Hey,

i need to send an intend to utter from tasker to start listening (and stop listening)

how should the Action line look like?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Robles23:
No further development?

Howdy guys! Does anybody know why this app has not been updated?

When I visit the Google Play store it appears that the last update it received was on September 23, 2013

Anybody knows if progress will stop for this app?

The developer is working on a couple of other projects that he hopes to integrate into Utter! soon. It's very much still alive, it's just he has a lot on his plate right now. Be patient, great things are coming.

Uninstall Google Search. Do not update it until either Google or brandall fixes things.

Uninstalling Google Search only removes updates to Google Search

Interesting bug

I've used Utter about a year ago and it was neat, but didn't provide the few features I really wanted at the time. Checking it out last night I found it was massively improved and I have to say I'm quite impressed! It even has the few features I wanted (Telling me the time and reading aloud notifications).

I downloaded Utter! last night on my new Samsung Galaxy S3 which is also linked to my Galaxy Gear (1st Gen) smartwatch.

So here's the bug: Utter listens and speaks through the Gear.

And in classic Microsoft fashion I would say "that's not a bug, it's a feature," but I'd like to have control over that. I don't want to disable my Gear just to talk to Utter via the handset, but I might want to use the Gear as an intermediary later.

As a side note the first syllable is spoken over the phone, not the Gear in these conditions; but that might be a side effect of Ivona.

My Gear is rooted with a custom rom, but I doubt that's causing the issue. But that does lead to my next bit: It'd be really awesome if you made a widget I could put on my Gear to activate Utter! on the phone, and maybe even pipe it through the Gear at that time since I'm accessing it via the Gear.

Ugh... And while writing this, I got a call and Utter! interrupted twice... I suspect it was a shake sensitivity. Can you please add a toggle to keep Utter inactive while a phone call is occurring?

Update: Even with my headset plugged in to use like I normally do with a lot of my other stuff, Utter ignores the headset and still pipes in over the Gear. Also it only listens via the Gear too.
[Android Apps and Games] boldvishal:
Uninstalling Google search is not an option as it is to be used for lot many activities. Fixing Utter to suit to the latest version of Google search should be the solution.

Brandall - expecting an update soon.

NIce but still no polish voice rec. not included and its work very good in autoVoice tasker plugin + google api. another think I have galaxy gear and my phon was on silent mode utter speak trough my watch its cool to make commands and recive it by gear.

Could someone kindly post a link to the latest test release? Thank you.

[Android Apps and Games] napster100:
Great app!

Thanks for making this app! I've been using it for..... Well not even once day and I'm impressed! Though as an added feature I was thinking you could use the remote control by emails too, so that it would only read emails that has the subject line of utter! To activate it, this would be extremely useful for tablets too such as my Hudl I'm using now.

Hope this inspires a new feature :)
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
@brandall

Anyone know of a way to disable the "IN CALL" voice recognition feature: (Answer/Reject)...that happens during an incoming call? It seems to answer calls even if I mumble. (eg... Being new, instead of saying REJECT, I said "end call" and it thinks I said "answer")

BTW, I don't have the WAKE UP service enabled and the UI is generally hibernated via Greenify or killed...unless I am changing settings.

Wickedly cool app btw! :good::good::good:

EDIT: Found it. I disabled "Voice Command for Apps", in my rom settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Inane_Asylum:
Holy hell, I just installed this app, and I am loving it. If I were able to help at all, I'd jump all over it...

I don't know if it's been requested before, but if there could be an option to enable "always listening" while charging, I think that would be a help for people with battery problems but would like it enabled while driving or at their desk, etc.

Thanks for this app, it's friggin' awesome.

Edit: My wife said I'm not allowed back in the house until my phone stops asking me "What's crackalackin', yo?" This is officially my new favorite app...
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
Maybe it can be done with Tasker.

Probably. I'm trying to hold off rooting for as long as I can, though...I just got this phone last week. I'll experiment on my old GS2.
[Android Apps and Games] lightningdude:
Tasker doesn't require root for this. You have to play with it a little, though. Make it start listening, then you can activate permanent recognition with a voice command. Then deactivate it with the voice command when done.
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
Can't get Tasker to send intent to enable Permanent Recognition

I'm a very experienced Tasker user.

This is the code I am using (copied from another post and cross checked)

Extra: command:2

Extra: password: **

Package: com.brandall.nutter

Class: com.brandall.nutter.EIH

Target: activity

NOTES:

- accessibility is enabled for Utter

- password is set and reset twice

- pkg was installed as com.brandall.nutter-1, so I modified the Tasker "Package and Class" to have the "-1" suffix...no luck.

- converted Utter package to System, so the package now appears as com.brandall.nutter, and I changed the Tasker code back to reflect this.

- tried manually launching TASK within Tasker

- tried using a profile in Tasker to initiate task when a charging or power state was triggered. The profile clearly initiates, but the task fails.

UPDATE: Actually, it doesn't matter anymore. Permanent Recognition, even when manually initiated, is not functioning well on my rom. If I don't say "Wake UP" within a bout a 10 second period, it no longer seems to respond to the command. It also seemingly randomly BEEPS for input while I am doing other things on my device. Seems flaky. It could be some incompatibility with my rom or apps installed etc. I am fine with manual initiation.

[Android Apps and Games] markworksfx:
What I'm saying is that something in google now or google voice search breaks continuous voice recognition the latest update makes it beep so if you go to manage apps and uninstall the update it will stop beeping then go to the settings in playstore and change apps not to auto update this fixes the problem

I'm having a heck of a time. I use ICS, and have an ICS custom Google Now mod. I removed it, and things got weird. I need to try an find the original Google Search for my rom. A backup saved me last night. Google search/Voice Search/Google Now...a bit confusing. Even if I get permanent recognition to work consistently...the original issue remains...that I can not enable/disable it via tasker intents.

Thanks for you suggestions. I will report back if I get results.
[Android Apps and Games] BuffMcBigHuge:
Does anyone experience a delay when using utter? I get the delay at first launch, and subsequent actions respond quicker.

I also get different voice engines for the intro, sometimes in low quality british english for no reason.
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
I can give you a RIGHT answer. but at one point I was experiencing similar. I was messing around with different versions of Google Search and Google Now and I am not sure what was going on. But, I know that this app relies on or piggy backs with Google. At this point, I don't even care. But to get the voice consistent, I made changes inside the app as well as in my rom's settings/languages etc. I believe the nicer voice is the Google Synthesized Text to speech output.
[Android Apps and Games] tonhuelos:
I recently found Utter and loved it, as long as I wasn't in my car. The bluetooth connectivity is a real issue as the reason to use apps like this is hands free driving. Once bluetooth is connected you often won't hear the opening greeting "how can I help" so you have no idea it is listening for a command. It also cuts off the end "ok" or which ever end greeting you receive. This only happens on bluetooth. Occasionally you get the ambient noise message too. If it were to work in the car over bluetooth as it does on speaker phone in my quiet living room I would give you 10 thumbs up as it would be the best voice command app on the market. Hope this is something that can be fixed. And a side note, not a big deal, with the custom voice commands when you make one to make a call it does not say the successful or failure confirmation words.
[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
This has nothing to do with Utter. Unfortunately, it's an issue inherent to how Android handles Bluetooth and speech.

I have the same issue with any TTS apps I use, such as navigation.

But if you're constantly sending audio over Bluetooth, such as playing music, then the voice should come through without any issues. From start to finish.

I've been thinking of looking for an app that will constantly send silent audio over Bluetooth when charging, so there will never be any start issues.
[Android Apps and Games] tonhuelos:
That's strange because I use, have used, other apps that do no experience this problem. For example I use an app called read it to me (ReadItToMe) available at the play store to read my sms messages when they arrive and have it set to only read over bluetooth. It works fine. I have also tried other assistants including the preload of cyberon on my phone. For various reasons I did not like them however the bluetooth function works fine. It would be a shame if this was not a fixable problem because as I said, this is a great app short of that problem.

Moto x

Ive been a user of utter for quite some time on my various devices but I stopped using it when the recognition beep bug appeared after the Google search update but I have since purchased a moto x and combined with the Ok Google now trigger intent xposed module I can now activate utter from anywhere by voice even with screen off and my battery life isn't affected! Glad to be back using utter
[Android Apps and Games] artouiros:
it is one of the best apps ive installed on my phone. totally awesome
[Android Apps and Games] tonhuelos:
I am in no way an app builder or know anything about it. On looking into my apps that are working on bluetooth I noticed the functionality of the audio is played through ringtone volume or notification volume. Utter uses media volume. Not sure if this info would help in fixing the bluetooth issue but figured I'd post it up.

[Android Apps and Games] Jon_Shafer:
Many thanks to Brandall for creating such a handy tool! I just had a quick question for utter! power users.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to disable the announcement of notifications through Tasker or a similar program? I played around with the intents and was able to turn toggle 'always listening', but the functionality I'm looking for doesn't seem to be among the list. I'd like to turn that off when I leave the house so that my text messages aren't read aloud to everyone I'm with!

All the best,

- Jon
[Android Apps and Games] kaliakman:
Just say Turn off Notifications
[Android Apps and Games] Jon_Shafer:
The problem is that I often forget to do this! I'd like to set up an automated process in Tasker to enable utter! notifications when it detects my home wifi network or when my headphones are plugged in, but turn them off the rest of the time.

- Jon
[Android Apps and Games] tonhuelos:
I use Read It To Me (ReadItToMe) available at google play for reading my text messages. It does have the function to only read when bluetooth connected or when head set is plugged in. Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] CZ Eddie:
Okay, well I was speaking of my experience, not as a developer. So I can't say I'm 100% confident in what was said.

But a nice workaround would be to have all Utter commands contain a .5 or 1 second "dead air" prior to the voice speaking. This would get Bluetooth's attention long enough for the voice to come though without any disruption.

I have no idea how to get that done though.

sms readout

I'm not in a position to test this out right now but can you not try a profile in tasker that when you leave home be it home wifi disconnected or by gps/cell tower create a task using secure settings notification listeners and set it to off? Just a thought as I say I can't test for you right now
[Android Apps and Games] keen36:
wow, thanks for that hint! :good:

utter didn't appear as a notification listener, but it is possible to just deactivate utter as an accessibility service with secure settings. it works perfectly, i will report if i run into any problems.
[Android Apps and Games] ewingr:
I installed and decided to give it another try.

On my ROM (Liquid Smooth 2.37) if I enable it to listen, it beeps like it's listening every 3-4 seconds.

recognition beep

This has been discussed many times on here and it's an issue with the google search update from a while back, a temporary fix is to go to settings, applications and find google search and uninstall updates until brandall releases an update to utter to address the issue
[Android Apps and Games] markworksfx:
I'm seriously thinking about letting utter go there haven't been any updates in a long time I've been waiting for the location profile update but it hasn't happened it's been over a year now all the things I've been waiting for in utter I can do in Tasker including the location profiles

Update

Hi folks, a lightening update for you

I'll post the latest test version on here either tomorrow or the next day for you to have a play with.

I need to time the next Play Store update of utter! with the release of my Text to Speech Engine which brings over 300 network synthesised voices to Android. If I don't release them together, then I miss out on joint media posts and hitting the Trending apps section etc etc....

Working my ass off every day to get everything done as soon as possible.

The app is far from abandoned - It's moving to the Cloud in 2 versions time and all commands will global and dynamically update/create/spawn depending on the interaction of the user-base. <--- too much to explain right now!

Anyway, sorry I've not been around to answer questions, living in a dark room hiding from the rest of the world whilst I code like lunatic! :cool: :cyclops:

If you want to help test the Text to Speech Engine, drop me an email from the app with the title TESTING!!!!!!!!!! Please email me from the gmail address that links to your G+ profile, which you need to have to use the alpha testing features.

Thanks as always for your support :good:

Back soon.......

Cheers

Ben

Galaxy gear

I remember finding this app for my note 3 awhile back and thought it was amazing. I recently got a galaxy gear and this was by far the one thing I wanted to get loaded on it. So far I have installed it and it does utilize the mic on the gear for speech synthesis however upon trying to train a custom command. I get "Somethings wrong, Please check your Google voice installation". I am a pretty big novice to the realm of modding but I will be searching for a solution, in the meantime if anyone has any tips it would be more then welcome!

Great app!
[Android Apps and Games] boldvishal:
That's great and something to cheer about. Like others, I was also planning to get rid of utter. Hoping to see the light of new version soon.
[Android Apps and Games] mitom911:
oh. it's amazing app

I'll try it and give feedback soon :D
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
V3.0.9.1.1 UP!

Hi folks, as promised, attached is an update with the permanent recognition fixed.

I won't list all of the new commands, as most of them are still only half built, but a couple of things to be going on with.

"Name that tune"

"What track/song is this"

^ Will activate Google song recognition or Soundhound or Shazam

Application shortcuts

^ In Customisation under Create Commands, you can now assign any app shortcut to a command.

There should be shortcuts to playlists and books and gmail labels etc etc, whatever your installed apps expose to the Launcher.

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

I'll post another update soon when I've got the other commands and customisations complete

The layout has changed slightly and the ticks and crosses finally update!

The permanent notification no longer appears in the status bar (but shows when you pull it down)

Thanks as always for your support!

Cheers

Ben

Ps. Still need more testers for my new Text to Speech app - Drop me a message from the app titled TESTING!!!! and I'll spot it and send you an invite to the G+ Community. <--- You need to email me from the gmail account that you use on G+
[Android Apps and Games] tonhuelos:
Thanks Brandall. I absolutely love this voice app. No mention of if the bluetooth operation has been fixed but I will try it out and report to others. Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] ewingr:
Don't expect a reponse, Brandon, but glad to see you have updated. I had waiting for a long time, almost forgetting about the app. Just a day or two ago had a conversation here about problems with the wake issue, someone saying it is known and will be updated. Having waited for updates for so long, I figured I'd give up.

But alas, here is the update. And the wake feature is fixed. I've installed, and will see how it goes.

One more suggestion for functionality

Just for the burner some time in the future: I used to use MS Voice Command, and a feature on it I liked was "What are my appointments today?", and it listed them out. Found it handy to play during my drive in to work.

Haven't replied in quite some time but I've monitored the posts.

Thanks to Ben first for his continued efforts amongst his other projects.

It also seems that using the Okay Google command while in permanent recognition gets you spoken results which is a big plus.

I've noticed though that if you let the device go to sleep with the screen open from that command that permanent recognition will not re-enable until you close it...... Just FYI.
