried disabling the stock messager app but I cannot for some reason. I would love it if I could say something like "open hangout with Mitch" and have it open that conversation thread. Or if saying "send message to Mitch" would operate through hangouts instead of messenger.

Bluetooth headset connection comes in and out

During the tutorial, audio jumps back and forth from the bluetooth headset to the phone. I have tried restarting Utter with the headset in sync, and the behavior is the same. For example, at "My creator needs a few tips on formatting ...", a floating window pops up with some speech guides. At this point, the audio will always jump from the headset to the phone. I wanted to mention it in case it would help pinpoint the instabilities of bluetooth with the app.
